“Do you think I’m gonna go easy on you because you’re still a baby?”
“Fuck you.” She laughed.
“We’ll get to that. Think I’m gonna treat you like delicate glass because of your age? I waited for this, Angela.”
She glared, and he smiled. “I wanted you before it was even fucking decent. I give about as many fucks as I ever had about anything for your age. I waited until you were grown, didn’t I? Until this body I own ripened and could handle me. So I let you go out with worthless boys, watched you go on dates, and have fun. I let them teach you kissing and whatever else. It’s the most decent thing I’ll ever do for you.”
“Lawless...” she puffed, feeling everything at once.
He made her feel so much.
Want everything.
Needed him in ways that still made little sense.
Because she loved the impossible.
When her life changed from one thing to another, she was no longer that same Angela because bad things had made her into a new person, and her heart yawned open and accepted the impossible.
She lived on scraps.
She existed on minute pieces of attention.
It became her entire world, and there was no way she could go back to that old version of herself.
Not when he existed in this life and wanted her in return.
This dark, troubled life where terrible things happened... usually because he was the one doing them.
And all Angela craved was to be at his side, accepting the man he was, even if it made her as despicable as Lawless.
“Lawless, I want...”
“Finish your sentence, angel.”
“I...”
“Now.”
His eyes weren’t only blue anymore. They arrested the breath right out of her.
He had no clue how beautiful he was when he became unfettered.
“I want your cock, Lawless.”
“Where?”
“Anywhere. Everywhere. In me.”
He stood suddenly and pushed down the sweatpants, revealing a body made from steel and a cock angled out from perfect hips. “Fuck’s sake.”
“Law...”
His head snapped up, and when he breathed, he did it raggedly, expanding the whole of his broad chest until it crushed up against her own when he came down over her.
“You had so many chances, angel. So many to have a life that wasn’t centered on me. I gave that to you, remember?”
She nodded, breathing slowly.
