Aaaaahhhh!!!
SLAP!
As soon as I started hearing that sound, I snapped my eyes open and immediately started scanning my environment. Then I noticed Athena staring at me with concern, and I began screaming once more, absolutely petrified.
SLAP!
As I started to feel the stinging sensation on my cheeks, I was silenced. When I looked at Athena, I could tell she was dumbfounded by my initial response.
I decided to sit back on the bed and raised her chin to glance into her eyes. Then I traced her cheeks and started to look at where her heart should be located. I took a deep breath, taking it easy. Everything is still very much intact.
What a disturbing nightmare!
Then, without warning, I managed to draw Athena in close, having caused her to bury her face in my broad shoulders as I enveloped my arms around her, ingesting her sweet

Megan's POV I kept pacing back and forth while looking intently in the mirror. I took a deep breath, plaintively, as I turned and swirled around, my reflection mimicking my movement patterns.

I had persuaded her to accompany me after work so that I could try on newdesigner clothes and eventually make a purchase.

I am not quite certain just what is taking you so long to finally decidewhat you reallywant." And, yes, she is completely right.

Then he kissed me vociferously, his hands fondling my smooth, silky skin while thrusting harder and deeper. As for myself, I have not been in the mood for this. I am not quite certain why, but ever since I had an impeccable encounter with Cloud, it crafted me to want him even more. Ever since that night, the baggage counter man from the extravagant shopping mall Lovi and I had decided to visit in the city had already shown a possessive desire for me. When I decided to walk out of the boutique after such shopping humiliation and anguish, I heard loud footsteps behind me. When I decided to turn around, I have seen the

"Is everything all right, Megan?" he worriedly queried. I sniffed and nodded, then smiled at him. "What actually happened? Would you like to share it with me? "He inquired once more.

In contrast to how aggressive I am right now, she was only used to the tender, loving kisses I have been giving her before.I started teasing her, daring her to open her mouth.

Cameras flash from various angles on the lifeless body of the young man who was brutally murdered. Police officers were prowling the surrounding areas searching for further clues in the desperate hope of apprehending someone partaking in suspicious behavior. A young man, presumably in his early twenties, lies motionless behind the towering trees and shrubs. He was deeply scarred on the left facetof his chest, in which the most vital part of his organ, the heart, was missing. I slipped on a latex glove and began examining the corpse's body.

The man's name is Andrew Wilkins, he is 24 years old, and he appears to work as a landscape architect. I

I closed my eyes tightly, inclined to relish the warmth of the water on my skin. The sight of the man with a stolen heart continues to haunt me. I absolutely cannot fathom how anyone could bear inflicting that monstrosity on him and Janet. That's when I started to hear something. I blinked my eyes open and ended up turning off the heater. I listened carefully, having trouble remembering whether I had securely double-locked my front door. I glanced up as the light in my bathroom started to flicker while I was thinking so hard. I remembered the man from the crime scene, and just thinking about him sends chills down my spine. I heard the doorknob of my bathroom twist an
