1 " In the dark of the night, sometimes I lie awake and fear creeps in. Fear that I’ll never be free of Peter. Fear that the abuse he dealt during those four years will continue to poison anything good for the rest of my life. He took those years from me. I desperately don’t want him to take my future too. I close my eyes and take long, slow breaths, one after another, until the frantic circling of my thoughts eases, just a little. The fear isn’t gone. It’s never really gone. I’ve just learned to live with it. "

2 " I fit. It’s annoying that I fit. "
3 " I have to bite down the impulse to tell Hook to put me down, that I’m too heavy. He’s obviously got things well in hand, and it’s just my fool brain being an asshole. "
4 " All the stories end with the villain vanquished and the happy couple riding off into the sunset. That’s what happily ever after is. They never have to work on their relationship, never have to get their hands dirty when facing the challenges living a full life creates. They’re caught in stasis, without conflict, without problems, without life. That’s no way to live. "
5 " The next cock you'll have is mine. All you have to do is ask."She braces her hands on my shoulders, her nails digging in the tiniest bit as she rocks against me. "I'm never going to ask.""Yes you are." I ignore her restless moving, a silent demand that I pick up my pace. "And when you do, I'll let you ride me. Or I'll bend you over the nearest piece of furniture and fuck you until you see the face of god. "
