I’m staring out the window at the sunrise, watching the sky split into gorgeous pink and golden hues as the Spanish countryside below is bathed in morning light. The trees are awash in pale illumination, the distant hills painted greenish gray at this early hour. I’ve been having trouble sleeping, which is not particularly surprising given the bizarreness of my surroundings, and so my body has been rousing like clockwork at the first rays of dawn.

At home, I slept with an expensive, opaque curtain hanging over my bay window so that the sunrise wouldn’t wake me up before my alarm. But here, I don’t even have a proper windowpane, much less a curtain to block out the light. Still, the air is clear and fresh, with just a trace of a balmy sea breeze from the Mediterranean pulsing just on the other side of the vast forest. Under normal circumstances, the scene would undoubtedly be Instagram-worthy, a location to feature on postcards home. Sometimes, when my mind wanders beyond the panic of my current predicament, I can zone myself out just enough to appreciate the beauty of the world outside my window.

But this morning, all I can think about is Darios.

The feeling of his hands coursing down my body, his fingertips grazing down every shivering inch of flesh with a possessive kind of greed. The sensation of his sensuous lips pressed against mine while he growls between kisses that I am his, that I belong to him. His fingers tangling in my long blonde hair and tugging me backward, forward, side to side like I’m merely a limp doll under his control. He handles my body like it’s his most precious, practiced tool. Darios is powerful and menacing, a true force of nature — yet, in certain quiet moments I can almost feel a growing softness suspended between us. The fire in his eyes tames to a tender warmth rather than a raging inferno, and for a split second I wonder if maybe he could truly see something in me I haven’t seen in years.

Like he might be looking deep inside me, reaching into my soul to withdraw a version of myself I haven’t given breath to in ages. Like he sees the real me, buried under what feels like an eternity of make believe. How could it be that this hulking, untamed weapon of a man can strip me down so easily?

I swallow hard, my hands uncontrollably clutching at the ancient, wooden window sill as I stare out over the awakening land. I rest my forehead against the worn wall and close my eyes, only to realize that Darios’s image is still fresh in my mind, that beautiful and cruel face gazing back at me even in the dark depths of my own thoughts.

I can’t escape him even when I dream at night, fitfully tossing and turning in my stark white sheets still faintly stained with his seed. Last night I dreamed that we were tangled up together, wrapped
