Her fingernails rake red lines into my forearm, but I don’t feel them any more deeply than a tiny kitten’s claws. She’s every bit as fragile as I’ve always said.
My breakable pet.
My little dove.
Her tears stream over my hand where it covers her mouth, and unlike her painless scratches, the tears scald me. I grit my teeth and force myself to maintain my ruthless hold on her delicate body.
She softens in my arms, and I catch her sagging, unconscious weight. I cradle her close to my chest and brush a kiss over her motionless lips.
“I’ll keep you safe, Abigail,” I swear. “I will do anything to protect you.”
I will do anything to keep her for myself.
She said she loves me.
She’ll say it again. She doesn’t have a choice.
Abigail is mine: body, heart, and soul.
