Tears of Tess (Monsters in the Dark, #1)

by Pepper Winters

Wow, how irresponsible could I be? I hadn’t even thought about protection.

are you not literally held prisoner and have no way to get bc AND your not in charge

I belonged to Q, yet he never stepped over the line from tormentor to rapist.

what an accomplishment

She hung her head. “That isn’t my story to tell, Ami. You’ll have to earn his trust and show you care to learn about your master.”

ew

Can’t you see my plight, when all I want to do is fight, you paint me in a light I can never be, I come shackled with shadow, consumed with rage and fire, I’m close to breaking, the urge is quaking, raping, I’m the devil, and there’s no hope.

Wtf

His dig at lying about my name irked. I’m ready to tell you. Just ask.

Just tell him

The connection between us strengthened, lengthened. By giving me the choice, he showed he cared as much as he may want to destroy.

why not do this in the begining?

“Yes,” I breathed, and just like that, I became Q’s whore. His doting, willing, eager little whore.

we have gone through like 5 different emotions ranging from love and adoration and protection to pure hate. wtf

Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed until he was sober.

maybe

His eyes flashed as I rocked, smearing sensual liquid all over his cock and balls.

we like reading about prep

“I know you were terrified when you first arrived. I know you suffered in Mexico. I know you missed your boyfriend—I can’t hate you for being a fighter, for running, for being brave. I just wish you’d given us more time before judging and making a bad decision.” She picked up the knife and resumed slicing.

you wish she gave you more time for her to be a victim and find a way out without any clue that she was safe? even now she does not know???

“Q rehabilitates broken women, and returns them to their loved ones. He dedicates his money, staff, and home to helping women who’ve been shattered beyond repair. With some sort of Mercer superglue, he manages to put them together again.”

just immediately do this OR explain what your doing

“I know, Ms. Snow, but it doesn’t change the fact that for the first time, Q responded to a slave the way a normal master would. He saw your fight and loved you weren’t broken. He wasn’t trying to break you by doing what he did.” He dropped his voice so I could barely hear. “He was hoping you could break him.”

selfish still

Tears waterfalled and I sobbed. Sobbed for my past with this man. The knowledge I had changed completely, and could never go back. I would always live with Q in my heart; there was no longer room for Brax. But I had to pretend.

girl this relationship was doomed from the start, get over it

“You were panting and woke me up,” Brax murmured, still stroking his finger inside. “You sounded in so much pain, Tessie. Then you started fingering yourself and moaning.” His voice ached with hurt, but he kept smiling softly. “I tried to stop you, but you forced my finger inside, and well, you… you woke up.” Shame flamed my cheeks. I looked away, unable to see the turmoil in his gaze. “I’m sorry, Brax.”

what? even?
