Paper Faces - 21. Sulfur

He is reserved as he leads me up the stairs and down the hall. I feel the tension in his fingertips, the pressure against the small of my back, and I know his control is tenuous.

I wonder what it would take to leave it in shambles like cast off clothing on the floor.

He steps ahead, pushes through a doorway. A rough yank on my wrist pulls me inside; insistent hands press me against the wall.

His smile is so devilish that I smell sulfur and then taste only him.

He is whiskey and chocolate spiced with bad decision.
