Charlotte
After a failed marriage, all I see in my future is achieving my lifelong dream of opening a bakery.
Getting kidnapped, of course, wasn't on my agenda. And if it isn't insane enough that the man behind it is the same one who gave me a chance to pursue my dream, there is this based-on-nothing certainty that he will not harm me. He will hurt me though — he is clueless about love.
S. is a killer and a kind human being. A monster and a victim. He scares me, and I want him at the same time. Who is this man?
S
I see her. Worse, she sees me. Past my appearance and into my dark soul. And this time, I believe obsession will consume me and I won't be able to resist her urge to keep her for myself.
With just one look she's changed everything. She has given me a glimpse into a life I didn't believe it was possible. Not for someone like me. Not for someone who's just a killer. Someone the world knows only as S.
I've never cared. Until now. Until her. Caring is a mistake. One I can't afford to make. One that may be too late to avoid.
Excerpt
He guides me in front of the mirror, standing behind me.
“What do you see?”
I look, but the only thing that catches my attention is his eyes, staring at my reflection.
“You should stop, kitten. I told you already. What do you see?”
“Me,” I reply, lowering my eyes.
“Not enough. What do you see?”
“I don't know!”
His hand comes from behind me and raises my chin, but I shut my eyes. I don't like to look at myself; I don't know what he wants, and I am tired of this game.
His breath fans over my neck. “Open your eyes, kitten. I know you want to lash out. What will it gain you, though? In the end, you'll do as I say.”
With tears blurring my vision, I obey.
What do I see? A thirty-something woman, brownish messy hair, swampy eyes, a body that has never been thin, boobs that are too big to be tasteful. That's what I see.
“Do you want to know what I see, kitten?” No, I don't. I want to get dressed and run away.
“I see chestnut luscious locks that always smell good.” S trails his hand through my messy hair.
“I see piercing green eyes all too knowing.” His fingers caress my eyebrows and slide down my cheek to brush my lips.
“I see full lips that scream sin in a face that says angel.”
His hand spreads over my belly. “I see a silly girl who has lost too much weight running after someone else's body ideal. And this is what just comes off the top of my head, kitten.”
I have forgotten to breathe, and when he turns me around, I gasp.
“And I see a girl who must choose if to get fucked properly tonight or not.”
