Freda Warrington

Her lover, a god or a devil, whispering the lie in her ear: "Give yourself to me now and we'll be together for ever." And then the rush, the convulsion, her soul flying out as if caught on a hook. Now he had her, and she was lost, and didn't care. The dark powers of earth were shifting around them. Clouds gathered, demons smiled, everything changed; but she didn't see. There was only this moment, like spilled jewels, a flight through paradise with an angel, her lover. Divine, the memory. But reality. Reality was hard, painful and full of blood. The beauty of the memory pricked her with cruel claws. She'd slid into the Devil's satin trap. Forbidden pleasure must be punished...
