I thought I was safe, free, but I never expected to find myself locked in a cage.
I’m in his territory. His prison.
The beast.
A fate worse than death awaits me if I can’t get away, so when the opportunity of salvation presents itself I grab it, even if I’m unsure if I can trust the hand I’m holding.
The only way out is through, exposing secrets and spilling blood.
Things aren’t how they appear. Nobody is what they seem.
Not even me.
Prologue - Somewhere in Chicago… The chains chafed my wrists, making me wish I were still in my cage. Though it lacked privacy, the cage at least had a bed, and in there I wasn’t restrained with my arms above my head. But I was in Domenico’s domain. The small bedroom-like area was created from a previous office. There was a lamp and a mattress with a blanket, but those were the only creature comforts. The rest of the room retained both the look and smell of the rest of the decaying structure. With no way to tell time, I wasn’t sure how long I’d been there. All I knew was that I was tired. Being held against my will caused spikes in my adrenaline, and the subsequent crashes left me drained. The small panic attacks had lessened over the past few weeks, but there was an undercurrent of strife, and I feared what would happen if things got out of control. I stared at the bed, wishing I were on it. All that did was cause the memories of him inside me to come slamming down. The absolute owning of my body by him and him alone. The way he made me come undone. Feelings that I shouldn’t have with his touch, but I did. Feelings I drowned in as he consumed me. I am Domenico’s…for now. And that was the thought that always sent questions spiraling out of control and a spike of fear to run through me. I was a caged bird. A pet awaiting a sentence bound to be more grim than any fairy-tale horror.
REVIEW
Abducted is the latest release in the Sinister Fairytales Collection and with this one we get a Mafia tale -- with a Beauty and the Beast twist!
One of my favorite things about this collection of stories is that though they are based on fairy tales, they each have their own dark and twisty side which makes them all the more compelling.
Arabella, Ari, is our Beauty - and she's run off from her mafia family, hiding and trying to find her own way, until she's abducted. Domenico is the Alpha Capo who stakes his claim on her.
Abducted is rife with secrets, lies, lust, and so much more. You'll be hooked from the start and on edge as these two figure out that their is so much between them.
