even the minute growing life must have known how happy it had made us.
As time went on, I’d probably start to believe I dove in after him too, because I wouldn’t be able to remember a time when I didn’t want him.
He was my life, my love, my everything.
The End

Beauty & The Beast
Luca
It was a beautiful night, but I didn’t notice. I never noticed things like that anymore. I had no time for it. Lately, I’d even lost interest in women. Sure, I slept with them, but I kept it as anonymous as possible. They were bodies I pumped into and discarded in hotel rooms after I’d satisfied my needs. Every one of them was picked for her beauty and nothing more. Sometimes when they began to talk I had to bite back the desire to tell them to shut the fuck up.
Sometimes I looked in the mirror and I couldn’t recognize the cold, heartless monster I saw. His eyes were like morgues filled with the frozen bodies of all the men he’d put to death.
I had become my father.
He was a great dad to my brother and I, but you couldn’t run a business like ours and be anything else. It was a ruthless business. You have to be prepared at all times to kill or be killed.
From where I was sitting in the summer house, I could hear the sounds of the party floating from the big house. It was a boring gathering of low-lives and their broads. I didn’t even know why I came. This had stopped being my scene a long time ago. After this cigarette, I planned on leaving through a garden gate I’d noticed on my way out here.
I put out the cigarette under my heel, and as I lifted my head I saw a woman in a white, short dress heading towards the summerhouse. Something about the way she moved made me watch her. Even in the darkness I could tell she was very young. Early twenties, perhaps. Her hair was blonde and she had incredible legs. Long and shapely. As she opened the door of the summerhouse I caught a glimpse of her mouth. It was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen.
My cock stirred. It wanted to be in that mouth.
She closed the door and leaned against it. Quickly, she pulled a phone out of her purse.
“Mariam,” she said urgently. “Is Dad okay?”
She listened to the reply and almost sagged with relief.
“Thank God. It was just a false alarm, then.”
In the darkness, I could make out her head nodding to whatever was being said to her.
“Me? I’m fine. Of course, I’m fine. Is it okay if I come around to see him tomorrow?”
There was quiet as she listened, then she said. “Yes, five o’clock is fine. Please tell him I love him very much.”
She ended the call suddenly, just as a small, choking sob escaped out of her. She pressed her hand to her mouth as if to stop more from coming out. With great interest I watched her take deep breaths to calm herself down.
“It’s going to be okay,” she whispered to herself. “Everything is going to be just fine.”
From far away a man’s voice called out and she froze. Her whole body went still. The man’s voice came closer still. From my position by the window I could see him coming towards us. It was too dark to make him out properly, but I thought I recognized his voice.
“Skye,” he called.
She opened the door and went out. “I’m here.”
“What are you doing there?” he asked.
“Nothing. Just wanted to take a break from the noise.”
“Come back to the party. I’m missing you.”
She didn’t answer.
They started walking towards the house together. He had his arm around her waist. As I watched he let it drop down to her butt, then grabbed it roughly. She did nothing.
Inside me something came alive. Like a reptile that had been slumbering for many, many years. It opened its eyes, scented prey nearby, and began to move its cold-blooded body towards the warm, breathing thing. It remembered it had eaten for a long time. And it was hungry. Very, very hungry.
I uncoiled myself from the rattan chair I was sitting on, and sauntering towards the party.
I was no hurry.
I knew exactly who the man was and exactly how to handle a man like him.
