***
I sit quietly in the car. Christian drives. I don’t know what came over me back at the house. Why did I kiss him voluntarily like a lover? Like we had some sort of history. I guess, in a sense, we do have a history; he’s familiar in an odd sort of way.
He is the cornerstone of a defining life moment for me, and part of a secret I always kept from my family. I don’t know how or why no one saw signs of a break in. I was thirteen and too young to think in those terms after being so scared. He’s haunted my dreams almost every time I’ve closed my eyes. His mercy and the unexpected safety I found in him that night, and the fear... no... knowledge, that this wasn’t over have followed me everywhere. It has been the impossibly long shadow that has hovered over me.
Now that he’s here, he’s completed this cycle, this thing I was waiting for without knowing it. And so in some dark corner of my heart, everything is as it should be, and everything feels calm inside me again. Finally I can stop waiting for him to jump out of the shadows and snatch me away.
I recognize this as the primal shadow side of me I would never acknowledge before I was forced to. It’s not the part of me that loves my family and friends and has ambition and dreams. It’s the hedonistic and animal side that craves pleasure, even if the cost is pain and fear.
Christian’s hand drifts to my knee, the heavy weight of his palm the same as it was on my shoulder that night six years ago. That feeling was and still is so comforting in the most fucked-up way. Somehow it feels like everything in my life has led me to this moment, even before the first time I met him.
My emotions run hot and cold, from desire to terror, from the desperate need to survive at any cost to the urge to end it now before it gets too scary. I feel as if I’m in a dream; I could wake at any moment, which gives me the courage to go down the dark path and explore to find out what’s at the end.
This sense of unreality has attached itself to me at various points in my life, but right now it’s the strongest it’s ever been. I’m convinced this is all a dream, that I’ll wake up. It’s the thing that makes me spread my legs a little, inviting him in. Christian smirks, and his hand travels up my thigh. Even through the tight leather pants, I feel that spark, the way he makes me light up. I wonder if it was like this for every woman he’s taken. I wonder if Christian feels the spark, too, or if this power only flows one way.
“Undo your pants.” The command is deep and throaty, almost a snarl. I will never forget what he is, not if I live a thousand years.
