68 parts Complete MatureAs we race away in the car, a storm of anger and fear swells inside me. How could she be so reckless? How could she risk everything like that?
When the empty road stretches before us, I slam on the brakes, my heart pounding in my chest. I throw the door open and pull Chiara out with me, my hands trembling with frustration. "What the hell were you thinking?" I shout, my voice raw and shaking.
She glares at me, defiance blazing in her eyes. "Why do you even care?" she fires back, her voice dripping with disdain.
Without thinking, I grab her, pulling her so close that her breath mingles with mine in the cold night air. "Because you belong to me," I whisper, my voice low and dangerous. "Mine to protect, mine to punish, mine to destroy if I have to."
Her eyes widen, shock flickering across her face, but there's something else-a wild, reckless pull, an attraction that mirrors my own. We're both trapped, caught in a fire neither of us can control.
In that moment, I know we're dancing on the edge of something dangerous. But sometimes, it's the flames that pull us in.
