DENY · A Dark Romance

SHE WON’T LAST LONG IF SHE DENIES ME MY DESIRES.

I’m not the kind of man who takes “no” for an answer.

After the hellish torments I’ve suffered, I learned the hard way that the world doesn’t give you things just because you asked.

You must take them.

I’ve built a club and a career that way.

By seizing what I want, bit by bit, until I have everything I could dream of.

Everything but her.

The one who got away.

I’ve tried to bury the memory of her in countless club girls and the twisted thrill of violence.

But life has a sick sense of humor, and Angel refuses to be forgotten.

Imagine my surprise when I interrupt a mugging, only to realize that the damsel in distress is my former flame.

Years haven’t touched her beauty, nor my desire to own it.

I want to hold her as badly as I did the day I first laid eyes on that gorgeous frame.

I want to claim her.

To f*ck her senseless.

And yet, as surreal as all this is, she’s only the first of two surprising discoveries.

It turns out…

She has a son.

Correction – *I have a son.*

The realization leaves me stunned and furious.

She will pay for keeping this from me.

For keeping *herself* from me.

The world can go to hell.

I have scores to settle.
