Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Felix's voice broke through the silence, and it was tinged with a hint of disappointment. "Were you expecting someone else, Carol? Sad to see it's just me?" Carol took a step back, but the door behind her was already shut.

She knew that Felix was mad, and not just a little bit.

Frozen in place, she heard him call out, "Hey, Carol, I'm not mad. Chere, will you?" Yet, she stood firm, unwilling to move closer.

Suddenly, he flung the covers aside and strode toward her. His grip was firm on her wrist as he tossed her onto the bed.

Carol's back throbbed from the impact, and as she attempted to rise, she felt his hand clamp around her neck, pinning her down. Being completely immobilized, she looked up at the furious man above her.

"Cough, cough, cough." A cough escaped her lips as she felt his mouth clamp down on hers; then she felt the taste of iron bloom as her lip was bleeding.

Her heart ached, physically, from the pain, yet she couldn't struggle; his grip on her neck was too strong.

After a moment, Felix moved on to her neck, leaving a trail of marks.

Carol felt a strange sensation, as if something wet and cold was trailing down her neck.

With a rough move, Felix grabbed a necktie from the bedside and bound her hands with it; then he flipped her over and entered without warning.
