"What the fuck is your problem?" he spit out, accent coming in hard. I shrug, "It was hilarious". "Do you wanna die?" "Try me, pendejo" I start to stand but he was faster. Shooting his arm out, he grabbed me by the throat but I showed no sign of fear. I looked him straight in the eye as his eyes seemed to turn a darker shade of blue. "I will fucking kill you" he growled. "Go for it" I whisper, winking at him. "You choking me is a huge turn on". In progress!!

COMPLETED. "Look, if you're-" "Shut up." I was taken back at the sudden manner in which he spoke to me. "Let's get something straight Miss Greene, I don't appreciate people talking back at me. And quite frankly, you're crossing your limit with me and my patience with you. So from now on, as long as you're with me you'll do as I say. Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love.
