Troy I had never been in love. Not really. I’d said the words to a few women in my lifetime, but I’d never felt anything as deeply as I felt with Blyss. The pain that was masked behind that beautiful face was deep and ugly. And it needed to be released. The whip had brought out more in her than I had ever intended it to. It was shocking to me, and I had seen things that would make most men cry. Watching Blyss come undone was the single most heart-wrenching thing I’d ever witnessed. If I were to stay with her, I’d have to not only witness that again, I’d have to induce it. Cuddling her that night, after her first b**m encounter, I found her body going into a much more relaxed state than it had in the previous three weeks. She even snored a little as she slept, and I watched over her. Eve
