When Cat finally escaped from the monster that tortured her, it took years to heal emotionally and physically. After she met Macy, her desire for him surprised her, but nothing could happen. She was too damaged and broken inside to ever ask a man to put up with her insecurities and the fact that she might never be able to have sex.
Macy knew she was the submissive woman he'd been looking for, but he also knew it would take time for her to trust him. But he wouldn't give up. He'd be as patient as he needed to be.
Cat decided she was stronger than she thought and wanted to try to get physical with Macy. But one thing after another keeps them from connecting, but they knew they could overcome anything—until the monster comes back.
