The Devil's Mercy

He didn't ask my name.
On graduation day, I found my boyfriend in our bed with a girl from my class. He told me I didn't have that kind of pull.
So I went looking for something that would make me forget.
I found a stranger at a bar without a sign. He took me upstairs to prove my boyfriend wrong.
Against the door. Across the sheets. His hand in my hair, his mouth at my throat, his voice low in my ear: "Again."
He didn't let me stop until I begged.
Then he made me beg twice more.
I left before dawn. No number. No name.
He found mine anyway.
His name is Damian Vale, and his brother died with my father's badge at the gate.
Now I work for him. He knows exactly who I am.
I tell him it was one night. Nothing more.
He accepts my terms.
He does not tell me the first rule was his.
