His touch brought me such pleasure, it only made me madder as the burn of his rejection again set me ablaze. Slipping from his hold, I took the silver knife from my pocket and held it to his neck. He trembled as he leaned away from the silver. The burning inside me deepened and I could feel the tears in my eyes but I quickly shoved them back as I let the fire he ignited fuel my anger. "I've had about enough of you," I hissed through clenched teeth. "You're pathetic, get off my land." "Then let me give you something to remember just how pathetic I am." Taking the knife, I carved an X into the spot where I should have been able to mark him, where I wanted to bite him now. "Fuck!" He pulled back and held his bloody neck, it wasn't healing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First round of edits are finally complete!
