Persephone was a tiny thing in the center of the massive bed. Her dark hair was spread out on the white pillowcase beneath her, and her scent… drove me fucking insane.

Sweet. Tempting. Potent.

It was all the things that could drive a man to his knees. A weaker man, that was.

I walked into her room and stopped beside her bed. The small rise and fall of her chest was almost mesmerizing, and a sense of almost calm settled over me.

I felt nothing like it before. I wouldn’t call it peace because a man like me would never know such things, but it was definitely something I shouldn’t crave.

I reached out before I could stop myself and brushed a strand of her hair away from her cheek. She stirred slightly but otherwise slept.

The glow of the moonlight came through a small part in the curtains, and her skin almost glowed, looking luminescent.

She was too beautiful for the ugly likes of me. She was flawless, whereas I had scarred and tattooed skin. She was pure, and I was the fucking devil himself.

Little Persephone, so fragile and breakable. I could destroy her so easily. She’d never stand a chance.

I let myself touch her buttery, soft skin, and when a soft sigh spilled from those plush, pink lips, an indistinct sound rose in my throat.

I was a bastard for the obscene things running through my mind. Images of pulling the duvet back, ripping her nightgown off, and feasting on her ran through my mind.

I could picture wrenching open her thighs and sucking on that virgin cunt, lapping at her as she tried to push me away, but still ground that perfect pussy against my mouth.

God, I’d ruin her, make her bleed, have her scratches on my back as she clung to me and cried out. She’d beg me to stop, but I wouldn’t because I knew she truly didn’t want me to. She’d plead with me to go harder, to be rougher.

And I would. Jesus Christ, I’d be so savage with her that no other experience in her life would compare.

Maybe it was the egotistical side of me, or maybe it was something else, a tendril of dark obsession.

Because the thought of anyone else sampling her, touching her, even looking in her fucking direction, had this unusual rage boiling within my gut.

I ripped my hand away from her and moved several steps back, not liking the way she made me feel, not liking that the very sight and thought of her was fucking with my head.

It should be the other way around. I should be the one messing with her.

I felt my anger and irritation grow that this tiny woman, far too young for me, could have this kind of effect on a man like me.

I took a left, going down the dark hallways toward the east wing, a part of the house that I purposely blocked off.

Only two staff members were allowed on this side of the house, ones who rotated duties to keep everything clean… to look after the one person whom I wanted to live for fucking ever. Just so I could watch him suffer.

And only so that I could torment him the way he’d done to me.

When I stopped in front of the door, I placed my palm on it, the wood cold, silence coming from the other side.

My blood rushed as I gripped the handle and turned it, pushing the door open and stepping inside.

I knew where he was instantly. The fucker couldn’t move by himself.

He lay in the center of his bed, the sound of his labored breathing echoing off the walls.

I moved farther into the room until I could smell the antiseptic that surrounded him, a scent that clung to everything.

Even though my hatred for him ran deep, I made sure he had the best care money could buy with state-of-the-art medical equipment keeping his decrepit form alive. And it was because, if I could, I would’ve made sure the bastard lived until I took my last breath. I’d make sure he suffered for as long as possible.

I turned to reach for the chair beside the bed, dragging it across the floor so the legs scraped against the wood. It was loud, jarring, and he blinked open his eyes and turned his head to look at me.

My father by legalities only. Michael Cronus.

He made a deep sound in his chest, the wheezing growing louder as it drowned out the sound of the oxygen coming out of the tube.

I sat down, leaned back, and rested my arms on either side of me, staring at Michael and letting him see how much he relied on me for literally his next breath.

He made another rough sound, unable to speak anymore, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t want to hear what he had to say.
