Breaking Lara – Penny Mappoura – Salmon

That is one thing that I remember. Whenever we were out on assignment in the fall months, I remember staring at the colour of everything. It’s warm and cosy. I am feeling much better and almost all the way healed, Derek has been sneaking into my room in the middle of the night. His large body curling up next to mine, keeping me warm and safe. I don’t need physical protection, I have always been able to hold my own, obviously, and more than that, I am a trained killer and a skilled fighter, but something about knowing he is there, whether it’s just down the hall, downstairs in the club or lying beside me in my bed, it’s a feeling that I am coming to be familiar with and I like it.

“You don’t have to say anything,” she says softly. “But I’m going to, because you need to hear it.” I swallow hard, waiting. “You think you’re a monster.” Her voice doesn’t waver. “You think you don’t deserve good things, or love, or even a life. I know, because I used to think the same. What was taken from me, what I did after — I thought it meant I could never be more than ruined. But that’s not true.

You get to choose what you are now. You get to take it back.” My chest aches and I look down to my trembling hands that wrap around the mug. “And when it comes to him—” her smile softens, just a little, “—you need to know this. Derek is dark and brutal. He’ll push you, probably harder than anyone else could.

But he won’t break you. He won’t take what you don’t give. And when he finally has you—” her eyes meet mine, sharp but kind, “—he’ll worship every part of you, even the ones you hate…Especially those.” Heat blooms across my skin, hard and heavy. My voice is barely a whisper. “I don’t…

I’ve never—” “I know…he knows…” Elaina reaches across the table, takes my hand in hers. “And that’s not something to be ashamed of. You’ve seen sex used as a weapon and you’ve seen it twisted. What you haven’t seen is what it can be. What it should be. With someone who wants all of you.” I bite down hard on my lip, but it doesn’t stop the tears that threaten.

Elaina squeezes my hand tighter. “When you’re ready, Lara, you’ll find out. And you won’t be afraid.” I have questions, so many questions swirling around in my mind. Just the thought of what he did to me only a week ago makes me feel warm, with a tightness coiling in my lower belly.
