It Kills Me: A Forbidden Dark Romance 302
I knocked on the door to her dressing room before I opened the door.She was in a tight white dress, a sleeveless gown that hugged her petite frame and put her tits right on display. Her hair was curled and pinned to one side, her makeup light instead of overdone.She gave a small gasp when she saw my reflection in the mirror. “Theo…is everything okay?”I closed the door behind me and approached her, looking her up and down, unable to believe that she would be my wife, because she was so fucking perfect. Not just on the outside…but fucking gorgeous on the inside. Her goodness shone in her eyes like stars in the heavens. “Everything is fine, but I wanted to talk to you.”She turned around to face me directly. “Then, everything is not fine.”“Astrid.” I came closer, making sure not to touch her even though I desperately wanted to… in case this didn’t work. “I just think we should talk about this one last time before we do this.”“Talk about what?” Her eyes shifted back and forth between

“I guess I am a little offended.”“You’re offended that I mentioned the women who meant nothing to me while I respect the woman I love?”“I think it’s kinda cute that Axel brags about Scarlett so much.”“Just because I don’t tell him how I fuck you doesn’t mean I don’t love you, Astrid.”“I know. I don’t think Axel is being disrespectful. He’s just…bragging about how happy he is.”“I show my love for you in other ways,” he said. “I guess I’m just old-fashioned.”“Okay. Would it make you mad if I told Scarlett details?”“No.”“Really?” I asked.“Really.”“Good to know…because I’ve kinda already told her every little thing. Or should I say, every big thing.”He smirked and almost chuckled. “That’s fine.”“It’s not disrespectful to tell her how big your dick is?”“It doesn’t bother me.”“But you don’t want Axel to know—”“I don’t want him to know anything, Astrid. Because you’re mine, only mine, and I don’t want another man having a glimpse of that—even Axel.”I stared at him for a whil

Epilogue IAstridOne Year LaterI looked at the headstones under which my parents were laid to rest, my mother on the bottom, my father on top, and then I placed the two bouquets of flowers in the stone vases. They were close to an oak tree, so there was shade on that beautiful, warm day.There were days when the loss didn’t bother me. And there were others when it brought me to tears.Today, it was somewhere in between.I’d lived with Theo for the past year, and there had been more joy in that one year than I’d known my entire life. Even on my best day with Bolton, it didn’t come close to what we had, the peace that we’d built together.Theo hadn’t asked me to marry him, but I wasn’t in a rush. Whenever he was ready, he would ask.And I would say yes.“I know you both would love him.” They would love him despite his past. Love him despite the blood on his hands. Because he was a reformed man, a man who had walked away from everything for me. “And I think he would love you too.”When

“Fuck, this is nice.” Axel leaned back in his chair, his fingers stitched together behind his head. We sat in the quiet bar, most of the tables empty because it was late on a weeknight.“We drink all the time.”“We haven’t talked in five minutes.”“You’re the talker, asshole.”“But we haven’t talked about Bolton or Beau or whatever bullshit we used to talk about. It’s just fucking chill, man.”Yes, it was chill. I’d resigned a week ago, and Astrid hadn’t seemed to notice I hadn’t gone to work. Maybe she thought I was just on vacation for a short while, even though vacation wasn’t in my vocabulary.“Scarlett has been fucking me soooo good too. Almost dying really gets her going.”“You didn’t almost die.”“Well, I may exaggerate some details to her.” He winked.Now I understood his obsession with his wife, because I had the same obsession for Astrid. I just didn’t share the details because those were just for me. “I left the Skull Kings a week ago.”That grin disappeared when he flinche

Axel was already outside the vehicle when I rounded the corner. He’d been leaning against the truck, his phone in his grip. When he spotted me and the bag, he hustled toward me. “Holy shit, you got it?” He relieved me of the bag and set it on the ground. “Turn on your flashlight.”I pulled out my phone and pointed the light at the bag.He opened it and looked inside.“How will you know it’s him?”“The brand of clothes. His pant size. Stuff like that.” He reached inside and examined one of the boots before he continued to look. Then he pulled out a black watch. He paused to study it like he recognized it. “Yeah, this is him.” He returned the watch and zipped up the bag.“How are you sure? It’s just a black watch.”He put the bag in the back of the truck. “Just trust me.”Axel followed me to Theo’s house after I picked up my car, and we walked in together. He carried the duffel bag at his side then gently placed it on the rug in the foyer. I texted Theo and asked him to meet me downstai

“If I ask for Killian’s bones, they probably won’t even care. Just not sure if I can carry them.”“Well, he’s been dead a while, so…” Axel didn’t elaborate. “I think you can manage it.”“Then let me go in alone. I’ll text you if I can.”Axel nodded before he kissed Scarlett. “See you in a bit, baby.”“Be careful.” She looked at Axel then at me. “Both of you.”Axel parked at the curb and killed the engine. “You sure about this?”I nodded.“Just because he buried Bolton doesn’t make you obligated to do this.”“I know, but I want to. Theo deserves peace.”“You already give him peace, Astrid.”I looked out the window at the sidewalk. “Give me thirty minutes.”He gave a nod.I left the car then approached the club. People were gathered outside, and the music was loud. They had no idea what lay underneath. I moved to the front, and no one stopped me from entering the hallway and going down the stairs to the basement entry.The two bouncers were there, and they recognized me without saying a
