You treat women like trophies, elegant things to hold and throw away after use. Your arrogance to them is unbearable. I can't help but feel there's a darkness behind your eyes, that stupid hair slicked with gel that's probably worth more than my rent, your tongue is like a double-edged knife, and your wicked smile could melt steel. Someday, I will be your undoing, you will beg for my touch, and every kiss will be as empty as your heart, leaving you desperate and unfulfilled, until every thought leads back to one person. Me. Yours Wickedly, Sierra.

"Would you still take me to your bed if I wasn't a Spinelli?" The silence that followed was deafening, and I knew I had my answer.
