The Skull King

I married him to save someone I loved. Now I've been trapped in this loveless marriage for years. He parades his mistresses right in front of me. Strikes me if I say something he doesn't like. When he's away on one of his business trips, I head to a bar to blow off steam. My intention is to go home alone, but that changes when I see him, the sexiest man ever.

He buys me a drink. Stares at me in a way my husband never has-or any man ever. He doesn't say much, but when he does, it's all the right things. Asks if he can take me home, and I want to scream my answer at the top of my lungs. But I decide to tell him the truth instead. "I'm married." My husband isn't faithful to me, but he's dangerous. Dangerous, as in, he kills people. Lots of people. "And my husband is someone you don't want to cross..."

"I'm not someone you want to cross either." His stare doesn't falter with the information. On his right hand is a diamond ring, carved into a human skull. Built like an ox, he looks like he could be dangerous too. The energy he emits from his strong body is subtly hostile, but not directed at me. "Let's go, sweetheart."

I should say no-but I don't think I can.
