Nothing in my life is the same. She has changed everything, simultaneously turning my world upside down while making it right for the first time ever.

I break this woman a little more each day—and she lets me. It's all part of our deal. But every pleasure that she gives to me brings her closer to freedom. Closer to paying her debt in full. And I'm not ready to let her go.

Ruthless. That's what she calls me. It's true. I am a man who will do whatever it takes to get what I want.

And what I want is her.

I could go back on our deal. Force her to stay, risk her hating me forever. Or I could let her go because for once in my life I care about someone else's happiness more than I do my own.

She is my joy.
She is my pain.
She is my submissive.
