“Selfish?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Yes. You see, I want you to myself. I want all of you, all for me, forever and ever.”
“Lucas…” My voice was trembling.
“I know you’re scared to need me, Steph. But I’m here telling you that I need you. I love you, Steph. Marry me?”
“Oh Lucas—” My voice broke and I flung my arms around his neck. I pressed my face into his chest as he clasped me close. “Yes.”
“Yes?”
“Yes! Oh, Lucas, yes!”
He beamed as he slid the diamond ring onto my trembling finger. I held it up to the light and it twinkled, reflecting the morning rays everywhere.
I was his now. And to my surprise, I wasn’t scared. I didn’t feel nervous.
It felt
right.
“So,” I said, a joking smile playing across my lips. “What was your backup plan if I said no again?”
“I would have thrown the ring down the garbage disposal.”
“No!”
“Actually, there was a poison in the cupcake, and only I have the antidote. I was going to threaten you with it if you didn’t accept my proposal.”
I was doubled over at the waist laughing, and Lucas planted a dozen kisses on my hip, up my arm, and into the crook of my neck. I laughed and laughed until I was breathless.
“No!” I said, giggles erupting from my chest. “No!”
“No,” Lucas said, resting his chin on one hand and leaning away from me. “If you’d said no, I would have just waited and asked you again and again.”
“Again and again?”
“Until you said yes.”
I looked down at my hand, the unfamiliar diamond weighting down my finger, then back up at Lucas. A warm feeling swept through me. For once, it was okay to need someone. It wasn’t just me holding everyone up now. Now, I had Lucas, and we would hold each other up.
Lucas’s dark eyelashes framed his light eyes. And looking at him, I knew that I had made the right choice. I had never truly been happy before, because I had never let anyone in. I opened my arms and let out the words I’d been aching to say.
“I love you, too, Mr. Black.”

People wear masks. I cut them off.
She doesn’t know it, but she’s already mine.
They all are.
They cry. They scream. They beg for their lives.
Truth of it is, they’re all wearing masks. Even me.
I’m just the only one who’s not afraid to look at what lies underneath.

For more dark romance grab a copy of my first novel, His today!
I never meant to be here: tied up in bed next to a serial killer.
When I followed him home, I was just playing Nancy Drew. Trying to find out his secret. His kiss was intoxicating, and I thought he was harmless.
I was wrong.
Nancy Drew never ended up in a basement, handcuffed to a radiator, teased to the edge of insanity, begging to be let go.
Soon, I stopped begging to be let go.
Soon, I started begging to be
HIS.
