Dared To Love's Sequel

"Where's Ryder?" I questioned as my heart growled inside my chest when he entered into the room, "Is he okay?"
"Please Em, don't make this harder than it already it," his tone was harsh, with a hint of softness with his eyes melting into mine. Oh god, what has he done? Who have I become...?
"I need to know," I retort in a silent hiss, tears threatening to spill but I somehow managed to blink them back...he didn't have to know what images have taunted my mind for days on repeat, "Please?"
He stalked over to me, taking my hands in his by surprised. I didn't flinch when his warmth of his body touched the coldness of mine...and still my eyes remained locked with his.
I wasn't scared of him...anymore.
I knew every single gruesome crime that he had committed in the past, but yet I still believed there is some humanity left in him and I wanted to help him.
He then clasped his hands, entwining his fingers with mine. A moment passed, then another, then another. Moments became minutes, yet neither of us moved an inch. Comfort is what we found with each other, but was it enough for me to stay?
As his eyes stayed linked with mine, I almost felt my breath being snatched away. He left me stunned in a daydream...or was I still in a nightmare?
He is a ruthless criminal who doesn't obey any rules when he wants to be, but under all those cruel layers..he's just alone.
"He's your first love," he whispered, "But I intend on being your last."

Sometimes to find true love, you need a part two.

Mia Graham.
I've always thought of the world to be a good place. The people in it as well. This man is definitely intimidating and a bit scary but I see how sweet and caring he is. He shows me a lot but he hides even more. He thinks he's the dark and he's determined to show me that he's not worth my time.
But he doesn't understand he's all I'll ever want.
He doesn't get that I love every dark piece of him.
I want everything. But I don't know if he'll let me have it all.
Ryder Carson.
The world is a terrible place. The people might be worse. That's all I've ever known. But this woman is a masterpiece. An angel. This world is unworthy of her light. These people get to bask in it when all they deserve is to be scalded. This life is terrible.
But she's making it a whole lot better. She's making it seem worth it.
I just don't deserve her.
I'm drowning in the dark and I will not drag her down with me.
