|Serena’s POV|
Night has fallen over the city of New York by the time Gryphon is done making me come undone more times than I could count and at the moment, he has me laying beside him while our knuckles brush against each other and the sound of his rhythmic breathing fills the room as I realise the magnitude of what I have just done.

Gryphon was not soft, he was not gentle, he was brutal and dominating and holds every intention of plucking my feathers just like every man who has ever promised me ruination before, and yet, with him, the difference is that this is the ruination that I desire.
This is the ruination that dissipates the darkness always ready to swallow me whole.
