Theirs for the Taking

 “She’s mine now. I’m taking her for myself to do with as I please.”

Those are the words the masked man sneers to my mother right before he kidnaps me and hides me away at the Southern Sadists MC compound. His threats keep me from running even though my past trauma begs me to flee.

I shouldn’t want him like I do. But the ruse of our fake relationship has lines blurring with every pretended touch of affection, and the way his hungry gaze practically devours me.

His dominance has me submitting more than just my fragile past, along with my tears, my anger, and my pleasure. But there’s one secret I haven’t shared with him, and if he finds out, the real danger I’ll face will be worse than the monster I was meant to marry.

 I should’ve known better than to think I could run from him.

Ringo’s rejection cuts deep, but nothing matters more than staying alive. Too bad that’s easier said than done with the Southern Sadists MC, a crooked cop, my attackers, and even my parents all hunting me down.

I knew they’d find me eventually, but never expected them to come this fast with such ruthlessness. As I fight to escape, I land in the hands of two terrifying men and some old friends who, unbeknownst to me, have been watching my back all along.

But Ringo is a force of his own. And no matter how far I run, he won’t let me go.

This all started when I was kidnapped, saving me from a forced marriage to a vile beast. So why am I now being forced to marry a monster? 

 They still hunt me, even after taking away everything I have left to live for.

Crippled with grief, my shattered heart barely beats, yet my attackers still have me in their sights. I could give up. Throw it all in and end it all now. That would be easier than living like this.

Ringo refuses to give up on me though, taking every hit I throw his way like his own personal punishment. I’m beyond angry. Almost unrecognisable. The sweet girl I once was is gone, and in its place is someone I’m not sure Ringo can love.

My goal has now changed. My life now prisoner to my obsession of destroying the men who dared to hurt my little baby girl. I won’t stop until every last one of them bleeds, even if it costs me my marriage… even if it burns every relationship I’ve ever had to the ground.
