♦️ A story about love, born from revenge ♦️

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

She, as a free spirit had an immense passion for life, and due to her desire to live it as wholly as possible, she needed as much freedom as she could get. Thus, she's never been one to religiously follow rules, restrictions or social conventions that restrained her ability to explore, experience and discover the wonders of life.

Although she had her traumas and fears that held her in pain, she maintained to stay true to her authentic self and kept trying to get revenge for the injustice in her life. 

In essence, she was the free spirit who lusted for freedom above all else, and could be reckless and volatile at times, following the whims of her heart.

Everything was simpler before she met him, the one person who was able to take her freedom away from her and change her life from the beginning. 

But was he the one who was able to cure her or the one who was able to destroy her?

I pulled away, glancing up into his eyes I wrapped my arms around his neck, offering him a warm smile.
"I'm gonna t-tell you something" I mumbled. "You're a good kisser."
He remained silent, just watched me with some kind of interest, or intensity, I would say, as I continued.
"But pr-omice me s-something." I said. 
"Kiss a girl only when it comes from here." I placed my hand on his chest, over his heart. 
"You should kiss only the one you love. Not me."

A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips.

What is she meeting within facing the most feared facts of life? "stop resisting Samantha. You want this I can tell," Raising my head. I look up to stare into those capturing ocean-like eyes that are trying to offer what I think I want but at the same time, I don't think I do. "I don't know Kai," I say in my small voice trying hard to not stutter with my words. I feel one of his fingers under my chin raising my head to look up at him and I find myself drowning in his ocean-like eyes "You do know sweetheart." He says looking straight into my eyes while grinning down at me. I find myself again not being able to pull away from staring at his lips and when he catches where my attention is, he smirks. I turn my gaze away quickly when I am caught staring but that makes him chuckle. I turn my head to the side but I feel the tips of his lips lingering beside my cheek, all the way to my ear. His hot breath on my skin brings goosebumps on my skin while the hairs on my skin stand. "I know you hate this place princess and I also know that you don't want to make good memories here but try me sweetheart, and I will make you feel like you are back home in America."

Though I did notice her taking a long breath, as if not to get angry. "Since you won't answer me! LISTEN! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! I CAN KISS WHOEVER I WANT! I CAN FUCK-' I was slammed against a wall with her hand around my throat and her eyes deep red, glaring at me. She growled loudly and angrily. "You. Are. Mine. Never. EVER. Say. That. Again." She said squeezing my neck every time she said a word, making sure I heard everything. I wanted to say something back. But her red eyes ensured that being sassy would not help me at all! Plus, with her hand around my neck...I am sure the only reason I am standing right now is her grip on my neck. I am sure if I said something I would only stutter and embarrass myself. "Understand?" Her eyes were daring me to say something other than a yes. And I wasn't going to take that dare. I nodded my head as fast as I could with her grip on me. "Words." "Y-y-yes..." I said.
