You tell me. Tiana had always known how to stay small. How to hide. How to be quiet. The kind of girl no one noticed but Austin did. And once he saw her, he didn’t let go. He chased. He hunted. He claimed. With a collar and leash. With rules. With hands that bruise and cradle all at once. What begins as control becomes something darker. Deeper. A need that coils under her skin. She tells herself she can leave. She just doesn’t want to. Because his voice starts to feel like safety. His touch feels like truth. And somewhere between obedience and obsession… she stopped being afraid of the monster. She started craving him.
