"Stop crying," he growled, gripping my chin in his hand.
When I did not stop crying, he took his teeth and bit my neck hard, making a mark on me. I whimpered as I wiped my tears, keeping my mouth sealed. I wanted to scream but once again, I did not want to make a scene. I had to behave even though he treated me wrong because paparazzi followed us everywhere, and I had to give off that happy couple appearance. If I were to do something wrong, it would be all over social media and the news for about an entire week. Thinking about this detail, I obeyed his orders.
"Good girl," he soothed, as though I was a dog, and he kissed the bite mark he left on my neck.

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts.
"Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about."
"The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns.
I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently.
"Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer.
He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot.
"You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues.
"Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile.
