Excerpt ...
I was sitting on the sofa, drinking my rum. It tasted mercifully
strong, so I went for it. Anything to numb my senses. I was wishing I’d never
come out of my crazy haze. Reality was scary as hell, and I was low on courage.
Rip was next to me, his arm around my shoulders. “I’m going to enjoy
having you around,” he’d said.
I wanted to down the rum in one. With no tolerance, I’d be drunk. Maybe
I’d be out completely. Looking down, I could see his cock bulge in his jeans.
The thought of being at the mercy of this man terrified me.
As I sipped at the iced rum, that awful beating came rushing back.
Mitch snarling, “Don Valentine says she’s to disappear.”
“She won’t come back from where I’m taking her.”
A boot in my ribs. “Make sure you fuck her up the ass from me.”
They had planned to have me tortured as a sex slave for the rest of my
life. I’d escaped them, only to land in exactly the same kind of trouble. It
made me sick to my stomach. Was a rape worse than a beating? Soon I’d find out
for myself.
