The story

"Would you have killed that young boy!? Over a fucking purse!?"I shot back. It was a stupid temerity but I was willing to take the risk.

"I would do whatever it takes to show that I call the shots"He menacingly replied.

"Even with you"His voice dropped to a dangerously low tone.

"Now you are just acting like a possessive and dominating freak"I replied with a roll of my eyes and a hiss.

In a fluid motion, he quickly grasped my braids, dragging it. My eyes widened and I held on to his arm, wincing.

"That's because I am. I own you. You belong to me. I'll always be the one you lust for and crave for. And if you try to act otherwise, I'll make sure I make you submit to me whether you like it or you don't"Raphael huskily replied, dragging my braids more.

His words felt so sensual and yet so dangerous. I became weak in the knees and my breathing became rapid in pace.

"And what if I don't want to submit to your orders, what will you do huh?"I taunted him.

"Will you kill me? Shoot me? Stab me huh? Mr Raphael!?"

I knew if I were to be someone else, I would have been dead by now. Raphael looked like he was seconds away from hitting me but I knew there was no way he would do that.

"I won't kill you"came his raspy reply with his voice turning malicious, laced with cruelty. He pressed his body against mine and his hands fisted in my braids curling against my scalp. Shit. It was becoming extremely painful.

"I'll punish you"

In the blink of an eye, I felt his lips pressed forcely against mine. My eyes widened at once.
