Kyle's eyes seemed to be glazed over as he continued to stare at me with an unknown look in his eyes. "Look, I'm sorry, but-" I began to tell him off, but he didn't give me a chance to finish. "Twice now you've walked away from me," he said while slowly backing me into the corner wall. My legs began to shake at the thought of us playing into our roles. "Make it a third, and trust me when I say, the consequences won't be in your favor." "Do you understand?" The closer he got, the harder it became for me to focus on what he was saying. "Yes," I breathed. "Good," was all he said before he wrapped his hand around my neck and slammed his lips onto mine. »»-----　♡　-----«« Lilac Reynolds is not your average twenty-year-old.

"You are mine!" He roars. "I will do whatever it takes to make you know that. Whether it means I lock you up in a prison and throw away the key." Footsteps come rushing into the dining room, and I turn to see multiple men--guards I suppose, flanking one another. Each of their hands rest on things within their jackets.

I try to turn my head to look behind me, at him, but his hands move to the sides of my face, stopping me. "I can give you the world Mia. I am no fool. I know that love takes time, and I will give you as much as it takes. But you are mine."
