The FBI is forcing me to part with the man who haunts my dreams. The man who kidnapped, broke and made me his forever. Dante Santiago. My deepest, darkest secret. I may not understand anything about the worst manifestations of his cruelty, about the painful story that drove a heartless criminal to such extremes, but I know exactly what his body feels as it slowly sinks into mine - stretching, conquering, filling. I know every sharp turn, every dark path, every golden plain when he envelops me like a second skin. A man I will never betray. Dante Six months apart. An eternity. I swore an oath to stay away. To keep her safe. Together we erased my past from the face of this earth, but in its place another enemy rose. More deadly, more determined. The one who will stop at nothing to destroy me. Damn this half-life that I am forced to endure without her. If I return, I risk exposing her. But I will lose myself in this darkness if I refuse...
