One she could quickly become addicted to. The kind she could end up dying for. Abigail Lane was a woman on the run. Ambiguity her closest friend.

Although Lillian was, in theory, the perfect submissive, she simply was not perfectly compatible with Nathaniel Lenova. And he craved perfection. He craved obedience. And he absolutely craved the feeling of dominating. He never expected to find everything in one girl: Adalia Davenport. When this middle-class girl gets a job as his housekeeper, she doesn't know what to expect; after all, she had never really been part of the rich class. She never expected Mr. Lenova to be a Dom. She never expected to accidentally walk into his playroom. And she most definitely did not expect him to offer to dominate her. *NC-17. BDSM. Don't act surprised that it is.*

"Stop? Don't order me around, human." He snarled, baring his teeth at me. I whimpered a little, nodding and complying with his command. I wasn't one to whimper and not say a word. I was one that would fight back and not agree to what anyone said. I spat in his face, in an attempt to get out of his grip. It worked for a second as he let go and wiped his face vigorously. But that second wasn't long enough, he grabbed my face and brought his own closer to mine. "You listen here, human. No one disrespects me. I am going to make you pay, you lowly creature!" He barked in my face, his eyes turning a shade that I had never witnessed before. Suddenly I was thrown into the alleyway that was beside us. I landed on my side which made me take in a sharp breath. He picked me up by the throat and pressed me up against the hard brick wall. He wrapped one arm around my waist and let go of my neck to then knot his fingers into my hair and pull it backwards - exposing my décolletage. He bent his head down, while I was writhing in agony as to what would happen to me. I felt a pair of lips press against my collarbone, making shivers run down my spine. I then felt his hot tongue on my neck, slowly licking up then back down to the centre. I felt two sharp canines graze my skin and in less then a second those two canines pierced my skin, making me scream out in pain. "You are my play thing."

It is now the year of 3015. A whole century has past. Cannibalism controls every thought, every action that anyone makes. Survival reigns over the land and all its occupants with an unforgiving hold. The extinction of the human race are kept on the brink of control thanks to the military. And the Damned. They eat their own birth race. Ethically, they are human. In the 20th century, these monsters were called cannibals. The Damned contain no soul, no consciousness, no glimmer of anything essentially human. Except their appearance. They have lured many humans out like bears being attracted to honey. Then, they devour us. Cooked, mashed, half-alive, it doesn't matter. Humans are food. Livestock that has found a way to survive temporarily. Humanity's population is not even 1/9ths of what it had been in our most glorious days on the 20th century. The wickedness of man is unending. These animals formed their own pack that was eventually dubbed as the Damned. Slowly but surely, the Damned consumed us. We, what was left of us, retreated to two corners of every continent -- the East and West Coasts. There, humans only have to fight on one front because the Damned cannot come in contact with salt water. They burn. Perhaps it is a manifestation of their sins. Either way, humanity has held up their end for so long, but our population is decreasing. Less babies are born every year, and the death rate continues to rise. Humanity is nearly extinct. Soon, the word human will be history. However, if the Damned think we are going without a fight, they are wrong. It is time to make humanity's last stand.
