"Does soap kill a human?" he queried, letting me go and gazing around to see no one was in the room. Sometimes it was like he lacked common sense about the most mundane things.

The toilets were squeaky clean, as expected from the public library, but the stench of piss was still very present. Somehow, a lot of men in Beckville smelled of crazy masculinity like nobody's business, Kye being the worst one of them all.

"Try tide pods, that may give you the desired outcome."

I didn't even try and reach for the door to escape- he'd have me over the sink with my panties down within seconds.

"You can do that to yourself." He leaned against the wall and nodded with his head towards the sink next to him. "Now, go on."

"Do you enjoy acting like a child?"

"With every word you say from now on I'll be having you neck a shot of soap."

His eyes told me he wasn't kidding. My hands were trembling, so I jammed them into the pockets of my own sweatpants. This guy made me dread my existence. Dread the day I was born. But I remained unfazed and strolled towards the sink like it was of my free will.

"You know, your dog is the only one that doesn't like me," he remarked, following my movements as I gathered my hair and lowered my head. Turning on the water stream, I drowned my mouth with the filthy-tasting liquid.

"It keeps barking at me, like you, much."

My Doberman, Hades, was the only living thing alongside my mom that I could still muster up positive feelings for. He was aggressive as shit, keeps on killing every living thing he encounters, but wouldn't do so much as growl at me. He loved me, and I loved him back. Especially for hating Kye.

"I keep feeling tempted to rip its head off. I hate things that bark at me."

I let the cold water run over my temples in a futile attempt to cool my head, before getting back to letting it wash my mouth. I closed my eyes. It wasn't all that bad; I needed a drink anyway. It'd be better if the water in this town actually tasted good, though.

"But then I remember that if I did that, I'd hurt my favorite human female in this godforsaken town."

Kye's ass was as diabolic as contradictionary as downright insane. I wasn't confused by his words. His names for me, too. I mean, human female? Who in the world addresses a girl like that?

"But then I remember I like hurting my precious little lady."

Oh, really, I thought sarcastically. For how long are you going to let me waste water for your stupid games?

"You can stop now," he stated, as if he'd read my mind. "I'm satisfied."

I made the mistake of thinking he was completely done and opened my mouth again. "Oh, lord Kye is satisfied. Thank God."
