PROLOGUE

DAMIEN

I stood at the end of Ah dark, tainted eyes The void inher warmth She moaned, as if she could feel my absence too, even in her sleep I chose to spend the last few ; fro her face, to her pouty, pursed lips swollen from my relentless and insatiable assault Her flushed, naked bare skin only a reminder of how ing heavy in the room only fueled the memories of how many times I’d made her truly mine

Her beauty held me captive

She was glowing

Serene

Fucking breathtaking

The sun slowly started to appear through theEach ray of light fell across her beautiful faceme I didn’t have much time left with her

I needed to go

I had to leave

Finally walk away from the only love I’d ever known

We never stood a chance together Not a ht on by my lips

By my touch

By my love

By the fire inside ofto her

My core seized upall aroundpain I would carry with me for the rest of my life

More guilt

More memories

More Fucking Demons

I was certain about one thing and one thing alone—when I walked out of this roo her love…

Her devotion…

Her innocence and virtue…

With Me

Every story had an ending…

And this was ours

This would destroy her

I Would Destroy Her

In a way, I never thought I

could

I stood there battling the desire to hold her, to tell her I loved her over and over again, and to h I spent the entire night inside her sweet pussy Fucking worshipping her, fully conscious of the fact I was ruining her for every otherso But it wasn’t enough… it would never be enough Nothing between us ever was

“Mivable intentions

I crouched down by her face,in her ear, “Shhh… it’s me, Muñeca I’m here, shhh I’me captive It would be the only dee in

Amira

I slowly opened h on the real reason I ca onto Yuly from the inside of my jacket, I walked to the side of the bed where I’d just been laying and softly set the doll beside her Placing a note on top of Yuly, careful not to wake Aers were caressing the side of her face My hand gravitated toward her like it was being pulled by a force neither one of us would ever understand A force that had always been reater, much more powerful than us

A connection brought on by darkness becaht in my life

Even in her sleep, shesorry, I will always love you, Muñeca Always fucking love you” Touching the end of her nose, I took one last look at her still fraht when I was about to turn and leave, she mumbled back, “Always love you too,” in her sleep

I grihover h oddamn virtue spread on the sheets For better or for worse, it now belonged towith her heart

“Always love you too” Would be the last words she’d ever say to me A constant reminder of ould always be mine

Her

The darkness inour love I so desperately wanted to hold onto

Now, all that was left of us werereels of ies in my head

“Amira, my name is Damien Can you look at me please? I need you to look at me… Can you do that for me?”

“Yuly?” she finally spoke Her eyes welling up with fresh tears, not believing what she was seeing The sight of the s a little piece of as left of her heart

The same heart I’d just broken beyond repair when I was the one who’d put it back together for her to begin with

Next thing I kneas sla the trans the hell out of there I tried to shake offthe“Carol of the Bells” through the speakers Thu ofover fiftysixty, pissed at what I had just done Fucking furious I allowed this to happen again I couldn’t get away fast enough

Not from my mind

My actions

My fucking life…

Amira

“We have to go”

I brought her attention back to h for me to hear

“You letmy hand for her to take

“You pro to hurt me? I’m safe with you? From the monsters…”

For the third tioddamn heart So I simply replied, “You’re safe with me, Muñeca”

She was never fucking safe with me Not one day had she been safe with me

Or… from me
