Obsession by E.L. Beth Miranda Branford never imagined her life would be reduced to chains, shadows, and the cruel grip of a man who finds pleasure in her pain. Kidnapped and caged, she's stripped of freedom and left at the mercy of Alec DeAngelo-a dangerously beautiful man with demons darker than night. He claims her. Not for ransom. Not for revenge. But for desire. Alec had buried his urges long ago, locking them away behind power and control. But Miranda... Miranda awakens something feral in him. Her innocence, her defiance, her trembling submission-she becomes the drug he never intended to crave. The more he punishes her, the more she aches for him. The more she aches, the more he unravels. As obsession spirals into a twisted bond neither of them can sever, the line between torment and pleasure blurs. But in a world built on dominance and addiction, what happens when the captive begins to fall for her captor... and the captor realizes he may never let her go? Dark. Addictive. Consuming. Obsession is a gripping tale of carnal desires, blurred morality, and the dangerous kind of love that thrives in the dark. WARNING: This is an adults only book, it contains material of forced sex and submission.

I sucked on her bottom lip moving to her neck, sucking and kissing the soft light brown skin leaving bright red hickeys. "Luke... Don't!" she shuttered. "Mmm," I chuckled "I like when you say my name like that."
