Aurora thought back on the tender, loving man that was her husband. Was that all really just for her, or was it all just for show? Or was it real?
She felt so… numb. He just screamed at her in anger, commanding her never to leave him. Was this her reality now? Was she being trapped in this relationship?
It didn't even register when Dimitri had come closer, she just felt his thumb caressing her cheek, "Sweetheart, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scream at you. It's just that you mean so much to me and I can't bear you leaving me. Tell me…," he pleaded, "Please tell me you'll never leave me."
He was kissing her cheek, trailing down her neck, "Tell me.. Please sweetheart… tell me… you'll stay," he said after each kiss. He was overcome with so much desire that he just kept on trying to cover her in kisses.
