He's the one man who knows his wife's weaknesses and exploits them with a quiet intensity, stirring both her frustration and desire. Their marriage is a constant battleground, scarred by a shared tragedy neither can overcome.

She was all mouth. He was all action. And somehow, they understood each other perfectly. Raven Cross talks fast, moves louder, and keeps her heart guarded behind the kind of attitude that makes most men fold. Scourge? He doesn't talk much at all. Known only by the name that made him a quiet legend in the streets, Donnell Mercer lives on the edge of respect, fear, and secrets.

And when the lines blur between casual and something more, neither of them are ready for what it exposes. This is a spinoff from the book My Slime.
