Damian

This is a first forhard on as I drive away from a job

I try to take deep, slow breaths to calm myself down, but her natural scent is too close and all-consu

The way she sits iswith thoughts of grabbing the a hole in her tights and revealing her wet hot …

Get it together, I roar in my mind You only just met the woman

But it doesn’t feel like that, not one bit

It’s not justat the reality of her, either

“I don’t have folks,” she said, and I felt a twinging in my chest that’s difficult to identify I can only name it as an enhanced version of what Sparky makes me feel … human, perhaps

Yeah, maybe this woman makes me feel human

In the lights of the car, I see ridiculous vignettes, like this gorgeous dark-haired woman all sweaty and deliriously happy fro cradled to her ample breast and a wide smile on her heaven-sent face

We did it, I i We really did it, Damian

I try to tell o, to drop her off at the nearest police station, but then my mind catapults into a future where another es through me

I can never let that happens

She fucking belongs to me

“Where are you from?” I ask

“Why do you ask?” she sasses

Her eyes are dry now, but her cheeks still glisten with the memory of tears

“Justconversation,” I snarl “No need to bite my damn head off”
