My Reluctant Plaything
This was the second time.
Micah wasn’t supposed to be here again.
He had told himself that a hundred times, every time he stared at his phone, every time he walked past the building, every time he swore he wasn’t weak enough to crawl back.
But now he was here.
On his knees.
Again.
Roman stood behind him, still in the black coat he always wore like a second skin. He hadn’t said much when Micah showed up, just opened the door, looked him over with those cold, sharp eyes, and walked inside like he’d been expecting him all along.
