"Don't, don't do this..." Lily fell to the ground, fortunately cushioned by Aidan Lucas's arm during the descent, preventing her from hurting herself.
"Aidan Lucas, I'm begging you... don't do this..."
She loved him, she truly loved him.
Yet his kiss made her feel afraid.
Initially, she had felt no disgust when he embraced her.
But when his thin lips met hers, a heart-wrenching pain surged forth.
Memories of him, rough and unreasonable, tearing off her clothes and treating her mercilessly, flooded towards her like a tsunami.
Those intertwined scars left by him.
Her back, against the cold wooden board, throbbing from being knocked, even worn raw.
Even though her mind had forced itself to forget, her body still retained a subconscious protective response.
Lily hugged herself helplessly, her arms trembling, "No, Aidan Lucas... please don't..."
"Alright, I'll let go... Lily, don't be afraid..." Aidan Lucas made sure she was stable before slowly releasing his hands.
