The King's Obsession
My lips were still tingling, swollen and hot from the absolute dominance of his mouth.
I kissed him back.
The realization felt like a heavy, suffocating weight on my lungs. I had willingly surrendered to the monster who tore my life apart. I crawled into the massive king-sized bed hours later, the vast emptiness of the mattress doing nothing to soothe the violent conflict raging in my soul. I closed my eyes, praying for the oblivion of sleep to save me from my own treacherous mind.

When my eyes snapped open in the dead of the night, the room was draped in dense, suffocating shadows. The storm outside had passed, leaving behind a heavy, echoing silence.
