Release Date: 15th December 2013
Tour Organized by: As the Pages Turn
“All my life, I battled with the knowledge I was twisted… fucked up to want something so deliciously dark—wrong on so many levels. But then slave fifty-eight entered my world. Hissing, fighting, with a core of iron, she showed me an existence where two wrongs make a right."
Tess is Q’s completely. Q is Tess’s irrevocably. But now, they must learn the boundaries of their unconventional relationship, while Tess seeks vengeance on the men who sold her. Q made a blood-oath to deliver their corpses at Tess’s feet, and that’s just what he’ll do.
He may be a monster, but he’s Tess’s monster.
Excerpt
“Tess,” I growled, charging for the bed.
She let me come. She didn’t move away or try to hide under the covers. She
cocked her head. “I didn’t think you’d be sleeping with me. Not after what I said.”
She wore the same white T-shirt of mine to bed, and all I could think about was
her undressing before I strapped her to the cross—it felt like a century ago. We’d
been happy then. I’d been tormented and scared, but happy as Tess promised she’d
never leave.
I pinched my brow, trying to get my thoughts under control. “I’m not coming to
bed,
esclave.
You and I need to talk.”
She eyed me but nodded. “Okay.”
Goddammit, where was the fire? The argument that she didn’t want to talk
because I woke her in the dead of night. I needed to see tenacity and boldness.
Nothing shone on her face, no ounce of emotion.
I squeezed my eyes, trying to understand what the fuck I was doing here.
“Q...”
Her soft voice wrapped around my heart and I struck.
I didn’t mean to. I didn’t give my hand permission to strike her cheek. It just
happened. The force of her power over me made the monster fucking crazy. Denied
for so long, it’d done what I was terrified of happening all along. It took away my
control—made me hit her.
The soft sting in my palm and the resonating noise of connecting with Tess’s
cheek was pure heaven. I’d missed it for far too long. I opened my eyes, looking at
the red handprint on her skin. My cock instantly hardened.
The first fucking erection I’d had since I found Tess so ruined and weak.
Her eyes popped wide as she touched her cheek with gentle fingertips.
I waited, licking my lips—waiting for her crystal tears that tasted so sweet, but
her eyes remained dry. No salt, no amazement, or accusation.
“I know you’re trying to get an emotion out of me, Q. But...it won’t work.” She
broke eye contact. “I’ve tried. I hate what I’m doing to you. I loved you and can’t
stand to be the reason for your pain, but they made me—” She swallowed. “My
thoughts aren’t safe anymore. I can’t be myself because everything is wrapped up
in such evil.” She looked up. “I’m truly sorry but you have to let me go.”
The alcohol rolled in my stomach and I lost it completely. I’m not proud of what I
became. I never wanted to be so out of control, but I lost all elements of the man
and showed her just how much the beast fucking wanted her.
I ripped the sheets off and shoved her into the middle of the bed. The T-shirt
rode up, showing her flat belly, and I had to bite her. Had to mar that slightly
bruised flesh.
With a snarl, I buried my mouth against her stomach. She flinched as I bit hard.
I didn’t break the skin, but only because some miracle intervened.
I spread my entire weight over her, smothering her into the mattress. Eyes to
eyes, mouth to mouth, hips to hips.
