His Brand of Love — Angelique Voisen

I want him. Need him with an urgency I can't describe. Nick's control is what I crave -- and his ability to send me on my knees and beg. Seeing his marks on my skin, his collar fastened around my neck and heart, I know he's the one. The world says it's wrong for me to love him. That I'm insane and too damaged to make the right decisions.

I once trusted a bad man, a twisted man, who became my entire universe, but he turned my gift against me -- and Nick wears that very man's face. I've past that, so why couldn't Nick?

But enough lies and deception, it's time I end this sorry tale. I'm seven feet from salvation, his and mine, but I can't pull the trigger.
