Yet, he’s also enjoying it. 

Almost like he’s the one controlling the pain—controlling me—instead of the other way around. 

“Come on, Stray,” he growls, his face tensing as he glares up at the ceiling. “Make me fucking bleed.” 

Holy shit. He’s crazier than I thought. 

“Jesus,” I exclaim, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” 

He doesn’t say a word as I push to my feet, and that only makes me more irate. 

“You’re such an asshole.” I glare at him. “Pull that shit again and I’ll tell your dad.” 

He holds my stare. “Do it.” 

Animosity flows like ice through my veins. “I hate you.” 

He picks his towel up off the floor and slings it around his waist. “I hate you more.” The corner of his lip curls. “And for the record, you give a shitty blow job.”

I should let it go and walk away, but I can’t. My dad used to always tease me about needing to have the last word, and well, he wasn’t wrong. 

“Trust me, it wasn’t like I was actually trying to please you. Hell, you forced—” 

“The moment you got on your knees, I let go of the door. You could have left whenever you wanted. But you didn’t.” 

Wow. He’s delusional. “That’s because my mother was standing right outside—”

“So you’d rather suck your stepbrother’s dick than have mommy dearest come to your rescue?” He rubs his chin. “Interesting.” 

It’s all I can do not to reach over and throttle him. “Fuck off. I didn’t want—”

“Then you should have left.” Smirking, he inches closer. “But here you are.” His heated stare holds me frozen. “Christ, you’re pathetic.” 

I open my mouth to speak, but he brushes past me. “I know what you want…but it will never fucking happen.“ 

“I don’t want a damn thing from you, asshole,” I hiss before the door slams shut. 

But even as the words leave my lips, I know it’s a lie. 

Because buried deep down…beyond all the hurt and pain. 

Beyond all the lies I’ve convinced myself are the truth and all the truths I’ve forced myself to believe are lies…

I want to know why something inside me comes alive whenever he’s near. 

I want to know what makes him tick and what makes him so evil. 

I wanted a battle…but he gave me a war.
