Ashburne Chronicles, 1

\n

What do you do when you've had a crush on the local deputy since the moment you walked into town? Gather your courage and invite him to a Halloween party. Easy right? Not really.

The party sucks and plan B falls apart within minutes. He isn’t the man you thought he was. No, he’s a damn monster hiding in plain sight.

But Ashburne isn’t like other towns and nothing is what it seems. Especially on Halloween.

\n

Be Warned: forced seduction, bondage

\n

Excerpt:

\n

Her words are the thing that finally push me over the edge and have the last vestiges of my decency disintegrating. The darkness I have felt seeping into me finally takes hold and I no longer have control of my body. Lifting one of her legs I push her juicy thigh over my hip before thrusting my erection against her sex. A tiny noise escapes her throat.

\n

“You want honesty? I haven’t wanted another woman since I saw you that first day at the diner.” I rub myself against her. “I dream of these thick thighs spread for me and every morning I jerk my cock in the shower to thoughts of these lush tits. I hate that you call yourself fat. I don’t see you that way, I see a sexy ass woman that can handle a real man.”

\n

I can’t believe I am saying all these things to her. I have lost all control.

\n

“If I scare her, so be it,” a dark voice filters into my mind. “I don’t care anymore and neither should you. She should be afraid of us. I am on the precipice of losing my goddamned mind and just taking her, whether she wants us or not.”

\n

 Fear and confusion swirl and lodge in my gut. None of this makes any damn sense and I’m afraid of myself right now, to be honest.

\n

Lowering her leg, I allow her a little room to breathe as I run my index finger along her cleavage. Yes, I want to touch her but this is different. I’m not controlling my movements.

\n

“I don’t want you, Sage. I crave you, more than my next fucking breath. I want to pin you to the ground and rip this pretty dress from your body, I want to fuck you until you cry and then I want to pump you full of my seed and get you pregnant so you can never leave me. That’s what I want.”

\n

My darkest secrets are laid bare for her. The voice sounds like mine but the words aren’t spoken by me. Bewilderment strangles me as I try to figure out what the fuck is going on.

\n

I’m not expecting the slap that connects with my cheek. I’m also not expecting it to ignite a fire in my soul that won’t be put out. The darkness inside me pulses with every beat of my heart, growing stronger, fully overtaking me.

\n

“You need to run now, little girl,” I hear myself say, darkness dripping from every word. “Run fast and run far because if I catch you in these woods tonight, I will fuck your pretty little cunt raw.”

\n
