{MATURE +18} 

'I'm not like your previous partners, Ava.' 

'Why me?' I groan, struggling to wriggle out from under his massive body. Pausing, I meet his steely blue eyes and am ensnared by their intensity. 

'You were made for beasts like me.' 

*********************************** 
Returning to Black Mountain was my path to healing and closure. Yet, fate had other plans, plunging me into the heart of darkness. Here, forbidden desires and veiled secrets threaten to engulf me. Bound to those who thrive in shadows, I question: Can I ever break free? ******************************************** 

Welcome to 'Claimed,' a realm where the boundaries between desire and danger blur, where the shadows harbor more than mere darkness.

THE CLAIMING

The sun's rays, streaming through my window, tickle my face with its gentle heat as I roll over, the sheets crinkling beneath my weight. Stretching, my hand grazes the other side of the bed, which is cooling but still holds a lingering sense of warmth. Liam! 


Sitting up, the room tilting as my eyes adjust, I jump out of bed and quickly throw on a robe. Tying the sash in a knot, I head towards the lower level, searching for Liam. Taking the stairs two at a time, I notice that the house is clean. The remaining food is gone, and a note is resting on the dining table. 


I snatch up the piece of paper, my eyes devouring every word, a smile forming as I read. 


You looked so beautiful as you slept; I didn't have the heart to wake you. It pains me to say goodbye via a note, but I had to leave and return home. Family emergency. 


Thank you for sharing your evening with me. I feel honored that I could be there for you.
