Obsession

by Harleigh Beck

If you lived in the shadows long enough, you soon called them your home. As wrong as it was, Mom’s abuse had become my comfort zone. I knew what to expect beneath her foul words and blows. I knew how to not feel.

What I have with Robbie is anything but easy. It’s a fucking nightmare I don’t want to wake up from. I’m in love with a monster, a cruel man who also loves deeply despite the evil acts committed at his fingertips—fingertips that have brought me orgasmic bliss.
