What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family.

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me.

Absolution|| +18 by ImaniMars

For most of my life, emotions have been a dull, distant echo, barely registering in the background of my existence.

Covering him in his sins. The gold owned by the two he once looked up to, the memories he cherished of the two fading away like the light in their eyes did. They begged him to shoot an arrow through both hearts, to fix the gold light that ran through every being. As he felt himself slowly crack away from the world. The necklaces fell from his body, into the hands of his love. The love he wasn't meant to love. He felt those arms wrap around his body. Feeling his body fade away, in his very arms. ====== started: 11/14/2022 ended: ??/??/???? ====== MOST RECENT RANKINGS: 1# rusame 12/10/2022 1# countryhumans 12/17/2022 1# statehumans 10/13/14
