King : Darker Than Romance
Author: Shantel Davis

 

Introducing

 

 

Eden

There was something bad in King, hiding behind the façade. He was dangerous. I knew it, but I was drawn to his flame like a moth. And no matter how many times I got burned, I kept going back. I even poked and prodded at his monster because something in me was broken.

 

 

King

Everything I did to Eden, she begged for.

 

 

King: Poison

Present

Eden invaded my space, pressing her soft, full curves into me. Her scent, like warm vanilla and honeysuckle, made my mouth water. She tilted her head back to stare up at me with her big brown eyes, causing my stomach to tighten. She was so tempting. She had just turned eighteen, and she was so fucking naïve and innocent, a virgin. As fucked up as it sounds, that alone made me want to taint her. I could feel the dark part of me, the part I hid from her mother and her, pulling at its leash to do just that.

I should have left the room when she asked me to tell her what actual sex felt like. I knew what it could lead to. What it would lead to. We had already gone too far, too many times before that night. I knew going further would be our ruin. But Eden had a way of making me go against what I knew was right. I justified staying by telling myself that we’d already been doing wrong for months. As long as I didn’t put my dick inside of her, we wouldn’t cross the line of no return.

I gave in. I described sex to her in vivid detailed. I couldn’t resist touching her while I talked. I showed her how a man touches a woman. Gentle caresses here and there. Then I got rougher. I used my mouth, a nip here. I used my fingers, a pinch there. She liked it all.

I should have never touched her. That was my mistake. During all our encounters before, she had always touched me or herself. I had never touched her. She had been so turned on, so responsive and soft. Then out of nowhere she grabbed me and kissed me. I kissed her back, I couldn’t resist. She tasted so good, like ambrosia.

I made myself pull away. She reached for me. I frowned, knocking her hands away. She pouted prettily, batting her eyes up at me.

“We haven’t done anything that bad, King. We don’t even have to have sex, just touch me a little bit longer,” she coaxed in a voice that made my dick harden even more. I ached. In that moment she was more tempting than ever, with her light brown skin all flushed and her red lips swollen from my kisses, begging me.

My hands shook. She was a contradiction, a rarity. She was so fucking sexual and downright filthy at times, and yet, still pure and unjaded. I knew fucking her would be an experience I’d never forget.

I gnashed my teeth in frustration because saying no to her was turning out to be the hardest obstacle I’d ever faced. But I knew I had to. If she gave herself to me, that would be it. She would be mine, forever and always. I was possessive and jealous. I would want to be her one and only. I would want to own her. Already, just the thought of another man touching her made me see red.

She would resist my control. I could see the rebellion in her. She would fight me. I would fight back. I’d fight dirty, I’d fight to win. Even if it took breaking her spirit, I would win.

I closed my eyes. I tried to hold on to my slipping composure as my dick throbbed painfully. I ran all the reasons I should have left that room through my head. I had done a lot of bad in life but fucking up a little girl’s world couldn’t be added to my list of sins. Still, was it really a sin if she begged me to do it?

Any excuse will do. The bit of a conscience I had lashed out at me.

“Eden.” I called her name sternly, in warning. She was playing with fire. I never wanted anyone or anything as badly as I wanted her. That scared me. If she knew the real me, she’d be scared too.

I balled my fist. I dug my nails into my palm, the baser part of me clawed just beneath the surface wanting me to mark her. I fought it, fought against the need to give into her. I had been fighting that need for three years, since the day I first saw her at our parents wedding. She was so beautiful, but so young. She was still so young. I shook my head. “No. This is wrong. I should have never touched you.” I should have never participated in any of the things we’d done.

She chewed at her plump bottom lip. I know she didn’t mean for it to be sexy, but fuck, it was.

“What’s wrong with making each other feel good?” She gave me a coy look that turned the blood in my veins to acid, then she grabbed my hand. She guided it between her legs. “You make me so hot and wet.” She pressed my hand against her center. My eyes rolled to the back of my head. I groaned deep in my throat and dropped my head. The fabric of the shorts she wore were soaked and I could tell she didn’t have on any panties. I snatched my hand back like she’d singed me.

It was my turn to beg. “Don’t make me do this, Eden.” It pained me to deny myself. I sounded weak. She made me weak. “If we do this— from this moment forth, you’ll be mine and you will be doomed. Being with me will drain you bit by bit, and I will be the only one who can replenish you.” I wasn’t lying to her.

She gave me a sneaky grin. “I’m okay with that, Ashford.” She instinctively knew her saying my name in that sultry dulcet tone would do something to me. I gave up. I took a step forward. A man could only take so much. I’d been resisting for so long. I told myself I deserved her.

I was reached out, tangled my hand in her hair and snatched her head back….

“Ashford King.” The guard’s voice brought me out of my daydream. I blinked rapidly. My memory of Eden and me had felt so real. I could almost taste her on my tongue. I didn’t dwell on it though. I jumped up and grabbed my belongings.

“You ready to go?” Officer Nina Sanchez asked me through my cell bars. She was a gorgeous tiny woman with an olive complexion, black hair and black eyes. I liked to twist her into all kinds of different positions when I fucked her.

Her eyes traveled from my face, down my torso, and landed on my dick. She bit into her thin pink bottom lip.

“That for me, inmate?” She smirked.

It wasn’t, but I remained quiet.

“Open cell twenty,” she yelled out. My cell buzzed seconds later. She stepped back allowing me to step out, then jerked her head in the direction of the laundry room instead of the exit. I followed her. She unlocked the room with her keys and allowed me to enter first. It was pitch black, but I knew the layout by heart. I made my way to the first corner to our left. She followed. I could hear her keys jingle with every step she took.

“I sure am going to miss you,” she said before she dropped to her knees. I rested my head back against the brick wall, closed my eyes and let my mind drift back to Eden and the night I’d made her mine as Maria swallowed my whole dick.

 

 

Eden: It Is Fear That Brings Rage

Present

Ellis lay less than three feet away from me. Lifeless. His body lay slumped over, half-sitting, half-lying on the cold linoleum floor. Surrounding him was an almost dried pool of crimson that left behind a sickly-sweet smell that reminded me of pennies and burnt caramel. A strange mashup of Rainbow’s “Kill the King” and Lizzo's “Heaven Help Me” played on a loop in my head. The lyrics blended, weaving into a chant. It felt weird to have an earworm at a time like that, as scarlet blood oozed down the butcher’s blade in my hand. Thick droplets spattered from it onto the floor, ruining my pristine white kitchen tile. I’d spent an hour on my hands and knees scrubbing it until my back ached and then I’d scrubbed until my hands throbbed. Now, it was ruined. Once again, the monster had ruined something. He ruined everything, I thought, then screamed the words directly at it. “You ruin everything.” And for once the monster didn’t respond back. No growling, no spittle flying, no snarling, no claws coming at my face. his lifeless blue eyes just stared back at me. My hands shook from the urge to want to poke him with the knife a few more times. But that would only make a bigger mess. I hated messes.
