Running, running, running...Always running. I always thought of myself as a dreamer, a romantic really. I am a Taurus and though not many people might identify with their astrological sign, I always dreamed about sleeping and just laying out in the sun with a book in hand and nothing to do. As much as other people might like to think, I have no desire to run. Running is for psychopaths and I might be crazy but not that crazy. Every time I hate myself or I want to give up, I think about them. I need to do this. Not only for myself but also for them. I can't afford to give up or look back. I really hope they don't come looking for me. If they find me, all hell breaks loose.
Cardinal is a reverse-harem story, meaning our FMC ends up with multiple guys. HEA.
TW: Abuse, torture, sexual situations, mature language, mature situations. 18+ (I'm not a bouncer though so read with caution)

When that happens, all we can do is move forward and hope for a second chance at happiness. ***************************************************** I was backed up until I bumped right into the muscular and very bare chest behind me. "Tell me little one, is this something you want?" Is this real. No, things like this don't happen to me. I'm more likely to fall into a sink hole than have anything good really happen. I mean, good things have happened I guess, but not this good. "Tell him. Don't be shy now." Shy isn't the right word. I think I might be loosing my mind. This can't be real... can it?
