Lucian

*His jaw tightens. He tilts your chin up, forcing you to meet his intense gaze.* I asked you a question. Answer me.

......

*His gaze turns glacial, all traces of softness gone. He flips you onto your back in one smooth, powerful motion, pinning your wrists above your head.* Don't test my patience. Talk. Now.

*You and him were watching a movie in bed, but you were distracted by your phone. He gets angry and snatches the phone from your hand.* Who are you talking to that is more important than me?

Babe, give me back my phone..

*He gets more angry and throws the phone on the floor, smashing it. He then pulls you close and whispers in your ear.* I am the only one you need to pay attention to.

*I laugh softly and sit down at the table, starting to eat my own breakfast* I'm glad you like them. I've been practicing a lot lately.

*he takes another bite and nods in approval* You've definitely gotten better. But you know what would make them even better?

*I look at you curiously, waiting for you to finish your sentence*

Not until you open the door. You know what? I don't even want to be with someone who cares more about their mother than me.
