EMERY Stripping was supposed to be an escape. A faraway haven to hide from the soul-sucking normalcy of my reality. A safe space to unleash my inner flirt, my inner tease, my inner sinner.
When I’m dancing at Lux, I’m not Emery Jones, a woman carrying a stranger’s heart. No. I’m Luna Lush. A deviant. An alter-ego. A goddess. It’s my dirty little secret. Harmless. They can’t touch me.
Only look. And I rarely look back. Except for that night. The night I saw him. And everything changed.
DAMON It’s been three years since I’ve let myself feel anything other than regret and guilt. It wasn’t always like this. There was a time when I ruled every room I entered.
When I got every single thing I desired. When I was a king among kings. But every king eventually falls. And I fell. Hard.
I planned on spending the rest of my life in solitude, repenting the sins that altered my destiny and destroyed my faith but then I saw her. My salvation.
And no one will take her from me Especially not him.
