there once was a boy, that found solace in the cry of broken hearts.
his name was luther, but the ears of his heart were deaf.
day by day the bids for his soul raised as somehow the angel had managed to bewitch him, making his hunger for hearts docile.
for once he felt like he could probably settle down, forget his silly games for just a while—probably.
"angel. do we sip wine tonight? or beer at my father's bar" he asks, rubbing his palm against her bare thigh as they lay down in the trunk of his dodge 2016 van.
"why not water?" she asks and he sputters on laughter, looks down on her laying on his chest.

her cranberry stained lips sucked at his jaw line, flowered his neck, the corners of his lips, captured his bottom lip in hers.
it all startled him but he never pushed her off.
instead he easily dominated her by turning her over, hovering over her heavenly tanned frame, fingers wondering and soft moans flooding the air under the soft red haze of the horror movie.
