Back To Basics
She comes back two weeks after he told her to go away. This time he says nothing. After making sure no one knows she is there, he locks the bedroom door and pushes against the wall, their lips meeting in a wild kiss. Once again, clothes are ripped away, bodies melt in mindless desire and common sense is tossed aside for painful pleasure.
They go to bed afterwards, but no epiphany follows. When he awakes, he's tied to the bed and he stands before him, holding a knife against his chest.
He smiles and welcomes her -- and the pain -- back.
