not me literally vacuuming while listening to my mafia smut hahahaha I swear it made the task go faster

I don’t speak to him for two days. I can’t. I’m too angry.
I’m not sure which one of us I’m more angry with, however, him or me.

“I have to go to work today.” He pauses. “I’ll be back late.”
I suspect there’s more he wants to say. The pause felt significant. I wait, my heartbeat going even faster.
After a while, he speaks again. This time, his tone has changed. It’s grown dark. “Don’t try to run away.”
I whisper, “I won’t.”
“You should.”
“Why?”
“You know why.”

When I wake up in the morning, Mal is sleeping on his side next to me in bed, his arm under my neck, a leg thrown over both of mine, his big warm hand splayed over my belly.
Right over my scar.

He slept next to her instead of in the chair.

Malek has a giant pet crow named Poe

Riley asks Malek about his tattoos

Riley explains her tattoos to Malek

Hehe 69 lol but damn not her falling for her kidnapper & then not even asking to go home RIPP it’s bugging tf out of me that she’s not thinking about her fam worrying she could literally be DED

I fall asleep with my silent assassin caretaker watching over me, keeping me safe.
This time when I dream of gunfire, he’s there to protect me with a shield and a flaming sword.
