LOGINEvelyn“Careful!”I can’t help the word as it tumbles out of my mouth when Emma swings her legs over the edge of her bed. She stares at me like I’ve lost my mind.“As potentially over-protective as your friend and queen is being,” Dr. Zorinski says to Emma, “you really do need to take it easy. Don’t
EvelynThere are several empty cells between the converted dungeon hospital wing and the cell where Lucas sits. Max shared that he’s been eating and drinking everything they bring him, but otherwise Lucas hasn’t been speaking.I observe him for a minute, unable to make him out very well in the dim d
EvelynI hold back my own excited tears as I approach the dungeon a few days later. Only about half the prisoners provided us with their names, and I’m hoping what we do today changes that.Not because I need their names. Because them providing it is a symbol of growing trust.I open the dungeon doo

EvelynDespite the generous batch of serotonin Alexander gave me by fucking me senseless not twenty minutes ago, my mood is taking a sharp nosedive as I face the reality of finding him someone to replace me. It’s a depressing reminder that I need to get out of here anyway.I try to be subtle about t
“Alexander?”“Yes?”I smile, leaning into the warm spray. “Care to join me?”It’s reckless how much I’m allowing us to have sex. How much I’m giving in to the mate bond. He just feels so good though.When push comes to shove, I’m sure I’ll be able to overlook great sex to get back home. After all, A
A good person would tell her she doesn’t have a chance with me. But something tells me not to say anything.
