"You don't get it do you?"

"Get what Angel?" 

"I'm not someone you can be proud to be with. I'm too broken for my own good. I'm someone you toss aside after you're done me."

"What" I croak out as I see him watching me.

"You don't get it do you?" he said.

"You are the strongest woman I have ever seen. You put the weight of the world on your shoulder and put on a smile while doing so. You give so much and ask for so little. You are the true definition of an angel. You aren't broken you're just a little cracked. And I know I can't change that but what I can change is the way you view yourself. They could never forcefully take the best thing out of you. Your love. You're not used because you've never given your love to anyone. I don't care about the superficial things I care about you and just you. And these scars of yours..."
He lifted up my arms and rolled up my sleeves. He then began to pepper kisses all over the scars on my arms.

"...are your battle wounds." he murmured against my skin giving me goosebumps and shivers.

"I can show how much of a 'little' guy I am." He said emphasizing the little. He came closer to me. Our lips were inches away. I could smell the scent of his cologne definitely not cheap. My breathing became uneven. "What's wrong princess? Cat got your tongue" He stroked my cheek. I leaned into his touch but he removed it. He pulled away grabbing another glass. I let out a breath. I turned around. Guess I have to do this the hard way. I leaned near to his ear. He tensed. "Teasing me is only making me wet. Imagine you inside me. Screaming your name.
