Or maybe… just maybe… she wasn’tready.After what happened to her, I can understand that she’d be hesitant to get into similar situations again. The few times she’d submitted to me, it was obvious she enjoyed it… but something would always drag her out of that state.

Trepidation. Fear.

Thepast.

She is well and truly broken, my toy. Like Cinderella’s slipper, or Snow White’s glass coffin.

So what if I could find all her pieces—wherever they were—and put her back together again? Maybe Sterling is right. Maybe Idohave the power to rewrite history?

“That video,” I say, slowly sinking back into my seat. “Is there any way to trace where it came from?”

Sterling cocks an eyebrow at me. “What, so you can track down her ex and kill him for daring to fuck the girl you like?”

I clench my jaw, and Sterling quickly puts up his hands. “It’s a joke, dude.” Then he mutters to himself, “Christ, you used to have a sense of humor before Evie came on the scene.”

It’s not my place to go around telling Evie’s secrets to anyone who asks. “Just tell me if it’s possible.”

“I’m sure it is,” Sterling says. “But you’d probably have to hire a PI and pay him a small fortune to do it. Especially something this old.”

“It’s from a couple of months back.”

“Online, a couple of months is ancient history.” Sterling lights a cigarette, watching me as he makes the cherry glow virulent orange. “This isn’t going to work, Owen.”

I roll my lips together, looking away. “Yeah, I didn’t think so.”

“I mean, trying to be a hero.”

I glare at him. “What?”

Sterling waves a hand toward his phone. “That’s it, isn’t it? I’m guessing Evie found out you saw her video, and now she doesn’t like the thought of it being online. And you think by getting it taken down, you can score enough brownie points to get back in her pants.” Sterling shrugs when my glare doesn’t shift one iota. “Dude, if rescuing Willow didn’t work, then neither will this.”

Despite the weed, I nearly punch him in his smug fucking mouth.
