Everyone has a dark side...
Dark Captive is an exclusive collection of dark erotic romance stories featuring alpha men with fierce sexual appetites. They'll stop at nothing to get what they want. And they have their sights on one woman. Possessive and bold, these heroes give their conquests exactly what they crave—to be taken … to be owned. Any resistance offered will be tested, but in the end love rules.
Kidnapping, abduction, and sexual slavery are just a few of the titillating taboo themes in this hand-picked anthology.
Captive Artist by N.J. Young
Carrie Wentworth never expected to be at the center of
a high-stakes art theft. She’s perfectly happy to run her prestigious art
gallery in a small mountain community and ogle the super hot janitor, Ellis
“Jax” Jackson.
But Jax is more than tall, dark, and bulging muscles.
He has an art heist to complete no matter what the cost. When Carrie catches
him in the act, he can’t bring himself to kill the pretty blonde. So instead,
he takes her captive. But he will have to figure out what’s more
important—money or his feelings for Carrie.
Excerpt:
With
a schwing, Jax pulled out a knife. It
wasn’t a huge knife, but it looked very sharp and very pointy.
Carrie
felt that prickle of fear again at the back of her neck. “What are you going to
do with that?”
Jax
rested the point of the knife against the hollow spot at the base of her throat
and bent his head until his face was mere centimeters from her own. Carrie drew
her tongue across her lips, and she could have sworn Jax’s eyes darkened as he
let out a little groan.
He
trailed the point of the knife lightly along the side of her neck and down her
throat, lower between her breasts. She knew she should be afraid, and deep
down, there was a part of her that was, but anxiety seemed to dissipate into an
emanating heat at the center of her very being, as something told her he
wouldn’t hurt her. She didn’t know why, didn’t know what it was, but she knew
he wouldn’t hurt her.
She
focused on his full lips, loving how they parted slightly. The heat from his
body seared her, and he wasn’t even touching her. And his scent … warm, musky,
and deliciously male. Searching his face, she locked eyes with him and held his
gaze for what seemed like an eternity, but was probably only mere seconds.
“Hold
still, love,” he finally said. Trailing the knife down her legs, he kept his
eyes on hers. She shivered at the sensation of the cool metal … or was she
shivering because of his nearness? When he reached her ankles, he sliced
through the tape in one quick jerk of the knife.
He
ripped the remnants of tape off, and Carrie breathed a sigh of relief since she
was able to separate her ankles. With the tape off, she could keep her balance
so much easier. When Jax stood up, she asked, “Aren’t you going to do my
wrists?”
With
a quick headshake, Jax slid the knife back into his ankle holster and stood up.
“Not quite yet. We need to talk first.”
He
looked so somber, but then again, this was a serious situation. Carrie watched
him stalk over to one of the two leather chairs across from the oak desk. Even
though they looked heavy, Jax lifted one as if it were light as a feather and
flipped it around to face her. He sat in it and crossed one ankle over his
knee.
“Okay.”
She took a shaky breath. “Talk. Tell me what’s going on. How did you end up
with a two-hundred-million-dollar painting? What was it doing in my gallery?
Whose house is this? And what … what are you going to do with me? Are you going
to uh…” she gave a tug at the tape on her wrists. “Are you going to kill me?”
