Valentina-Rosa young and innocent first understood the true trials and consequences of love when she met Carson Dean; though he too was young he was nowhere near innocent. Carson is a man not short of sins but he was the first man Valentina-Rosa had ever been with and so no matter what he put her through she would stick beside him because to her everything he did was an act of love. That was until one summer due to certain unfortunate events Carson had to move to the other side of the County to finish his two years of university, after spending her third year in her hometown she followed him across the county. There she saw Carson for who he truly was: a monster. She struggled her way through a world for pain, abuse, and drugs; she encountered a mistress who was probably in a worse situation than she was and she came to realize that Carson was an even worse person than she had thought him to be. But the move did her as much good as it did her harm; she made friends there, friends she will have forever and from that friend group, she met an intriguing French man. Love, at first sight, blossomed into friendship and friendship transformed itself into a beautiful relationship. But love, at first sight, was not able to save her from the fate that awaited her, but only love will be able to save her from the Trials and Consequences of Love.

His body was as powerful and sexual as I remembered it, he had gotten another tattoo on his shoulder since the last time, a few more scars then I remembered on his chest. His back rippled with muscles as he pulled on a fresh white shirt, my eyes transfixed as he took his time buttoning it up. Somehow it was almost more of a turn on watching him put on his clothes than him taking them off, almost. He wiped the blood off his hands with a kitchen apron in a slow steady motion and I pressed myself back against the wall when his eyes focused on me. My eyes flittered to the back door and I battled with myself on whether or not I could make it before he caught me, I couldn't. He tossed the apron over an empty sink and stalked towards me slowly, a predator in every sense of the word and my eyes drifted to the bloody mess of a man on the kitchen floor, was that going to be me in a second? He stopped just in front of me and reached out to stroke my cheek and I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch despite knowing better. My eyes snapped open when he grabbed my chin tightly and forced me to look at him, was this it, was he going to snap my neck and dispose of my body now? "Touch another man again, and I will kill you" his voice was low and promising and I swallowed as he let go of my chin, pressing a rough kiss to my lips before grabbing my elbow and dragging me out of the kitchen. So much for that arrangement...
