The dreaded day had arrived. And this year, February 14th
had a dual meaning. Not only was it Valentine’s Day, but it
was also Valentine’s day. Since his breakup with his
boyfriend, Valentine Giovanni, a month ago, Deke’s life
seemed meaningless. What had he expected? The moment Val
found out he’d cheated on him, the shit hit the fan, and
Deke’s shoes hit the pavement. He didn’t have time to
explain the why of it. Val wouldn’t believe him, and even
Deke didn’t fully comprehend why he did it. He told himself
Val deserved better, a submissive who completely trusted
him, who’d commit wholly to his rough sex and demands. So
rather than talk over his fears and insecurities, Deke
forced a breakup by admitting he’d cheated. It was a
painful scene, an angry, gut-wrenching, debacle that ended
in a screaming rage. Deke thought he’d feel relief when it
was over, but every day was more dismal than the last, and
all he felt was emptiness. He’d never loved anyone like he
loved his former dom. He realized that now. And tonight, he
planned to prove his love to Val.
