Being that person, that man is how I define myself, how I allow the rest of the world to define me as well. And now, with a terrible loss shredding me inside out and someone trying to destroy my family to punish me, control is more important than ever. It is everything. It is what I need. It is all I need. Or maybe I just need…her.
Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
How many strikes can you get before you're out? As any former pitcher knows it only takes three and you’re out! Strike one is the death of Rebecca his submissive and possible love that the police are accusing and trying to pin on him.
