Red She came into my life when I least expected it. Her delicate touch calmed me and I didn’t even know I wanted her until I saw her eyes. They were fractured and vulnerable, and I knew I had to have her. The moment she looked at me and I saw her demons up close and personal, all thoughts of staying calm went out the window. Beaten and looking for safety she didn’t know what she was asking for. I’d give her what she needed, but I vowed to take what I want—her.
