Chapitre 152: CHAPTER 152 Safe Word

　　~ CASIMIR ~

　　"I'm your slave, Cazz," she said, everything in her shaking. "Not because you made me. I chose that. And I'm going to keep choosing it. Every day. No matter what."

　　The words hit me like a sonic boom, traveling through flesh and sinew and bone to slam into my heart- into the bond- and shake those defenses I'd been building around myself since I was nothing but a pup. Because I couldn't remember a single day in my life that I'd felt safe. Ever.

　　Yet… here she was…

　　I forgive you.

　　You're worth it.

　　A strangled groan broke out of my throat, and I dove for her, taking her mouth desperately, pulling her into my chest and lifting her off her feet.

　　And when our skins touched, the steel walls I had built around my heart shattered.

　　I pulled her to me, delving her mouth, staggering under the shock of it all as I carried her to the nearest couch- a simple sectional I'd brought here for resting between bouts of play.
