Chapter 94

• Dane's hands roamed over her trembling body like brands, each unwanted touch burning into her skin and leaving invisible scars that she knew would never fully heal. The memory of his touch would haunt her again, maybe worse than before, she realized with growing horror.
• Scarlett refused to be passive this time. She wouldn't just lie there and take it like some broken doll. She would fight with everything she had, every breath in her body, every beat of her heart, every fiber of her being.
• She writhed and kicked with desperate fury, stomping on his feet with her heels, clawing at his arms with her nails, biting when his fingers came too close to her mouth, anything to break free from his suffocating grip.
