The Dolces broke me, but with perseverance and dedication, Royal has begun to heal me. He nourishes my body and soul, and if I let him, he might just save me. But I’m not sure I can let him. After what he did, how can I let myself love again? But how can I help myself? Royal may be a broken man, even a monster, but he didn’t become that way overnight. He didn’t get there alone. I was part of his destruction, just as he was part of mine. And just as he has moved worlds to help me, I must atone for what I’ve done, too.

When I witness their unhinged, shocking violence firsthand, I know I can’t let them continue to ruin lives the way they’ve done for the past few years.

The Dolces broke me, but it doesn’t matter. They shattered my body and soul, and when they were done, they left me for dead. But it doesn’t matter. I don’t care about anything.

Now, a stranger tends me like the flowers in his garden. He plays with me like a doll he pulled from the trash. He doesn’t want to fix me. He wants to turn me into someone else. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care who I am. So I let him.

She's too young and far too innocent, and I'm not the right kind of man for that. My tastes run toward the dark side. When she shows up at my sex club spoiling for a fight, I'm tempted to give her one ... and a punishment she won't soon forget.

It was supposed to be simple: auction off my virginity to Tennyson Fox, get into his house, and find evidence of a murder he committed years ago. He bids on virgins, but doesn’t use them—at least that’s what the Hamiltons told me when I agreed to the job. But what I didn’t count on was my body’s reaction to him or that when he makes me his, I want it to be real. When he teaches me about submission, I want to give him everything. His whips and restraints make me feel more cared for than anything else ever has. Yet, I’m lying to him. And once he finds out I’m afraid, he’ll send me away forever.
