Darkest Craving by Rhea Harp

Victoria Romanov is going to be my wife.

Even if she doesn’t know it yet.

Her father betrayed me.

So I’ll use her as the stepping stone to my throne.

She’s so untouched, so naive…

It’s almost a shame I have to ruin her.

At first, she fights me.

Claws at the cage I’ve locked her in.

I do everything to break my enemy’s daughter.

But I can see the way she loves it…

Under her feisty demeanor,

Her innate submission calls out to the darkness in me,

Begging to be taken, used, and stripped of control.

And soon enough, I begin to crave her.

My wife was always meant to be just a pawn in this game.

But I’m starting to realize she’s becoming queen…

And she might just be my downfall.
