"What have I done to you? To us?" I whisper to myself as I stare at the broken man in front of me.
In this moment, I have a duty to my country. My whole life has led me to this service. I must not disappoint Cai. This is my purpose, I remind myself.
In this moment, with just a bulletproof mirror separating me from the shadow of the man in front of me, I could feel this memorized purpose leave my body. As if it had never been real in the first place. In this moment, I am simultaneously running from my past and also chasing a ghost. In this moment, my uniform and badges are no longer for my country. They are for him. In this moment, everything that I am is for him.

Midnight Whispers ||18+
My plan was to run away from him. He's a psychopathic monster, but you know the thing about monsters? ~They always follow, They always haunt. They forever stalk, They never stop. ---------------------------------------------------------- He buried his face in my hair at the nape of my neck and whispered~ "Bad move, angel. You shouldn't have cared about him." With that, he fired six bullets into the man who was now lying on the ground with blood all over his chest. He fired one more time not moving away from me or even looking back at that man. He just killed him. "If any other man besides me has your attention, this is what they'll get in return." ---------------------------------------------------------- He started taking steps forward, not afraid of the gun I was pointing at him, and I started taking steps back, unable to shoot him. "You have 10 seconds to pull that trigger. If you don't, I'm gonna let you run, then hunt you down, break into your house, kiss you hard, rip off your clothes, and suck your tits until you beg me to fuck you like the good lil slut you are!" ---------------------------------------------------------- .A tale of obsession and payback.
Eye Witness
"Did Jake tell you where he was going?" The police officer asked. "He went out back to play." I told him. "Do you remember what time that was?" Another officer spoke that time. I thought back to when Jake had tried to entice me to play ninjas with him that night. "Just after dinner. I don't know what time that was." Where was my brother? "Was he acting normally?" That question had my stomach in knots. "Yes sir."Complete
His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other.

A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare (Book 1)
She didn't reply and I felt her finger move across my skin, lower, and almost all the way down my lower back. A shiver coursed through my body, strangely pleasant, and I felt her finger stop. "Your tattoos are beautiful," she said softly. Too close. She was too close. My pulse was hammering and I could feel her cool breath against my skin when she spoke, and my body was warm from having felt her. I couldn't reply. My breathing was light and shaken. I wanted to just turn around and pull her against me, or rather put her against a wall, so I could kiss her and feel her more properly against me. If she touched me again, I wasn't sure that I could keep myself from doing just that. "I'm going to take a shower," I said suddenly in an attempt to escape. She didn't stop me, so I took that opportunity to walk away. When I reached the bathroom, I took a deep breath to steady myself as well as my pulse. Closing the door behind me, I ran a hand through my hair. She truly was a nightmare. A bad boy's worst nightmare was a girl that made him want to be a good one.Complete
