TOM Defender. Quiet. Private. No one knows the stoic exterior is a facade hiding the turmoil inside. I need an outlet for that darkness. I’ve found it in two places. One, a hard earned career in the service and the other, a love I didn’t know could exist for me. I crave them both. I demand them both. How do I choose between the woman who frees me, accepts that wild side of me, and the freedom I need to right my wrongs? All without sacrificing myself. It may turn out to be a decision that is not up to me. FARRAH Sweet. Innocent. Loving. No one knows my demure exterior masks the wild living inside me. Something only he could draw out. When he pushed my limits and I felt secure, I allowed that side of me to be seen. To be chased. And caught. There is a fine line between balancing power and gentleness. My need to be heard is just as strong as his need to be silent. Until he lets his guard down, the perfect partnership I see us having can’t happen. How can I give that strength to him if he won’t take my vulnerability? There’s only so much waiting I can do.
