Steel Princess (Royal Elite 2)

Being mine isn’t a choice or a push and pull game anymore.

It’s her only hope of survival.

Elsa

“Are you sure about this?”

I suck in a breath through my teeth and release it out of my nose.

No. I’m not sure.

Truth is, I feel like hiding in a corner and never coming out.

But this is the only way to dig into my past and find anything of value. The only chance I have to find myself.

And hopefully, escape Aiden.

Maybe if I know what happened, I’ll hate him enough to stop reacting to him the way I do.

The memories from last night still haunt me. They still move underneath my skin like a living being.

How could I orgasm that hard? How could I react to his brutality the way I did?

Am I becoming sick like him or was it in me the entire time and he’s just awakening it?

Nope.

I didn’t come here to think about Aiden.

I meet Dr Khan’s gaze from my position, lying on the recliner chair, and force out a smile. “Yes. Please help me.”

He smiles, but there’s no warmth behind it. If anything, Dr Khan seems more unsure about this than I am.

“I need you to close your eyes and relax.”

Crossing my hands on my stomach, I try to get comfy on the leather recliner chair.

“Inhale through your nose. Hold it. Then exhale through your mouth.”

I do as he says.

In.

Out.

We spent what seems like minutes in an inhale-exhale exercise.

“Try to imagine that you’re going down a staircase,” he says with a soothing tone.

“A staircase?”

“Yes. Every step down is like leaving your consciousness to reach your subconscious. Can you imagine a staircase?”

“I think?” My brows furrow as I try to concentrate on the image.

“Relax, Elsa.” Dr Khan’s voice comes from opposite me. “It’ll never work if you’re tense. How about you take deep breaths again?”
