They both carried a million cracks beneath the skin. Even under the stark light of the fluorescents, it was hard to see which of them was more broken. But for the first time, she felt like she had to vanquish her mental illness not for herself but for someone else.

She had no idea the power she held over him, didnβt know how dry his mouth had gone or that his insides heated to a fevered level of dizziness. Nothing or no one had ever affected him the way she did. She was it for him, his past and future, his weakness and strength, his meaning for everything.

Keeping his distance from her for the past four years had nurtured vicious cravings inside him, warping his tastes into an almighty need for painful, destructive sex. He was going to fuck her until they were both annihilated. Until their broken pieces scattered in an unholy tangled mess.

Any man can chain you to a post.β He buckled the leather collar around her neck, securing it with a four-digit padlock.

Thatβs rough, gritty sex. But it isnβt dominance.β Her heart stuttered. Heβd described her experience with Van so accurately. He glided a finger across the line of her jaw, tilting her face upward. βDominance is when I kiss your brow and you obediently lower to the floor. Willingly. No hesitation.β His eyes flashed. βItβs when you kneel for me, give me the power to break you inside and out, and trust that I wonβt.

I'm sorry"
Whatever she heard in his voice, perhaps the reedy vulnerability in his otherwise controlled tone, brought her hands out from beneath him to grip his jaw and guide his face into light.
She stared up at him for a long, terrifying moment, her eyes searching, her lips rolling together. Then her fingers moved to his temples, combing through the hair over his ears, tenderly, lovingly, in a way he didn't deserve. Her gaze didn't waver from his as she swallowed. "I will never forget. But maybe someday, I might be able to forgive.
