Every promise he made, he kept.
He spreads me open, searching for his treasure, treating me like one.
“Oh God,” I gasp. “Please.”
“Don’t stop.”
I arch my back, lifting my hips, pressing him closer as I rub myself against his mouth.
“Fuck,” I moan as his tongue curls inside me, licking deep, teasing my inner walls as they start to tighten around nothing.
“Shut up,” he says against my pulsing pussy. He slaps my clit, then whispers again, “Didn’t your Daddy teach you not to speak while someone’s eating?”
“No,” I whisper through a moan.
“Then I will,” he says, spreading me wider.
He drags his tongue up slowly, circling my clit, licking left and right. My thighs shake as my slick coat his face. His fingers curl inside me like hooks, pulling me open. My inner walls tighten around him, and another moan slips out from my mouth.
He thrusts his fingers faster now, keeping me locked on him, not letting the ache fade for even a second.
Then he stops.
He moves back up my body and hovers over my face. I look at him, breathless.
“Zayne,” I whisper.
“Zayne?” he repeats, laughing softly. “You really think he would eat you like this?”
Fuck.
“Zeke?” I whisper instead. A tear slips down my temple, shame burning as it hits the sheet.
“Yeah,” he says. “And you better fucking remember that name, because you’ll take it to your grave, you needy little slut.”
He slaps my cheek and gets up.
I curl into the mattress as the drugs finally start to wear off.
My mind betrays me, filling the empty spaces with fantasy, stitching scenes into something I want to believe. Something softer. Something that helps me survive the abuse.
And I feel done.
Like it can’t get worse.
I am so tired. Too tired to fight. Too tired to push.
I want someone to save me. To tell me this is just a bad dream.
But life is not a fairytale.
Life is not a book you can rewrite to your liking. It’s a chapter that repeats itself, over and over, until maybe the plot twists toward something better.
And even then, it might not.
Because not every story gets a happy ending.
