A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Drawing a sharp breath, he yelled in a husky voice, "Get out of here!"

Startled, she didn't react for a second. Then she wiped her tears and left without a word.

Opening the cold water, he immersed himself under the icy flood for a while until he had calmed down.

He was fully aware of his desire inside.

'Emily, you are just trying to seduce me!

I will never be trapped by you!' he thought.

Wrapping his lean frame in a bathrobe, he left the bathroom. Outside, Emily was sitting blankly on the ground. Her eyes were far off and she seemed to be drowning in her own memories.

He could not help feeling concern for her.

'Emily, you said that you loved me. But you just love what I was in the past, not what I have become.

Now, you can't see me as a different person, ' he thought bitterly.

It was as if he had been weighed and found wanting, and he couldn't help feeling humiliated.

'I am no-one's substitute! I will never be. Not even for my past self, ' his mind sneered.

"Emily, didn't I tell you to get out of here?" he questioned coldly. Walking to her, he took a hold of her collar and pulled her up like a bunny drawn forth for a magic trick.

She did not struggle, instead she stared into his cold eyes unflinchingly and said, "I want to be with you. I just want to be with you..."

He was overwhelmed by a dark impulse to punish her then, to strike out at her and leave her broken like a dying rabbit. He wanted to see her look at him through swollen eyes, reddened from crying or abuse, he wasn't even certain which. Confusion reigned in his heart!

He wanted to punish her, kiss her, perhaps even sleep with her so that she would cry for him only...

He thought that he was the master of his actions, but every time that he saw her, his control suffered a crushing defeat.

It felt like the beast chained in his mind was going to break free at any time.
