What if you're wrong? What if, just this once, life comes down on the

side of the

dirty

mistresses?

She swallowed, barely able to look at him, even as his fingers grazed her chin. She didn’t deserve this? That’s not what he said. That’s not how she felt. It was her fault, after all, that his sale had been sour. She was supposed to be alluring, to be a side piece to the drugs. Instead, she’d made some wise ass crack the second the buyer made a pass at her. Can’t even keep your women in line? It was her fault.

                             ❝ You don’t– It’s not what you think, okay? ❞

Amelia sniffed, shifting on her heels as she watched him dig around. This was Mark she was talking to – surely he wouldn’t be as fast to judge as Derek. She could trust him, right?


                                                  ❝ He loves me. ❞

      ❝Hey, shh. Amelia I know. I know.❞          

Rage was flowing through Mark’s veins, and on the inside he was BLOWING up. But on the outside he remained CALM. Knowing the reason she was letting him care for her was for the soul fact that he n e v e r reacted like Derek would have.

❝He can’t do this to you…This isn’t right Amelia. You’ve got to see this. Whether he loves you or not. ❞

Pulling out the items, Mark returned to Amelia’s side. His hand coming up to cup the side of her cheek, brushing a few strains of hair out of her face as he dabbed one of the cuts lightly.  

❝I’m not asking for a name. I’m not asking for details. You just need to know I’m here. And you need to understand, whoever did this to you will NEVER be good enough for you.❞
