HIS TO CONQUER
It was old, but the pain it must have caused was evident.
"It must have hurt," I murmured, my fingers tracing the raised edges of the scar.
His body tensed, a flicker of fear in his eyes. I just felt like I could connect with him so much after seeing this. His scar was physical, but my own scars, though invisible, ran just as deep. I bent my head, pressing a soft kiss against the scarred flesh, a silent apology for the pain he had endured.
