Nyara wasn't looking for anything serious. Just a little text here and there, a couple of dates, a few phone calls, you know... the basics. A little attention never hurt anybody.
Then Solomon came along offering consistency, intention, truth. A little more than her expectations would allow for.
What starts off as a casual slow burn turns into what Nyara could only describe as a dream come true. It was steady, yet unfamiliar. It was the kind of connection that didn't ask for permission, it just sprouted all on its own.
Every time she thought she had it under control, his smile reminded her that she didn't.
Does her peace still need protecting or has it come to her in the form of a 6 foot 1, dark skinned man?

Stockholm Syndrome
Naomi Monet was a normal American girl living in residential New York. Her life was average; she had a boyfriend, family, dog, was attending university- when it suddenly wasn't. She was plucked from the streets and forced into a completely different life, being trafficked by a multi-million dollar company. And her captor? A morally grey man who goes by the name Brandon, tasked to keep her healthy, happy, and trapped. Will she continue to fight against his control over her? Or succumb to a mental decay which seems to slowly be convincing her that he 'cares for and protects' her? ________________________________________________ "So you're my handler, but are you also the one who kidnapped me?" He drew his gaze away from mine, back to his computer screen and nodded. "Yes." My heart sank. I was hopeful that maybe he wasn't the one who committed the act, but was only assigned to me after the fact. That way I could hold on to the hope that he's not an entire monster. Now I can see that he is, all the way down to the core. I swallowed my fear as I recalled the sensations that came over me when his hand wrapped around my mouth. A moment I'll never ever forget. "U-uhm why, why me?" I stuttered as I feared he'd snap at me for all my questions, but instead he closed his laptop and sat back in his chair. "Because you're pretty."Complete

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive.
