"Skye, please," Jaxon's voice was desperate, but I couldn't bear to look at him after what I'd learned. "Listen to me first, baby." "What is there to explain?" My words were bitter. "Why keep it hidden until now?" He didn't respond. I let out a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?" "Skye, please. My situation is difficult. Just give me a chance to explain. I have too much on my plate." I shook my head. "No, I don't need to hear your lies." "Is it that hard for you, Skye? I always listen to you." His words hit me. "Are you blaming me? Sorry, Jaxon. This setup is tiring. I waited for you, but you were not there when I needed you most. I tried to reach out, but you were too busy with things you didn't tell me. So, I was left alone like I was no one." I could see a mix of emotions in his eyes-emotions I couldn't fathom, emotions I saw for the first time since we started our relationship. "I'm sorry, Jaxon. I want to let go. I tried so hard, but I'm choosing myself this time. You stole the only friend I had!" As I opened the door, my heart broke. "Baby, please. Don't give up on me. I love you." "I can't feel it, Jax. I'm too drained. I'm sorry." I stepped outside the room. "And I hope not to see you again."
"Skye, please," I could hear the intense pleading in his voice, but I didn't know how to look at him after finding out everything that happened. "Listen to me first, baby."
"What is there to explain, hmm?" Each word I uttered tasted as bitter as bitter gourd. "Why, if I hadn't found out now, were you planning to tell me, or were you planning to keep it hidden until the grave, huh?" He didn't respond, so I released a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?"
I could clearly see the confusion in his eyes, but I chose to feign ignorance. I didn't care about how he felt right now; my own pain was doubled.
"Skye, please. My situation right now is very difficult. All I'm asking you is to give me a chance to explain my side. Please give me a few days. I have too much on my plate right now."
I shook my head as tears continued to stream down my face. "No, I don't need to hear any of your lies."
"Is it that hard to make it easier for me, Skye? I always listen to you, but why, when it's you, is it so easy for you to let me go like this?"
It felt like a slap to my senses to hear that. "Are you blaming me? Sorry, again? Easy? And, come on, Jaxon. Admit it or not, this setup is exhausting. I tried to understand everything. You showing up late on our dates, almost not coming, not to mention those times you stood me up because you forgot you said yes to me, while I waited for you. I'd be lucky if you arrived five hours after our meeting time, and I'd still be grateful that you came. It's not just that. You weren't there when I needed you the most, when I struggled with my depression, when I flunked my major subject and had to take a remedial exam. You weren't there, Jaxon. I carried it all alone as if you didn't exist. I tried to reach out, to communicate my feelings to fix us, but you were too busy with things you wouldn't tell me. So I was left alone like I was nothing."
I could see a mix of emotions in his eyes-emotions I couldn't fathom, emotions I saw for the very first time after we started a relationship.
"So, I'm sorry Jaxon, if it's just this simple, I want to let go. But please remember, I tried so hard, I tried my best, I tried until I couldn't anymore. I'm sorry that I need to let you go because this time, I'm choosing myself. And you know what became my last straw? I discovered that the man I loved the most is actually one of the reasons for the death of my dear friend. I never, ever expected this from you. I will take this to my grave. I trusted you so much. I hate you-no, I loathe you! You stole the only friend I had!"
As I started to open the door, my heart swelled and broke into pieces. "Baby, please. Don't give up on me. I love you."
"I can't feel it, Jax. I'm too drained to deal with this shit, so I'm sorry." I fully opened the door and stepped outside the room. "And I hope not to see you again."

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
