- Damon White:
+ Day One;
After kissing Nikolai, I headed upstairs to take a shower, feeling an unfamiliar warmth settle in my chest.
This wasn't the same kind of thrill a person would get from the hunt or from dominating their enemies.
It was… softer, like a slow-burning fire that pulsed under my skin, heating every muscle, every vein.
I wanted to savor the feeling, let it wash over me completely.
Water streamed down my shoulders, and I closed my eyes, letting my thoughts drift to the way Nikolai had looked at me.
For the first time after finding out my twisted truth, he'd met my gaze without that layer of fear, without resistance.
'He finally understood' I thought to myself.
Finally, he had accepted the twisted, possessive way I loved him. No more fighting. No more games. Just us.
I took my time under the showerhead, letting the steam wrap around me, feeling the water rinse away every trace of the day.
