While seeking revenge and amidst the sultry heat of their forbidden desires and secret fears, will Abigail find the love that will change her life forever? Or will she face the punishment of falling for her deceased best friend's fiancé? What happens when Remo finds out his little shy wallflower wife is a little sly fox? ——————————— ——————————— Excerpt ~ "Beg me to use you, Abby," he growled, his voice husky with desire. Abby's breath caught in her throat as she struggled to comply with his demand. With a mixture of arousal and trepidation, she managed to whisper, "Please ...Remo..." But Remo wasn't satisfied with just her words. He wanted to see her beg, to hear the desperation in her voice. With a wicked grin, he applied a bit more pressure to her thighs, a hint of pain mingling with pleasure. "Words, little sweet doll. Beg me," he commanded, his tone leaving no room for disobedience. The sensation sent a jolt of arousal coursing through Abby's veins, her resolve crumbling under Remo's intoxicating dominance. With a whimper of surrender, she found herself uttering the words he desired, her voice trembling with need. "Please...use me," she pleaded, her heart racing as she surrendered herself to the delicious torment of Remo's touch. Trigger warnings; Self-harm, mental illness, rough sexual acts etc.
The quiet hum of the car engine filled the silence as Remo and Abby made their way back home. The warmth of the car's heater kept the biting winter air at bay, but the atmosphere inside the vehicle was thick with unsaid words. Abby sat quietly in the passenger seat, her hands resting on her lap as she stared out the window, watching the snowflakes gently fall onto the windshield. The lights from passing cars and streetlamps cast soft glows across her face, but her expression was unreadable.
Remo kept his eyes on the road, glancing over at Abby every now and then. He could sense her internal struggle, the whirl of emotions she wasn't voicing. He knew today had been a lot for her—seeing Lily after all the bitterness, the surprise of her pregnancy, and the emotional reunion that had followed. It was a lot to process, even for Abby, who had been through more than most people could imagine.
After what felt like an eternity, Remo broke the silence.
