TW: age gap
-Inspired by "Unpunishable" by Ethel Cain-

i whisper over and over, i'm not afraid of you / curled up with my knees to my chest in the striped bedsheets / gibson's eyes are the color of cocoa beans / curls of smoke wreathe my head / when he looms over me / made of sinewy muscle and veins / "you should be," he says. 

Genie is a seventeen-year-old homeschooled girl struggling against sexual repression in a deeply religious household...until the first time she locks eyes with Gibson, an older man with a secretive past, bad habits, and specific tastes. Haunting and poetic, "The Next Thing I Know" is the story of a girl torn between pulling herself free of her own destruction and giving into her darker desires.

Join them in ups and downs of their relation. ********************************************* I trembled, my voice barely a whisper as I pleaded, "Can I please wear something underneath it? The slit is too high to cover anything." He turned me around, his eyes glinting with mischief. As he knelt down, he spread my legs wide, pushing the lower part of the gown aside. His tongue darted out, laving at my clit, still damp from our earlier encounter. I arched my back, my body convulsing as he devoured me. I clutched the chair, my moans echoing through the room. He intensified his assault, sucking me dry. "Adam... I'm close," I gasped, my voice thick with desire. He paused, his eyes locking onto mine. "The slit is for my convenience," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "So I can play with you whenever I want. No, you can't wear anything that will come between us." ***************************************** Contains mature scenes, abusive language, abuse and dominance of the male lead and his obsession over his love. Please do not go ahead if you do not like reading R rated. You have been warned.

"You know what I hate hm" she doesn't respond "I don't like repeating myself," I say as I squeeze her neck a little tighter not enough to cause pain not that I think she would mind. Something tells me that this vixen likes a little pain. "No sir" she tried to say but it comes out as a soft moan. What I'd pay to hear that every day. "I hate being ignored Arabelle" she visibly gulps "I wasn't I wasn't ignoring you" I chuckle humorlessly release her neck and go sit in my chair. "Over my knee Now!" she looks stunned but doesn't move. "I already told you I don't like repeating myself"
