"No one" I mock just because I can. He'll get riled up. He'll seize control, just as I want him to.
He clicks his tongue. Taking one more swipe at my clīt, I arch against him but he moves away. "Only good girls get to cum."
"No!" I whine. "Please come back. I'll be a good girl."
"I hope so," his voice sounds like it's fading. I panic at the thought. Opening my eyes to darkness, I found no one in the room and my hand down my panties. Shït. It was all a dream. I close my eyes, breathing in and out. I really thought it was real.

I accept my fate at his hands. I'd rather he kill me than anyone else. Struggling to give him a smile, I say: "I love you."
I fade into the darkness with his face being the last thing I'll ever see.
