Accidental Surrogate for Alpha

#Chapter 123 – Rogue Attacks

Sinclair

After Ella shared her story with me, we spent a long time just kissing and cuddling, talking through our feelings and reaffirming our love. Still, Ella wasn’t entirely soothed. I could tell she was still beating herself up about her panic attack, no matter how many times I promised her it was all right

I just want to be able to give you what you need.

Ella moans after a while, sounding as miserable ass ever.

“I don’t need to tie you up, baby. I promise, wondering if I’ll ever be able to convince her that she’s enough for me exactly as she is. “There are plenty of other things we can do.”

“But the idea of being tied up with you doesn’t frighten me.” Ella confesses, surprising me. “I think it was just the way you asked. Because it wasn’t about you and me, it was about what had been done to me in the past.

I frown, unsure if she’s being completely forthright. “That’s possible.” I agree. “But the chances are that if the question was that upsetting, feeling it would be worse.”

“Not if I know it’s coming, and not if I’m handcuffed or something. The straps on a medical table are different.” Ella argues. “I’m not saying I want to try it right this second or when you’re really stressed. It would probably be better when things are calmer so that if I do panic it doesn’t ruin everything, but I think I would like to try sometime.”

“You really don’t have to, Ella.” I assure her “Not for my sake. It should be fun for both of us, not something you have to endure.”

“I’m not just saying it for you Ella insists. “I don’t like thinking that they still have so much power over me. Maybe if I can get over that fear by replacing the bad memories with some good ones I can take my power back.”
