Bab 131: Just This Once

~ SASHA ~

Sasha had had a conversation with a friend once, when they were relaying a part they'd been to. Where they'd been sexually assaulted. How it had changed their life and… her friend had trembled in exactly the same way. Her entire body vibrating. Not the way it happened from cold, where skin and muscle were reacting to something outside. But… it was like the body couldn't contain everything it was feeling and began to shudder.

Zev stared at her, his eyes pleading and she held his face.

"Tell me," she whispered, though she didn't want to hear it. "Tell me what it was like, and how it made you feel, and what comes into your head when you think about it. I'll never ask you again unless you want to talk about it. But tell me once. Let's get it out there and… deal with it," she whispered. "Because I love you, Zev. And once I understand, that's going to be it. We're going to be together and we're going to be happy. So… tell me."
