Cry, Little Dove by I.M. Wraith

ERICA
“Getting kidnapped saved my life… and I might just be falling for my captor.
When I hit rock bottom, I decide to end it all, but during my last night I have a single wish: One fleeting moment of pleasure with a handsome stranger.
No names. No feelings. Just sex.
I get my wish when I meet the charming Dr. Morrow, but I pay a price worse than death.
Captivity awaits me, invisible chains binding me to a beautiful monster. It’s a contract with the devil, written in my blood and tears, yet the longer I stare into the bottomless abyss of Cain’s soul, the more I yearn for his brutal shadows.
Can I truly love a man who is addicted to my pain?”

CAIN
“I’ve never been in love.
My heart only races when blood flows beneath my scalpel and my victim’s last breath rattles in their chest. It’s pure euphoria.
But when I see her for the first time, my pulse pounds and electricity runs beneath my skin. I want to rip every shred of purity from her soul, excise every scrap of virtue from her flesh like a tumor, and bathe her in my crimson shadows. I think I want to kill her.
I’m wrong.
From the very beginning, all I really crave is to love her, but I’m a cruel, violent man and I don’t ask for permission. I simply take what I desire.

Erica belongs to me, dead or alive, and I’ll never let her go. I’ll do anything to keep my little dove in her cage.”
