Despite being an incubus, Davin Murphy has been living by a code of strict celibacy by feeding off women's dreams and fantasies. And he was perfectly content to keep things that way, especially with a particular writer who tempted both the man and the demon in him.

Paige Summers, up and coming erotic romance author and complete realist, draws her inspiration from the muse that visits her in her dreams. His words and his touch sets her creativity free and her body aflame. Little does she know that her imaginary lover is not as imaginary as she thinks.

But when her life is threatened by inexplicable forces and her muse's look-a-like shows up at her doorstep offering protection, Paige must work with Davin to survive against the odds if she wants any semblance of her old life back.

The question is what's more important - her sanity or her heart.

Fearing the implications, she chose to hide the pregnancy and retreat from the public eye. Unbeknownst to her, he had become obsessed with finding her, convinced she was meant to be his wife.

Enthralled (unconventional obsession) by strvlight_sakura

"You know," he says, his voice low and controlled, sending a shiver down my spine, "I warned you what would happen if you tried to run away again. Do you remember that?" I shake my head, the movement slow and deliberate, as if I'm trying to convince him of my innocence. I want to believe that I can escape this situation, that my refusal to remember will somehow protect me. A flicker of irritation flashes in his eyes, and I know I've made a mistake. "You don't remember?" he repeats, his tone dripping with skepticism. "Are you telling me you just 'forgot'?" I nod, desperation creeping into my voice, but the truth is, I'm terrified. His expression hardens, jaw tightening, and I can sense the danger lurking beneath his calm facade as he steps closer. "Is that right?" he asks, his voice low and dangerous, wrapping around me like a vise. "Well, let me remind you then.". He reaches down, and before I can comprehend his intent, his hand comes down on my pussy in a harsh slap. The sound echoes through the room, a sharp crack that reverberates in my ears. Pain and pleasure blooms instantly, radiating through me, but it's nothing compared to the look in his eyes. I can feel myself dripping all over. Red. I can end this. But I can't. "Do you remember now?" he asks, his voice low, rumbling with authority that sends a chill down my spine. "Do you remember what happens when you disobey me?" he asked, his voice low and cold. ______ TROPES: Work place romance Mafia Romance Stalker romance Enemies to lovers One bed trope Marriage of convenience Accidentally pregnancy One night stand MMC obsessed Second chance Badass FMC
