His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

The way she looked at him really got under his skin.

Without thinking much, he leaned in and kissed her.

She accepted his turbulent kiss, unresponsive and lifeless.

When she didn't kiss him back, he forced her to.

Prying her teeth apart, he bit down on the tip of her tongue.

Eliza raised her hand and slapped him, her expression calm as she wiped the blood from her lips with a delicate touch.

She stayed silent, her eyes icy.

The slap knocked the wind out of Casper's anger.

Leaning back against the car seat, he let out a self-deprecating laugh, not entirely sure what he found funny.

"Eliza, tell me, which woman in Falconridge would dare to hit me? How many times have you slapped me?" His voice was laced with an emotion too complex to pin down. "You can hit me back," she said nonchalantly.

He chuckled. Did she really think he wouldn't dare hit her, or was he just too soft to do it?

The car fell silent again, with only the hum of the air conditioning filling the space.

They pulled into the Welton Estate.
