Undertow

She never meant to let it go this far. On a popular sex toy app, she found an escape from a life that felt like a cage. A private group, four strangers, and the illusion of control. But when a quiet, intense man from across the Channel starts seeing through her performance, the game shifts from physical to psychological. He calls himself by a handle. She does the same. No real names, no faces, just the raw intimacy of text on a screen and the pulse of a toy he commands from hundreds of miles away. He is an empath who recognizes the self-hatred she hides behind her sweetness. She is drawn to the heavy, desperate devotion he offers, and thrilled by the envy she provokes in him. As their private sessions grow more intense and the tension between them tightens, the question isn't whether they'll cross the water to meet. It's whether either of them will survive the undertow when they do.
