Alpha Dom and His Human Surrogate

Chapter 123 – Rogue Attacks

After Ella shared her story with me, we spent a long time just kissing and cuddling, talking through our feelings and reaffirming our love. Still, Ella wasn’t entirely soothed. I could tell she was still beating herself up about her panic attack, no matter how many times I promised her it was all right.

“I just want to be able to give you what you need.” Ella moans after a while, sounding as miserable as ever.

“I don’t need to tie you up, baby.” I promise, wondering if I’ll ever be able to convince her that she’s enough for me – exactly as she is. “There are plenty of other things we can do.”

“But the idea of being tied up with you doesn’t frighten me.” Ella confesses, surprising me. “I think it was just the way you asked. Because it wasn’t about you and me, it was about what had been done to me in the past.”

I frown, unsure if she’s being completely forthright. “That’s possible.” I agree. “But the chances are that if the question was that upsetting, feeling it would be worse.”

“Not if I know it’s coming, and not if I’m handcuffed or something. The straps on a medical table are different.” Ella argues. “I’m not saying I want to try it right this second or when you’re really stressed. It would probably be better when things are calmer so that if I do panic it doesn’t ruin everything, but I think I would like to try sometime.”

“You really don’t have to, Ella.” I assure her. “Not for my sake. It should be fun for both of us, not something you have to endure.”

knows I’d do anything to help her, and it would certainly be clever to turn the tables on me this way. However when I look into her shining eyes, I see only sincerity. “Okay, one day when things are calmer, we can try.” I decide, running my hands over her slick skin. “But if you give me reason to think you’re just humoring me,

Send them to the most vulnerable outposts first, and make sure everyone is fully briefed. Deploy the warning sirens and release a bulletin to all the media outlets in the city, order an immediate lockdown and roll out the emergency helpline for anyone who sights or encounters rogue aggressors. Tell them to issue reminders on shelter locations, and set closing times for two hours from now. Have the hospitals initiate their own emergency protocols and put out a
