Cruel As A Tree by Deiri Di

Escaping the school was only the beginning.

Now I’m caught in the sights of Lord Lorthion…a powerful Forest Lord with magic in his veins and dominance in his gaze.
He wants me as his mate, and he’s not subtle about it. He’s intense. Commanding. Unrelenting.
I told him to back off.
He did.
And I hated it.
I miss the fire in his touch, the hunger in his voice. But if I invite that heat back in, I won’t just get the male I met in the woods…I’ll get all of him. Every form he takes. Every part he’s kept hidden.
Am I ready for that?

This standalone novella with a HFN ending, like the others in this series, is cheeky. Monstrous kisses, chosenish proximity, and a happy-for-now ending await in this longer hot and cold novella set in the Chaos God universe. Perfect for readers who crave unrepentant aggression and full yes give me more consent. This is human written with human art.
