------- "fuck you!" I yell "shut up," he says slowly. "Shut up? what the fuck do you mean shut up, we're in the middle of an argument and you're telling me to shut up" I yelled again at this point, my throat hurt and my voice was raspy. "Arya shut the fuck up right now or I'm going to shut it for you,'' he spoke dangerously slow. His voice was in a tone he's never spoken before, and it scared me, my elbows tense as I heard his heavy breathing. I hoped he did not sense how he affected me, how every touch and kiss or word sends a weird reaction to my core, but I couldn't back down, not now. I stood up straight. "fuck yo-" I tried to say but I was cut off by his lips smashed to mine. Sex scenes⚠️ Strong language ⚠️ Self-harm⚠️
