"i won't hurt you," he said.
Selena burst out laughing. "You won't hurt me?
"It is." Her heart raced, and the need to escape intensified. She had to leave. To get out before something happened they would both regret.
"I've got to get out of here," she said. Selena was level with him on her way out of the room when Jalal caught her with an arm around her waist. "Let me go."

"You like to hurt women?" she asked.
"No. Not in the way you think.
"This only a controlled area"
"How can this be a controlled area?"

hearing the most. What would happen if she refused? Would that be the end of the relationship? What if she didn't like this side to him? There was so much at stake.
"I don't think I can do this," she said, the tears falling in full force.
"Don't cry.
