HE SEETHES WITH RAW POWER THE FIRST TIME I SEE HIM—pure
menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He’s dangerous.
He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
So I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always
do, because I have secrets, too. Then he shows up in the
prison writing class I have to teach and he blows me away
with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and
it's getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too
close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards
holding him back. At night, I can’t stop thinking about him.
But that’s the thing about an animal in a cage—you never
know when he’ll bite. He might use you to escape. He might
even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your mouth,
so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so
hard, you can’t think.
And you might crave him more than your next breath.
WARNING: PRISONER is a dark romance
that explores dubious consent and captivity. Not intended
