TAKEN BY THE DARK

"So Marriah, what's it going to be?" Dominic's hard voice broke me out of my thoughts.


I just started at him with what I hoped was defiance.


"Why are you doing this? What do you want?" I spat out.


His steely grey eyes studied me for a moment.


"You think I'm playing around?" He asked with a sneer causing me to shiver.


In reality it was the exact opposite. I knew Dominic Black never messed around, he did what he said. I was torn, Daniel was my best friend and I loved him. I knew if I called him he'd come here to save me and that most definitely meant he'd have to endanger his life. On the other hand there was Will, the man who had endangered his life so many times to save mine, the man who I'd come to care for deeply in. Although I'd only known him for a short period of time I knew I was already falling for him, and Dominic said he'd kill him if I didn't comply with his wishes. I had no doubt whatsoever that Dominic meant what he had said.
