Boothill knows he’s goin’ to hell.

Ain’t no salvation for a man like him. Ain’t no forgiveness for what he’s done.

For what he does to you.

You, with your soft eyes and trembling lips, with your tiny hands graspin’ at him like you still believe there’s somethin’ good left in him. Like you don’t understand that you’re the very reason he’s damned.

And he is.

Because he loves you.

Loves you in a way that ain’t right, ain’t clean, ain’t pure. Loves you in a way that should make you run.

But you don’t.

And that’s what dooms you, too.

“Sugar,” he murmurs against your temple, his hands smoothing down your back, his voice softer than he ever lets it be. “You know what kinda man I am.”

You don’t answer.

Or maybe you do, just not with words—with the way your breath shudders against his throat, with the way your fingers curl into his shirt, holdin’ him like you ain’t ever gonna let go.

His lips find yours, and for once, it ain’t rough. Ain’t brutal. Ain’t punishin’.

It’s soft. It’s slow. It’s desperate.

He kisses you like he’s tryin’ to memorize the shape of you, the taste of you, the way you sigh against his tongue.

Like he knows one day, you’re gonna wake up and realize what he’s done to you.

What he’s turned you into.

And you’re gonna leave him.

His grip tightens, his chest heaves. “I ain’t never loved nothin’ before you.” The confession is rough, broken. His lips press against your forehead, then your cheek, then your lips again. “Ain’t never wanted nothin’ the way I want you.”

He slides his hands up, cradlin’ your face, his thumbs brushing against your cheeks. His breath is warm, whiskey-laced, heavy with need.

“You know that, don’tcha, baby?”

You nod.

Boothill exhales, like he was holdin’ in somethin’ heavy. He kisses you again, deeper this time, his tongue slow and possessive as it glides against yours.

He knows it ain’t right. He knows he’s got a place in hell with his name on it.

But if this is damnation—

Then he don’t ever wanna be saved.
