TESSA

My head is still swimming when Blaze shifts behind me, the iron band of his arm tightening across my ribs.

My body’s already trembling, every muscle aching from the rough rhythm he’s kept for what feels like hours, but he’s nowhere near done.

He catches both my wrists, dragging them down and pinning them behind my back.

He holds them there easily like a manacle. The strain in my shoulders forces my chest forward, leaving me completely open, completely his.

He breathes in slow and deep, pressing his face into my hair, and then his free hand slides down my front.

It doesn’t soothe—it grips. Hard. Claiming. He drags his thumb drags across my nipple, the pinch making me jolt before his hand leaves entirely to curl around my throat.

The pressure comes slowly at first, almost teasing, but it builds, cutting down each breath until my lungs fight for more.

My pulse pounds against his palm, each beat louder than the muffled sounds of his movements.

I can’t decide if I’m panicking or floa

    TESSAI take the food package, open it carefully and start eating the bread as quickly as possible because I'm starving.The dry bread scratches my throat as I swallow, but I don't care. When I finish every crumb, I drink some of the water, but not too much. I can't afford to need the bathroom constantly.I need to conserve what little I have, knowing it will be my only sustenance for the next twenty-four hours.Tears fill my eyes and stream down my cheeks. I have no hope left.My journey through this world of constant pain speeds up, as I struggle continuously just to breathe. Excruciating pain gnaws at my lungs as I try to do something as simple as taking in oxygen.Every single coughing fit feels like a hammer pounding on my body, with every contraction of my abdominal muscles triggering sharp, stabbing pain.My rescue medication gives me brief moments of relative calm by opening my blocked airways temporarily. However, the constant exposure to this brutal cold feel like a sword sl

    TESSAThe kiss starts gentle but quickly turns violent.I try desperately to get air, but the intensity only increases.Tears stream down my face. The weight of this moment presses down on me, making everything feel impossible.I close my eyes, trying to push through these agonizing moments. Time needs to move faster. I'm waiting for some merciful end to come and lift this crushing burden from me.Sharp pain squeezes at my chest. I can barely breathe.Blaze's hands move without mercy, crushing what's left of my already broken body.I'm too inexperienced for whatever twisted thing he wants from me.He suddenly sweeps me up and throws me violently to the hard floor."Damn it! You still don't know how to please me. After everything I've given you, you're still just some clueless fool." His voice drops lower, colder. "I should find another woman. One who'd actually know what she's doing since you're completely useless."Those harsh words slice through me. I feel genuine discomfort with his

    TESSAFootsteps move steadily towards me then the sound of a cigarette being lit.I feel the sharp smell of nicotine hitting my sensitive senses and filling the room with its toxicity.It makes breathing even harder than it already is.My asthma immediately starts flaring, and I fight to keep my breathing steady and quiet.The last thing I want is to draw attention to my weakness, to give him another weapon to use against me.My internal battle with persistent coughing continues relentlessly as I try desperately to stay calm and quiet, but the coughing fits deny all attempts and break out uncontrollably.Each cough sends spasms of pain through my bruised ribs, and my stomach aches from the violent shock.I press my hand to my chest, trying to muffle the sound, but it's useless. There's nothing I can do to stop it.I desperately want to speak up but I remember the hard-learned lesson of staying completely silent, which forces me to watch and obey whatever comes next.Finally, Blaze thr

    TESSAA powerful wave of nausea hits me with devastating force.I lose all control and vomit violently, my whole body trembling as the last drops of stomach acid come up.The taste is bitter and acidic, mixing with the blood in my mouth to create a cocktail of misery.With tremendous difficulty, I pull myself across the floor and drag my broken body to the corner of the room, where I grab the inhaler.My hands shake so badly I can barely operate it, but I manage to spray the medication down my throat.The relief is minimal, but it's enough to keep me breathing.I curl up and freeze exactly like a statue, not knowing what to do next, not even able to think clearly. My mind feels fractured, unable to process the full scope of what just happened.That haunting classical music keeps playing through the hidden speakers, and if I hated it before, now I find it to be the perfect complement to my complete misery.Blaze has always prided himself on his refined tastes, his appreciation for cult

    TESSABlaze rises above me with overwhelming force, blocking out what little light filters into this hell and more slaps rain down on my face mercilessly.My screams echo through the night, but the louder I cry out, the more intense his violence becomes.The sound seems to fuel his rage rather than satisfy it.My pain reaches its absolute peak, and when I feel I can't absorb any more punishment, he stops for one terrifying moment, like he's savoring a temporary break.Then he starts unfastening his pants with deliberate slowness, and I simply don't have the strength left to resist him.My body has gone limp from shock and exhaustion, every muscle screaming in protest. This is the moment I feared most, the inevitable conclusion to his twisted reunion fantasy."Let me see what I've been missing for an entire year!" His cold words are exactly like a knife stabbing directly into my heart.The casual way he speaks, like I'm an object he's been temporarily deprived of, makes bile rise in my

    TESSAMy eyelids flutter repeatedly as my mind struggles to fully process what Blaze’s asking.The possessiveness that's always been present in our relationship remains unchanged, but for the first time, I sense a genuine insecurity coming from him. He has real doubts about whether someone else has been with me during my absence.While I could feel some satisfaction knowing I have this small advantage over him, I focus instead on making sure he understands that I've been completely alone."No, there wasn't anyone," my voice comes out choked and barely audible."Not even that pathetic Ramon.""No!" I say as firmly as I can manage."But he wanted to have a relationship with you."I realize immediately this isn't actually a question at all, but rather a statement of fact he's already confirmed somehow."There was no one but you, Blaze. I swear it!"His facial features change before my eyes in the most surprising way. A strange energy seems to radiate from him as he stands up slowly and b
