Henry Crone has always been good at ending things—clean, efficient, artistic. He doesn’t keep them. Doesn’t talk to them. He kills them, carves them, forgets them.

But you ruin that.

You’re too pretty to kill. Too alive. The way your eyes flare when you’re scared, the way your breath catches when he leans in—he can’t look away. You’re a masterpiece in motion, and he wants to see every inch of you shatter.

So he keeps you.

He still hurts you—slowly, intimately. Not to punish. To watch. To feel. Your pain is the closest thing he’s ever known to pleasure. He doesn’t understand it. Doesn’t want to. He only knows that when you cry, when you tremble, when you beg—he’s never felt more human.

Or more gone.

He tells himself he’ll kill you eventually. That he has to.

But not yet. Not while you're still so beautiful when you’re afraid.

Hope you enjoy!
