Pounded in the Patch (Dark Nights Collection)

by Dana LeeAnn

Fear is the ultimate aphrodisiac when you control every variable. And she is safe. Safer than she's ever been in her life. Because I would kill anyone who tried to hurt her. I would burn down cities to keep her from harm. But I'll also ensure she never escapes from what we're about to become. I just have to break her a little… to help her understand.

I hope you're ready to be hunted by someone who's already decided you'll never get away.

"I hate that I want this," I whisper, the words torn from deep inside me. "I hate that my body responds to you. I hate that I don’t even want to escape you."

Please don't ever stop. Please keep me here in this dark fairy tale forever.

"I promise to keep hunting you for the rest of our lives," Luke says, and I can see tears gathering in his green eyes. "I promise to keep surprising you, keep challenging you, keep making you feel desired and treasured and absolutely essential to my existence."
