The strip of leather made contact with the skin on my back. The burning pain soared and I had to grit my teeth so no noise came out. I've lost count. I can't even remember the number of times he has brought the whip down onto my back. The burning sensation cooled and for a few seconds I thought the torture had finished but my thoughts soon came crashing down. Instead of being mauled by the whip, I heard a crunch as the bones in my torso were crushed by a heavy booted foot kicking me in the side. I grunted in pain. I had been in this cell for God knows how long and it was now probably some time in the evening. "Trying to be clever are we?" His voice booms out, his voice makes me flinch. "That's what you think smart ass. But I was trying to protect her." I replied back. I shouldn't have said that because moments later I'm kicked again in the side; this time so hard that I can feel a rib sink into one of my lungs. I fly towards the opposite wall in the cell, landing on my back. The specks of dirt and dust dig into the deep cuts on my back making me suck in a quick breath. I grunt and try to get up onto my feet but I feel a firm grip on the base of my neck. Before I know it, my feet are no longer touching the ground and I'm struggling for air. This is it. I'm dying. It's all over. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

COMPLETED ✔️ "You really want to lose your life?" I snap, pressing the knife until a thick bead of blood appears. Josh doesn't flinch. If anything... he gets harder. "Try me," he says against my mouth-soft, intimate, deadly. For a second, I forget what I'm doing-caught in the way he smells, the heat of his body, the quiet hunger in his eyes. His hand snaps to my wrist, twisting with ease. The knife drops. "Next time you reach for a knife..." His breath ghosts down my neck. "I'll reach for my gun." *** Kate has perfected the art of pretending. At home, she's the innocent daughter, playing her role flawlessly. Beneath the surface, she's a rebel shaped by trauma, driven by a need to control before anyone can hurt her first. When Josh-her mother's new boyfriend-moves in, Kate decides to pull him into her web, expose whatever he's hiding, and push him out of their lives for good. Even though Josh makes her feel things she shouldn't, Kate knows she can't let herself slip. A reserved lawyer with a past he's desperate to keep buried, Josh came into Kate's life because of her. Whatever he knows, whatever he's running from, he's determined to keep it hidden, including his growing feelings. He wants to do the right thing. To be loyal. To be a good person. But when Kate starts digging too deep, Josh realizes he'll do anything to stop her-even if it means breaking her piece by piece.
