An eerie silence.
I turn my gaze to her and what I see in her eyes fills me with hope.
Freedom.
SUKI
It is over. Truly over.
As I look at his limp, lifeless, butchered body strapped to the metal cross, I cannot help but be thankful, as disturbing as that sounds. The moment he found me online set off a chain of events that brought me to this place, brought me true freedom to indulge, not only in my filthy desires, but in my bloody ones as well. A chain of events that brought me back to the man that became my monster all those years ago.
I turn to Niklas and his greedy eyes on me unleash a storm inside my body. A split second is all it takes for me to jump into his arms, wrap my legs around his waist, my hands fisting in his dirty blond hair stained with the blood of our enemy, my lips crashing on his with a force that threatens to bruise us both.
We kiss for what feels like hours, my lips sore from the harshness of his beard and when I break away and breathe in the air he breaths out, sinking into the dark ocean of his eyes, I finally understand what this feeling truly is. I feel alive. For the first time in an awfully long time, if not ever, I feel truly and utterly alive. In movies, this moment right here would be the conclusion at the end of it. The resolution. For me though, this feels like the beginning. This is the moment of rebirth, of acceptance. The start of an unholy union, a decadent destruction of everything that held us back.
“You are mine, Miss Knoxx.” Niklas breaks the silence. “You belong to me forever, and I will imprint on your heart, like a branding iron burning myself in it, and it will be the end of you. There will be no running anymore.” The intensity of his gaze imprints on my soul, sending shivers through my spine.
“You demand my body, you demand my soul, you demand my heart. That hardly seems fair, Mr. Bergman. I will carry you forever, burnished on my heart while you walk free.”
“Free? That’s where you are mistaken, little siren. You failed miserably. Failed to see how you crawled into my soul the day your broken gaze found mine on the floor of my house. Your demons grabbed me by the throat, demanded my devotion and I fought it… oh, how I fought it thinking it’s not my nature.” He squeezes my body tight and I sink into the way it feels. “I was yours long before you became mine, you just failed to see it.”
I did fail to see it. More than that, I rejected it, blinded by the haze that made me believe that even my instincts were playing tricks on me.
Not anymore.
My bloody fingers leave strokes of crimson on his cheeks as my hands cup his face and I know… he is already imprinted on my heart, already burnished in it so deeply that the scars healed over it, making him part of me. I am home, finally home.
“You are mine,” I whisper. “Until the day we die, you are mine and I am yours.”
“Even in death, Suki.”
I smile.
“Even in death.”
My kind of monster…
