-Sebastian Lightwood:
A belt.
Why would he get a belt?
My stomach tightened instantly. My mind went straight to the worst place. Does he want to use it on me? The thought alone made my nerves flare. I don't like pain. I don't like being restrained. I don't like not knowing when something is going to hurt.
I don't want this to be painful.
I swallowed hard, my body going tense without me meaning to. If Elias wanted that, though… if that was what he needed… I wouldn't say no even if I hated it, even if it made me uncomfortable. I told him to do whatever he wanted to me. I meant it.
But deep down, another voice whispered something quieter.
Elias wouldn't hurt you.
