Leah,

I pushed the door open and barely stepped into the hallway when his hand caught my wrist and slammed me into the wall so hard it knocked the air from my lungs.

I gasped.

His naked body pressed into mine, pinning me so tightly I could feel the thud of his heart. Or maybe it was mine.

"You really thought you could outrun me?" He growled, wrapping his fingers around my throat. A sick grin creeps his lips.

He forced my head up until I met his gaze. His breath was hot against my lips.

"I am going to make sure you understand what you did wrong, doll."

"Go to hell," I spat, driving the knife into his side without a second thought.

Warm blood spilt over my fingers.

His body jerked. He grunted.

Then he laughed. Wickedly.

"I didn't think you would actually stab me."

He knew.

His fingers clamped down harder on my neck. I gasped, clawing at his arm, but he didn't let up. I twisted the knife, shoving it in deeper.

He groaned, staggering back, one hand clutching the wound.

I didn't waste

  • Consumed By Darkness   042~ CHASING

    LeahMy whole body ached.Even the smallest movement made me wince.He went all out last night. Was he trying to make up for the days he wasn't around?That sex crazed demon.I cursed under my breath.My gaze drifted to the mirror across the room, and I turned away instantly. That damn mirror. My checks burned from the shame of a memory I wished I could erase from my mind.I buried my face in the pillow.The bathroom door creaked open. I peeked out from the pillow.Aiden stepped out, towel wrapped low around his hips, water dripping from his hair as he dried it with another towel. He looked perfectly fine. Meanwhile, I ached everywhere!"Look who's awake, my insatiable queen." He teased.I glared at him, cheeks burning hotter. "Don't call me that."He chuckled, approaching the bed. "Yes, my insatiable queen."He sat down beside me. I reached out and pinched his side, making him cry out dramatically."Bastard.""How are you feeling?" He asked, brushing hair from my face."Like I got

  • Consumed By Darkness   041~ LET YOU IN

    LeahI didn't dare move.I kept my eyes shut tight. I knew he was awake. I could feel him watching me. The warmth from his body pressed against my side, my cheek resting on his chest. My hand lying across his stomach.When did I move that close?I felt his fingers brush my hair from my face. The tips of his fingers making goosebumps spread along my arms.My heart was pounding so loud I bet he could hear it.He tilted my face up. I had no choice but to open my eyes. And there they were, those black hungry eyes."Good morning," he said, voice a deep lazy rumble.My heart skipped. I shifted, trying to roll away, needing space to think cause it was impossible with how close we were. But he gripped my waist, pulling me closer to him."Where do you think you're going, doll? After clinging to me all night?" He murmured, against my ear, the tip of his nose brushing the side of my neck. I shivered."I wasn't —" I started, but he cut me off with a sudden bite to my cheek, then a playful nip

  • Consumed By Darkness   040~ YET I

    LeahI had told myself several times that I would pretend like I didn't care when he came back. I would act indifferent, like I hadn't spent every day since he left waiting. When he came back, I had waited behind the door for him, watched the door knob turn but he didn't come in. I ended up opening it myself.I regret it now.My cheeks burned from shame. What if he thought I was desperate?I stole a glance at him where he sat on the sofa, still, while Storm cleaned his back. He hadn't made a sound, and he didn't look like he was in pain. Or maybe he was just good at hiding it.Earlier, when I saw his back and caught a glimpse of the red lashes crisscrossing his skin, a cold shiver had climbed up my legs. My breath hitched. I could almost hear the whip landing on his back.He endured this for seven days?When Freya told me about his punishment, I hadn't imagined anything close to this.A sick ache formed in my chest. He got hit because of me.No. No.This was his fault. Yes, everything

  • Consumed By Darkness   038~ UNINVITED

    Aiden The leash he thought he had on me snapped the second he touched her. He had used up all his chances with me.The public humiliation at the masquerade ball, I had let it go for her. Because I asked for it. But that mercy was dead now.I was stripped off my shirt. My arms spread wide, wrists chained to iron hooks bolted into stone. The head enforcer stepped behind me. He muttered, "Excuse me."The whip hissed through the air, the first lash sliding across my back. The pain followed immediately, sharp enough to jolt through my spin.I didn't scream.My jaw locked. Teeth clenched so tight, I feared it might crack.The second lash followed quickly, and so did the second with no time to prepare for the next.My nails dug into my palms.Pathetic.I was getting whipped like a dog and for a woman.How low have I fallen?Was she even worth it?I stared at the wall.She must have woken up by now.I chuckled. I bet she was happy I was gone. Probably wished I'd died.But this won't kill me

    AidenWhen Storm informed me that Mira wasn't answering her comm, my world tilted."What the fuck do you mean she's not answering?" I barked, already moving.My heart pounded as I shoved open the door to Julian's office. He wasn't there. It was some random asshole humping a woman. He lured me away from her.I dashed out, tearing down the hallway, down the stairs, into the grand hall. There was no sign of her.I'd only been gone for ten minutes. Ten fucking minutes and she was gone.I grabbed the nearest person, slamming his head into the table. The wood had cracked and split. Silence fell across the hall."Where is she?" I demanded.They stared at me. They must have thought I was a joke.I drew my gun and fired. The man dropped dead. Gaps erupted across the hall."I— I saw her on the second floor of the east wing."I didn't wait.I ran.My heart beat echoed in my ears. I prayed I wasn't too late. That he hadn't touched her. If he did, I was going to kill him.Two men stood outside the

    LeahFreya chuckled beside me. "Why is he acting like someone might snatch you away?"Well, your psychopath of a brother did threaten to feed my bones to me.She draped a hand over my shoulders. "Come on," she said with a bright smile. "Let's have fun without controlling men."Mira trailed behind us as she led the way into the grand hall."I disliked you the first time we met," she said.No shit."But now... I think you're not so bad."She smiled at me.Before I could reply, a waiteress bumped into me, her tray tilting forward. And spilt wine down the front of my dress, soaking it.My mouth parted in shock as I looked down at the mess. Heads were already turning toward the commotion, whispering.God, I hate this."Oh no," Freya gasped dramatically.The waitress dropped to her knees, bowing low with her forehead touching the ground. "I am so sorry!""Someone," Freya snapped her fingers, and a man in a black suit appeared. "Take her out and make sure she's punished.""You don't need to d
