Sometimes the one who got away comes back with a vengeance. Amy can walk away from Janice, but there doesn't feel like any retribution that she can get against Lucian for his betrayal. While she swears that she never wants to see him again, that doesn't seem good enough. He needs to pay for what he did.

All that Amy can think about is making things right with Lucian. She was horrible to him last time they were together, lashing out at him verbally in a fit of anger. Now regret is piling on, and a new submissive side of her is coming out. Nothing is what it seems, though, as her world tilts on its axis. Lucian is playing the dismissive game again. And Amy has far too much on her plate to have time to deal with it, between things going wrong at work and Janice being emotionally shattered after ramping up the intensity at Flesh.

Enough is enough. Amy decides to hunt Lucian down and find out what gives. He's played with her heart, made her think that he cared, and then completely ignored her. And she's not going to let him get away with it.

The pressure is on at work as Amy's boss begins to get fed up with Lucian dragging his feet on his interior design project.
