Bound & Tamed: An Illegal Affair
When Percy Blackwell, the enigmatic son of a billionaire, lands in a private prison ward for murder, he’s untouchable, charismatic, dangerous, and entirely unapologetic. Nothing matters to him… except the woman who’s been assigned to guard him.
Isla Soren thrives on control. A seasoned prison officer, she’s used to keeping chaos in check, until Percy tests every rule, every limit, and every restraint she’s ever held. In a place where intimacy is forbidden, every stolen glance, every tense conversation, and every quiet act of defiance sparks a dangerous obsession.
Their affair is a game of power and desire, each willing to bend rules and break boundaries for the other. But in a world where secrets and lies can cost lives, love comes at a price. Discovery is way more dangerous than all the fun had. And when Percy escapes, leaving Isla to face the consequences alone, she realizes the stakes are far higher than either of them imagined.
Dark, addictive, and irresistibly forbidden, Bound and Tamed is a slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless.

Chapter: Chapter 6Percy Sleep in this place is strange.It isn’t the kind of sleep that eases you into rest with gentle arms and a quiet lull; it doesn’t cradle you and let your body dissolve into calm oblivion. Instead, it hovers over your mind lightly, almost mockingly, like a temporary visitor that could vanish at any second, leaving you exposed and alert. Even when the room is silent, even when nothing stirs beyond the faint hum of the fluorescent lights, some fragment of my brain refuses to surrender. It clings to awareness, keeps me half on guard.Maybe that’s why I wake up so suddenly.One moment, I’m in that hazy, comforting darkness of dreams. The next, my eyes snap open, and my body reacts before I can even register what yanked me out of sleep. There’s a brief, disorienting second when nothing feels anchored, the ceiling above me is foreign, the light too bright, the air too sharp and cold, cutting against my skin in a way that shouldn’t be normal. Then reality nudges back into place.I’m in

Chapter: Chapter 5IslaMy alarm goes off at six, and just like every other day, I’m tempted to throw my phone across the room just to make the noise stop.The sound cuts cleanly through the quiet of my apartment, sharp and persistent, until I reach over and silence it. For a moment, I stay still, staring up at the ceiling while my body slowly wakes up.Why can’t I live a life where I sleep whenever I want and still be able to take care of my needs?If wishes were horses.With a sigh, I sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed, stretching the stiffness out of my shoulders. The floor is cool under my feet as I make my way toward the kitchen.Urghh.The coffee machine goes on first. I need my coffee to be able to function properly.A few minutes later, the smell of it fills the apartment. I pour myself a mug and lean against the counter, taking a slow sip while looking around my studio. Everything is exactly where I left it the night before. Clean dishes. Folded laundry. My uniform hangs neatly o

Chapter: Chapter 4PercyNight comes heavy and slow. The small lights above the room glow dimly, shadows crawling along the walls, and I lie on the bed, eyes wide, unable to force myself to sleep. My sister’s face is there before me, even in the dark, soft, pale, hair falling loose over her shoulders. Lila. I see the way her small frame turns into corners, trying to make herself invisible.I roll onto my side, pull the blanket tighter, but it doesn’t help. The room is silent, sterile. Nothing to distract me. No voices. No music. No games. Just me and the memory of what happened. I try to shove it away, but it sticks, clinging like wet ink to the edges of my mind.Sleep finally drags me down, and the darkness of my eyelids doesn’t erase the images; it just shifts them. The world morphs, and I’m back at the school, standing in the shadows of the hallways I can never escape. My chest tightens. My hands shake, even as I lie in my safe, private room. I see her, the real her, the living her, and then him. Cla

Chapter: Chapter 3IslaMy day starts off differently today. It’s my day off, and each day off is different for me.I wake up later than usual, sunlight already filling the room through the single window of my studio apartment. There is no alarm. No uniform waiting for me on the chair. No radio chatter, no steel doors or schedules to follow today.I stretch in bed and roll onto my side, reaching for the book I left on my nightstand last night.It’s a romance novel. One of those dramatic ones with glossy covers and unrealistic men. The story is about a woman in her forties who falls in love with a billionaire ten years younger than her. The plot is ridiculous, but I like it anyway. The woman has been divorced, cheated on, and overlooked, and now suddenly she’s being adored by someone who wants her for exactly who she is.I like that for her. She has suffered enough.I sit up against my pillows and read for a while, flipping pages slowly, letting time pass without watching it. Outside, I hear a car horn a

Chapter: Chapter 2PercyThe van moves.It smells like disinfectant and old sweat. Not the sharp, sterile kind either, the cheap kind that only half masks what’s soaked into the metal over the years. Fear. Vomit. Blood that’s been scrubbed but never erased. I sit on the narrow bench with my wrists cuffed in front of me, ankles chained, the vibration of the engine rattling up through my bones. I hear the door slam shut behind me again, or I imagine it, I don’t know.That sound, thick and final, doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. There’s no jolt of panic, no tightening in my chest, just a faint acknowledgment, like checking off an item on a list. This is happening.The guard across from me doesn’t look at my face. He keeps his eyes fixed somewhere over my shoulder, jaw set, posture rigid. Like if he looks directly at me, something might leak out. Judgment? Curiosity? I’m not sure which one he’s avoiding more.I lean my head back against the wall on the side. Cold metal kisses my scalp.The courthouse fa

Chapter: Chapter 1PercyThe judge’s voice sounds like it’s coming from underwater.“…having found the defendant guilty on his own plea…”I don’t blink, I don’t even shift. I don’t look at my parents or my sister, whose voice I can hear above everyone else, crying. I don’t look at the woman crying in the second row, clutching a photograph of a boy who will never grow older, thanks to me. I did the world a favour. I keep my eyes forward, fixed on the seal behind the judge’s head, gold and flaking, like everything else, and everyone else, in this room that pretends to be holy.Murderer.The word has already been said, just not directly to me yet. It’s floating around the courtroom like smoke, clinging to my skin.I killed Clay MacCoy.And I would do it again.“…sentenced to life with the possibility of parole…”My mother makes a sound then. A small, broken sound, like glass snapping. I know without looking that she has collapsed against my father’s shoulder. I know his hand is on her back, stiff and awkwa

Chapter: Chapter 24Mark stayed close for the next thirty minutes, always beside me, always checking in. If someone brushed past me too much or tried to approach, he’d shift a little closer like some kind of quiet shield. And I liked that, it made me feel seen.But then… he started drifting. Not in a dramatic way, but slowly.One moment, he was behind me, dancing and holding his drink. The next, he was waving at someone across the room. Then he disappeared into the crowd.I wasn’t pressed about it, honestly. We weren’t dating, and I didn’t expect anyone to babysit me. But it was interesting watching the shift. Every time he came back, he’d be a little hyped, a little sweaty, and every time he vanished, I’d spot him dancing with some girl or chatting close to someone.It was weird, but not weird enough to ruin my night. Just… noticeable.Still, I stayed in my happy bubble. I had waited so long to breathe again after exams. Nothing was going to ruin my vibe. Not even Mark being half-present, half-MIA.

Chapter: Chapter 23Dam started avoiding me again, and honestly, it was hilarious this time around. I didn’t know what switch flipped in his head, but ever since our conversation about Mark, he’d been acting like he suddenly developed allergies to my presence. The moment he heard my footsteps in the hallway, he’d find something, anything, to grab as an excuse to leave.The first morning it happened, I’d walked into the kitchen to make tea before work. He was leaning against the counter, scrolling through his phone, shirtless as usual. When he raised his head and noticed me coming in, his eyes widened slightly, like a kid caught stealing candy.“Morning,” he’d said, clearing his throat.“Morning,” I returned, grabbing a mug.“Oh, uh, shoot, I forgot I left my charger… somewhere,” he mumbled, already halfway to the living room.“Your charger is literally right there,” I pointed to the table.“Oh. Yeah. That one. I meant my… uh… other charger.”And then he disappeared.I had stood there blinking for a solid

Chapter: Chapter 22The room went completely silent after I told Dam how I felt about Mark. I didn’t add anything else, there was nothing more to explain, and I wanted to give him the space to process it. He just lay there on the couch, completely still, eyes wide open, like he couldn’t decide whether to breathe or shut down entirely.The sight alone made a small, awkward laugh slip out of me. It wasn’t funny, not even close, but it was the kind of nervous laugh that escaped when things got too tense and too real all at once. He didn’t react. He just kept staring at the ceiling, unmoving.“One moment, I need to use the bathroom,” he finally said, his voice way too calm for how fast he jumped up. Before I could say anything, he practically sprinted down the hallway and into his room, the door clicking shut behind him.At first, I waited. I sat there on the couch, clutching a cushion and replaying the moment in my head, wondering if I should have phrased things differently, or if saying it at all had been

Chapter: Chapter 21“Ashy,” he shouted my name like he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.“What? I’m not lying,” I said, trying hard not to laugh.We stood there staring at each other, him wide-eyed and baffled, me fighting a grin. The silence stretched for a beat, then another… and suddenly we both cracked, laughter spilling out of us at the same time.“You’re impossible,” he said, which only made me laugh harder. Honestly, it felt good.“I know,” I admitted, wiping a tear from my eye, “but I'm not lying when I say I don’t see any reason to apologize.”“Whatever, Ashy. I’m just glad you’re forgiving me and we’re going back to normal.”“I’m still considering forgiving you,” I corrected.“That’s still good by me.”“There’s one more person you have to apologize to, you know that, right?” I asked.“We talked already. We’re good.”“Oh, really? He never told me,” I said, a small sting of betrayal poking at me.“Sorry about that. He’s just that way,” Dam explained.“Noted.”“So…” he started, but I shut him

Chapter: Chapter 20The first day of exams arrived faster than I expected. My heart was racing before I even got out of bed, and I could barely force down breakfast. The bread tasted dry, almost stale, but the real problem was the anxiety sitting tight in my stomach, rolling with every breath. Exams didn’t usually get to me like this, but it was my first time taking exams at Wyvern, and I had no idea what their style would be or how difficult the questions might get.By the time I reached the exam hall, the room felt like controlled chaos. Rows of desks had been spaced out in perfect lines, each one facing the front where two invigilators stood, stiff and watchful, attendance sheets held like weapons. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, a faint sound I’d never paid attention to during classes, but today it only sharpened the tension hanging in the air. The room looked the same as it always did, yet nothing about it felt familiar. Everything carried a weight it didn’t have before.Students shuffled in

Chapter: Chapter 19We hadn’t spoken for three days. And while a small part of me felt guilty about it, I tried not to care. Damian needed to understand that he couldn’t talk to me like that and get away with it. I appreciated our friendship, what we shared, what we were, but I wasn’t his girlfriend, and I wasn’t going to let him treat me like one or disrespect me as if I owed him something.That night after our fight, once my anger had cooled, I replayed everything in my head. Maybe he didn’t have to raise his voice the way he did, but… did I really have to tell him where I was going? Did I owe him that? The thought haunted me through most of the night, along with the memory of how I’d snapped at him. My words had come out like sharp blades, and afterward, I couldn’t shake the question: What was wrong with me?Still, I pushed it all aside. I didn’t have the mental space for emotional drama, not with exams closing in. I buried myself in schoolwork, determined to keep my scholarship intact. My nights were

Chapter: Chapter 13It’s been two days since the incident at school, two days since the threats, since my friends started ghosting me, and since that message from an unknown number appeared on my phone and then vanished into silence.Nothing has changed.I came to school Tuesday morning determined to fix things with the girls, ready to apologize if I had to, ready to smooth everything over. But they made their position clear almost immediately. They won’t talk to me unless I change my mind about the plan.Unfortunately for them, that isn’t going to happen.If anything, the threat should have been enough to scare me off. That’s probably what everyone expected. But stopping now would make me look weak, and I refuse to give anyone that satisfaction.Still, I haven’t had another opportunity to get under Owen’s skin since then. Not a single one. But I’m hopeful.Work has been crazy, too. I’m still training at Flavoury Bites, and it’s honestly more stressful than I expected. None of it is something I’m used to

Chapter: Chapter 12The ride to my place is too quiet, the kind of silence that presses in on you, that makes your chest tighten. I can feel their eyes on me the entire way. It’s heavy and unblinking, but I don’t speak. Not with Luca in the car.When we finally pull up, everyone steps out except Luca. Mila waves at him, a soft smile on her face.“I’ll call you later,” she says.He nods, lingering for a moment before driving off.The moment the door closes behind us, the girls swarm in, full of questions and urgency. I hold up my hand, signaling for us to go to my room. What I need to say requires space. Privacy.As soon as the door clicks shut, their voices erupt.“Spill.”I take a deep breath and tell them everything. Every detail of my encounter with the girls, right up until Luca found me.When I finish, the room falls silent. They just stare at me, as if the words are too heavy to carry, too frightening to respond to.Finally, Star speaks. Her voice is calm but firm.“Okay. I’ll be the one to say it

Chapter: Chapter 11My day goes on normally after that, until lunchtime, when I head to the restroom before going to get my food.When I finish and step out to wash my hands, I see him, he’s standing in front of a bathroom stall.My heart skips instantly. Somewhere along the way, my mind had buried the fact that I had a problem with someone. The fear I thought I’d shaken off rushes back all at once, pounding through my chest.He doesn’t do anything. He just stands there and stares at me, and somehow that makes it worse.I stay rooted to the spot, my thoughts spiraling. He’s in the girls’ bathroom. And he’s alone. Not with his crew.Eventually, he speaks.“Chloe-Anne Collins.” He says my full name like he expects me to answer.I don’t.“Cat cut your tongue?” he adds. “It couldn’t do that in class?”Still nothing. My mouth stays shut, heavy and useless, like it actually has been cut.“Don’t do that again in class,” he says quietly.I blink once. “Do what?” The words are meant to come out confident. But the

Chapter: Chapter 10I step out through my broken doorway and head downstairs for school. I pass my parents in the living room without sparing them a glance. Somehow, they are always fighting and always in the same room at the same time, like conflict is the only thing holding them together.I hear them call my name, trying to talk to me, but I don’t respond, not after yesterday. It isn’t going to be that easy.The bus arrives, and I climb on without looking back. During the ride, I prepare myself over and over in my head. I’m not going to be scared today. I hold on to the same reckless energy I had last night, the one that doesn’t flinch.At school, I pass him in the hallway like I do every other day. I don’t react. I don’t look at him. I don’t do anything. If he does something in return, I don’t see it or hear it. I keep moving.I settle into class, and about ten minutes later, my friends rush in. They surround my desk almost immediately, all asking the same question.“What next?”I shake my head. I don

Chapter: Chapter 9When I finish eating, I wait a little for my food to settle before making my way home. Outside, I glance down and notice a stain on my top, and I realize that despite how careful I was, I still managed to spill something on myself.When I get home, though, something feels off. Both of my parents’ cars are parked outside. That’s strange, they’re rarely back this early.I walk toward the entrance, and suddenly everything makes sense. They cut their holiday short because they were fighting again. Not that they even went to the same place in the first place.“You’re so dumb, oh my God, I wish I could leave your sorry ass,” my mom shouts from the living room.“What’s stopping you then?” my dad yells back. “Who’s holding you captive? Fucking leave if you want to.”“So you can run to court and take my money? I’ll be damned.”“Who wants your money? I’ve got mine. And I thought you were staying for your daughter,” my dad says, just as I step into the living room.The timing is almost funny.I

Chapter: Chapter 8My altercation with Owen yesterday scared me, shook me, even, but it also gave me the courage to keep going with my plan. It was working. If he hadn’t reacted at all, that would’ve felt like a complete failure.I’m in my room now. I only went downstairs once, around ten this morning, just long enough to grab breakfast, a bowl of cereal, and cold milk, same as always. It’s two in the afternoon, and I’m still here, lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to come up with my next move. So far, I’ve got nothing.I don’t want a repeat of the hallway encounter. That felt too subtle, too easy to dismiss. This time, I need it to be obvious. I need other people to notice. I need him to react differently, not just watch and decide to drop it like it doesn't matter. The only idea I’ve managed to circle back to is starting an argument with him in the hallway, over anything. But that could go wrong so fast. What if he retaliates immediately? What if he turns it on me before I even get my p
