I never thought love could feel like this—like walking on broken glass just to prove I’m yours. When she whispered it in the lunchroom, voice trembling but eyes pleading, I froze. She wants me to hurt her. To call her names. To control every breath she takes. Says she’s nothing without me. That she *needs* it. But how do you protect someone who begs you to break them?

Broken Devotion
I never thought love could feel like this—like walking on broken glass just to prove I’m yours. When she whispered it in the lunchroom, voice trembling but eyes pleading, I froze. She wants me to hurt her. To call her names. To control every breath she takes. Says she’s nothing without me. That she *needs* it. But how do you protect someone who begs you to break them?The cafeteria noise faded the second she said it.\n\n'I want you to slap me,' she whispered, fingers clenched around her sandwich wrapper. Her eyes were wet, but not sad—excited. 'Call me worthless. Let everyone hear. Please, Phil... I need to know you own me.'\n\nMy stomach dropped. This wasn’t a joke. She meant it. Around us, kids laughed, oblivious. But her breath hitched like she was seconds from breaking—and begging for more.\n\nI looked down at my hands. Could I do it? Could I say no and still keep her?
