The Beta Girl

"I can't believe you're saying this, dammit. You don't understand, I was pretending just to hurt you back!" His hands fell away, his gentle gaze replaced by distance. "Alright, if that's what you choose. No one will stop you from leaving, but first...grant me one final request, your last punishment. It must balance the scales." Swallowing hard, his voice laced with emotion, he urged, "Say it. What do you want?" Moving stealthily behind her, he gently brushed her hair aside, revealing the mark he left on her neck. With a cold, deadly tone, he spoke, "I want one last intimate encounter, my dear wife." She answered without hesitation, "Very well." Though she had succeeded in breaking his heart, she knew he wouldn't let her go easily. He wanted her to beg, and she would ensure she never escaped his grasp.
