Sweet Collateral

<p> </p><p>Sold. Traded. Bought by the ruthless leader of the Juarez cartel.<br><br>Rafael D'Cruze is a bad man and he can't possibly want me for anything good. Just when I expect him to take and hurt and use he doesn't.<br><br>And somewhere in my broken mind his captivity begins to feel like kindness. He starts to feel like salvation.<br><br>I should hate him and everything he stands for. I should want him dead but I find myself wondering what it would feel like to be in his arms. To want a man's touch.<br><br>Maybe I truly am broken. Or perhaps in a world of monsters I just want to be loved by one.<br><br>I'm his sweet collateral and he's my monster…</p>
