Chapter 44: Slap
- Kathrine Andrews: ( Song of the Chapter: Desire by MEG MYERS)
I stood there, staring into Glyndon’s eyes, daring her to challenge me.
I hated her. I hated the way she and her group made me feel for being gay and hated even more the pain she caused me over the past three years.
She could have stopped it. She could have told her friends to stop tormenting me for being gay, but she didn’t.
She stood by and watched. And now? Now she thinks she can act possessive over me? As if she has any right? That will never happen.
She looked at me, her lips parting to speak, but all that came out was stammered nonsense.
Her mouth opened and closed, but no words came. Until finally, she managed to say, "No. What the f—what makes you think—I’m not gay. I don’t like you. I don’t want to be with you. I don’t want any of this."
A smirk spread across my face as I watched her flounder. Her words should have hurt, but they didn’t. They only fueled me.
I stepped closer, closing the distance between us until I could feel her nervous energy.
My hand shot out, gripping her throat, and I saw the shock in her eyes as I tightened my hold. She clawed at my wrists, her breaths shallow and desperate. But I didn’t let go.
I leaned in until my lips hovered over hers, my voice low and dangerous. "And it better stay this way," I hissed. "Because you are nothing but a plaything to me. Do you understand? A plaything that I enjoy playing with. Don’t you dare think you have any rights over me? Don’t you dare think you can tell me what to do?"
