the words on the tip of her tongue immediately left her mind when she felt his fingers around her throat. in a sense, it was a wake up call, reminding her that she did not have the upperhand by any means. sure, she had gotten better at protecting herself but that would never take away from the competitive edge he would have over her.
maybe in the beginning she had been afraid of him, but comfort and her feelings ha allowed her to grow past that…. and she had had a bit too much to be pissed about recently which only added fuel to the fire, so to speak. fear shines through her eyes for a few moments, despite her not thinking that he would hurt her for a long time until this moment.
swallowing back the emotions in hopes of pushing this moment to the back of her mind (but certainly not forget about it), jessica nodded her head slightly, her eyes focused to the left of his head. she couldn’t make eye contact – not now.
“if you want to hurt me,” he said, moving his lips towards her ear, and lowering his voice to just a whisper. “you’re going to have to try so much harder than that.” of course, his final word was almost like a challenge in his own way. no, she didn’t hurt him with her words – maybe at one time, but not now. he’d lost far too much of whatever humanity was left for that to happen.
“now,” he let go of her throat, the same hand running through his hair, “i’m in the mood for pizza, beer, and showing you exactly where i grew up.” his final words were a step forward – more so since he was going to give her exactly what she needed to hurt him. so, ky was going to show – as well as tell her – everything. “would you like that?”
