Ice cold whiskey pours down my hair in freezing rivers as Eli watches me with cold eyes saying "You seem to have a bit of a temper. This should help you cool down or... do we need to take this to the bedroom?"
I shudder at his words and lower my head, trying to keep the alcohol out of my eyes as I shake my head no. He reaches out and grabs my chin in a punishing grip as he lifts my head to look at him. His ice-blue eyes watch me with a cruel light as he says "I wouldn't have to do things like this if you were obedient."
My anger spikes as I stare at the man before me. The man I used to love... the one who I thought loved me too but he turned out to be a twisted monster who gets off on power and control. I let my anger get the best of me and slap his hand away, surprising him and myself at the same time.
