At some point, Zuri wanted Khaos to hurt her, but at the same time, the way he treated her differently was the reason why she was attracted to him, why she was obsessed with him.
The gentleness of him felt like a sin, something that she shouldn't touch or explore, but she craved it regardless.
Khaos still ran his hand up and down her ribcage, his brows furrowed for some reason that Zuri was not sure, since she was still struggling to urge him to hurt her.
When you grew up with constant presence of pain and fear, these feeling would feel like 'home', because you knew what to expect and how to react to them, yet tenderness was bizarre.
