Speaker 1: Fire with Fire, written and narrated by Vivia Volupta, just
walked out of another train wreck. He says, I'm too
much that my fire choked him out. Heard it all before,
but this time I'm gunning for someone who can match
my blaze, not just whine about the heat. Love tard.
Always have thought it meant something, but all it did
was scare folks off My fire too damn hot. For most,
they dig the warmth, hate the burn, obsessive guilty. I
go all in and yeah, it's my Achilles' heel. But
then Julian happened, her eyes locked in some dive bar,
and bam, knew he was different. He had that same
wild look, that craving. We talked all night, wine flowing
like words. I was hooked. First date, a wild ride,
fancy dinner, His travel tales had me hanging on every word.
The night charged with a raw buzz when he kissed
me good night, fireworks, but Julian played it cool, slow,
soaking up every moment. Dates filled with art shows and
fancy wines, little gifts, all the works. I was falling hard,
but the guy liked control, ran everything. At first, It's hot,
his take charge vibe. Then it got suffocating. He wanted
tabs on me where I was, who with doing what?
Texts bombarded me, got mad if I didn't answer fast.
He even started picking my clothes, my food, my hair's style.
Tried to stand my ground, but he'd sweet talk me
back every time. Despite the red flags, couldn't deny the chemistry.
The guy was electric in the sack, knew all the
right moves, raw primal never felt anything like it. One
night post fun, he's all, want to try something wild
heart racing. I'm like, what's up? His eyes go all predator,
total domination. Want to tie you up, drive you wild
till you beg pausing, but his gaze too much. I
whisper okay. He grins, pulls out silk scarves, tells me
hands up. I'm buzzing as he ties me to the headboard,
kisses me deep, then starts this slow, wicked tease, brings
me close, then backs off. I'm begging. He's laughing that
dark laugh. Finally he goes all in, fast, hard, till
I'm screaming. He finishes, collapses and we're just lying there
a mess of sweat and heavy breaths. But it didn't
stop there. Each night, the game's got darker, the control tighter.
Next time, it wasn't just scarves, it was cuffs, chains,
got to keep you in line, he'd say, with a smirk,
clipping them tight around my wrists. He'd leave me there,
hanging while he did whatever he pleased, watching, touching, with
holding until I was half mad from it. And then
the toys came out, whips, paddles, the whole Damn. Arsenal
said he was training me, breaking me in. You'll learn
to love it, he promised, a wild fire in his eyes.
Each crack of the whip was a test, a challenge
to break or bow. I didn't know whether to cry
out from the pain or the thrill. It was all
becoming a blur. One night he laid out his darkest fantasy,
a collar, a leash, time to truly belong, he said.
That's when it hit me. This wasn't just kink, it
was his creed. He wanted a follower, a worshiper, a slave.
With each tug of the leash, he was rewriting me,
trying to turn my fiery spirit into smoldering ash, ready
to be shaped under his will. Each session stretched longer,
dug deeper. He'd stare into my eyes as he worked,
searching for that flicker of surrender. But with each passing night,
a part of me recoiled, a scream building deep inside
that this wasn't me, wasn't what I wanted. That growing
unease turned to dread realization, dawning with the chill of
early morning light. I was losing myself, piece by piece
to a man who saw love not as a union
but as ownership. Tried ignoring it, telling myself it's all good,
but it got worse. His control spilled everywhere, got insanely jealous,
started making threats, tried talking, got nowhere. He'd dismiss me.
I know what's best, but that ain't partnership, that's ownership.
Blew up one night and I bolted, just left, didn't
even explain. Knew if I stayed, I'd be nothing but
his puppet. As I walked away, phone keeps blowing up,
begging texts turned to threats, clear sign I needed out
for good. That's it. I'm done. One sleepless night, I
book it. One way to the UK, start fresh, work remotely,
live quietly. It's a whole new world here. Met Tom
at a cafe, steady clear, no drama. A year later,
it's still good. He gets me, supports me, without trying
to change me. Walking by the Thames sometimes seeing the
city lights on the water, I think about how much
I've changed, left a life of fiery chaos for something
that actually feeds my soul every day, Grateful for the
strength that pulled me through to this better place, this
better love, this better me. The end.
