Change of Heart - Regretful Husband
I entered his office, fully aware that he would be angry. As I stepped inside, he shot me a dark look, clearly annoyed by my presence. He didn't throw me out right away, but stayed seated, a stack of papers in front of him. "Anthony, please. I've tried to reach out to you. If you could just hear me out. I regret everything, truly. You have no idea how sorry I am for my actions. I can change; just give me a chance to prove I'm not the bad person you think I am. Please," my voice sounded weak, but that's how I felt. Anthony remained still, not reacting at all, as if he hadn't heard me. "Leave," he ordered. "Please, just listen," I pleaded. "If you don't leave, someone will make you." He could be harsh and unkind. No matter how many times I sought his forgiveness, he wouldn't budge. Once, I even knelt down, a moment I wish I could forget. He walked away, leaving me there. That was when I realized how cruel he could be. He never physically harmed me, but I don't think he needed to. After the wedding and what he found out, he never touched me again.

Addicted
"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.
