She had taken her courage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein both hands and made the leap into a D\/s relationship with him and truly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethought it had been the best thing to do at the time. She still did, although\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethose parts of her that she quashed sometimes longed for someone to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etease and squabble with, and have fun with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarren was a ruthless and wealthy businessman. He had inherited the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebusiness from his father, just as he had inherited considerable wealth and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe family home. He was an only child, and Haley thought that was a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshame. Siblings might have softened Warren. Haley's mom had died from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecancer two years ago, and only the connection, albeit a long distance one,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith her sister Iris had made life bearable then. That and her obsession\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith Warren. It had given her hope as well. Warren came across as a cold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand distant person, but Haley believed, with all her heart, that a kind,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eloving man lived inside that exterior. She had seen glimpses of him when\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehe wasn't being the person he thought he should project. He was such a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomplex man, and at times a total contradiction, even if he wasn't aware of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit. Haley's continuing mission in life had been the study of Warren, after all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50464795066672,"sku":"BDzj03","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/zj03-cover.jpg?v=1766552545","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-zj03","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
