"Oh sweet little kitten, don't cry. Let me wipe away those tears from your beautiful eyes. Tell me what's made you sad. I shall kill whoever it is who've hurt you Kitten". I hated his little pet name for me, but then why did my heart skip a beat every time I heard it. Why did my body react and want to be claimed every time he whispered it so softly. He knew full well the effect he had on me and I hated the fact that I had no control over it. Lily thought she had it all. A loving family, a good job and an adoring husband. But she couldn't be further from the truth. What Lily isn't aware of is the past her parents left behind. Her father, James Richardson the notorious ex mafia boss and his wife by force Isabella Richardson. She has no idea of the lies her parents are hiding from her. But soon enough, the truth always comes out. "You tried to run from your past. Foolish of you for thinking everything would fall back into place. But never mind, because it won't be you suffering the consequences".

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

"I'm not gonna have sex with you baby. Not yet. Just a little fun with the help of some old toys." He smirked and then it suddenly hit me. He stole the vibrator. "You know, I would rather use an all black one but this pink one will work too. I'm going to show how to use it properly to give you the best orgasms you've ever felt. Can I?" He looks between the belt and the headboard and I realise what he wants to do. Offering my wrists to him, I smile, letting excitement override my nerves. "Promise to make me scream?"
