Ana manages to escape Jack's clutches...and of course runs right into Christian's instead. This chapter takes quite a journey, from a near miss with Ana's creepy boss, to a bit of a sex ed lesson in Christian's playroom. Because of course, we can't linger on any non-sexy plot points for too long.

Content warnings for this chapter: threats of sexual assault, physical violence, verbal abuse, alcohol mention, controlling behavior, jealousy, kinkshame, unhealthy coping mechanisms.
