The Dark Side of the Moon
Fate. What a bitch.
You can't expect Melissa Turner to love a man unwilling. You can't expect Gregory Raine to want to settle down with one woman when he can have them all if he was to dare to.
But, no, you have to expect those things whenever Melissa learns of a world beyond the erotica and romance novels she always reads. You have to expect that she was going to be drawn to, what she likes to call, a sorry excuse of a 'human being'.
You have to expect that when Greg feels drawn to a woman he never even looked at if it wasn't for her body. You have to expect that when Gregory starts to feel like he wants to kill someone when Melissa is hurt.
Yeah. Fate. What. A. Bitch.

(Excerpt)
Stepping into the room, she could see this shadowy figure with his arms chained to the wall behind his bed. He looked god-like with his long, flowing, half-black, and half-silver hair and kaleidoscope green eyes. She recognized those eyes to be the same ones that belonged to the guy that caused her to blackout. 'Who exactly are you?' she thought as she stepped up to the foot of the figure's bed.
"Yours." It took her a split second to register what he said and she blushed.
"Do you want me to be?" she asked, sitting down on the edge and facing him.
"Now, that depends on what you mean. Do I want to be your mate? No, not really. Never wanted one. Do I want no one else to warm your bed, to hold you when you cry, to make you laugh from their stupidity, to make you scream louder than an angry banshee, to hear you curse worse than Gordon Ramsey on a bad day, or to see you smile at a little version of you? Most definitely. But not willingly." She blushed even harder at this.
"What I do want someone to do those things other than you?"
"Then let's hope my Dad has enough contacts to make sure that I don't end up in jail for murder. You would do the same if you were in my shoes."
"No, I wouldn't-"'Yeah, I would,' her voice echoed through the area they were in. 'I would want to rip that bitch's head off.'
"There was no use hiding that while you're here. You would have to tell the truth or it tells it for you," he said, blowing at the smoke that collected around his head. The way he did it made her immediately think that he should be in a boy band.
"Where exactly is here?" she asked, looking around. The wall that was behind his bed faded in a leafy forest and the chains were connected to nothing yet he was still stuck in place.
"You can feel it, too. It's almost like I'm in my room and in the woods behind the school that I go to at the same time. Almost like... we've been here before," he said, tilting his head to the side as if he was listening to something.
