"Oh God," I said "That's horrible. And she...she just let it happen?"
"She did." The corner of his mouth turned into a sly, sad smile. "But I didn't"
"Tell me, tell me you beat the crap out of him"
His smile grew, "I did.

He blinked. "What?"
"Uh, nothing.

The only thing better than imagining Dimitri carrying me in his arms was imagining him shirtless while carrying me in his arms.

There's nothing worse than waiting and not knowing what'll happen to you. Your own imagination can be crueler than any captor.
