HURT….SEX….LOVE….LIES Azeria thought she had it all when she met the man she thought she would love for life. She enjoyed the sex they had and the time they spent together. He told her more than a hundred times that he loved her and hurt her more than a thousand times. But, each time he hurt her, she often found a way to hurt him in return. Yet, still Azeria loved this man and could not stop having and enjoying the sex they were sharing. Azeria was smart and was armed with her street savvy, good looks and book sense. But, it was still not enough to make Drake love her the way she wanted him to. The sex every other day more than made up for the “I love you” he often said to her, but, from the beginning of their relationship and to the end of their relationship, Drake never committed to dating her out in public. And, Drake only wanted Azeria to fulfill his sexual needs and he would not allow any other man to love her. If she tried to love someone else he would often punish her. Drake lived with another woman, Azeria lived with her ex-husband. But, Drake commanded the respect from Azeria and when he said jump, she had to say how high. Drake knew he controlled Azeria, but, when Azeria left town, she controlled the secret Drake would never know.
