The narrator has committed herself entirely to Damien Stark, agreeing to belong only to him. Now she craves the same total devotion in return. She wants them to possess each other completely, moving past physical pleasure into the deepest parts of their souls. The fire burning between them should consume them both. Damien needs pleasure, control, and her. He matches her perfectly in beauty and intelligence, yet darkness lives at his center. Their wildest passion cannot reach these hidden places within him. She burns to learn his secrets and longs for him to give himself as completely as she has given herself. Their damaged histories will either forge an unbreakable bond or destroy them utterly. The game Damien plays feels like obsession to her, fierce and blinding in its reality.
