Gone Wrong

Glaring sharpened daggers right at me, he said,
"If I win this game, you will get the fuck out of my house."

I looked at the board, biting my lips

"And only I get to touch what's mine like that."

Without even meaning to, kissed him back. But shame and ego puddled inside me like a rainy day.
