Page 2 of Virtue & Vengeance

A girl wouldn’t have begged me to make her come or left vicious scratches down my back.

No.

Eden was no girl.

I could still taste her sweetness on my tongue.

I could still feel her body drenching mine when she came all over me.

“How did that happen?”

I stood, staring out the window and watching all the people who walked along the sidewalk. I wondered if any of them were sick in the head like me.

Did any of them get off imagining an innocent woman choking on cock?

Did they think of taking an innocent woman’s virginity?

Claiming her in one minute and then destroying her in the next?

“It happened because I wanted it to. I wish I could say I had no self-control, but I wanted Eden, and I didn’t care about the consequences. What does that mean, Doctor?”

She sighed, pulled the glasses from her face, and leaned forward. “It means your human, Zander. Despite what happened, you’ve come a long way in the past six months. You’re not the same man who walked into my office the day after that night.”

That night.

The night that haunted me.

I tensed when she spoke of the incident. I’d paid her good money to keep my secret, and even better money to never mention it again, yet she was there looking back at me and talking about the one thing that could crush me.

As it was, I had to force myself every day not to think of her or the way her dead eyes stared up at me.

I had to force myself to forget about the night I couldn’t remember.

I didn’t know her.

I’d just met her when I was out that night.

We danced.

We drank.

And that was it.

I had only one memory past that point, and it was of her telling me no. The next thing I knew, I was waking up next to a dead woman.

I walked the world every day unsure if I was a sex-addicted murderer. Uncertain of what I’d done to her.

I only knew she was bloody and her eyes and mouth were open wide in shock.

She was dead.

And she had refused me the one thing I couldn’t seem to get enough of.

Sex.

It was too much.

“I thought we agreed never to speak of it,” I said, my jaw tight with anger.
