So what happens when Sebastian crosses it? Can mistakes really be forgiven or will he drown in the misery of his actions and kill her in the process? [He walked, strolling confidently across the room, looking at me as if I was a piece of meat. I knew that look well, too well. I could feel his breath on my neck.

He leaned down to my ear and whispered, "Take off your clothes."] Warning: This story contains DARK THEMES. Read at your own risk.
