Crimson Chains | 18+

"One word, Dove. Or I'll draw it out of you another way." He flashes a fanged grin. "Drop by drop."

I sputter as his grip remains strong, my vision blurring at the edges. Panic welled in my stomach as the room began to spin. He was too strong, and I had no choice but to bend to him. I submitted, my voice breaking as I forced out-

"Annabella."

His grin loosened immediately, but his hands stayed resting around my neck, my fingers still wrapped around his wrists helplessly. I gasped for breath, panting with relief.

His eyes drank in the sight, a smirk ever present. There was a dark satisfaction in his face as he tested my name on his lips.

"Annabella. Good girl."

------

In a world where vampires rule over humans, using them as servants, laborers, and pets, Annabella has always kept her head down. Ordinary. Forgettable. Safe.

But when she witnesses an act of cruelty, her reckless defiance gets the better of her. She is taken to the powerful and dangerous lord of the land, Calix Holloway. Three centuries old, beautiful and cruel, Calix never cared for the countless humans below him ... until her.

Dragged into the vampire's lair, Annabella swore she would not break. Yet, the more she resists, the more Calix hungers for her spirit as much as her blood. What begins as punishment twists into possession, and Annabella must face the most dangerous truth of all: Sometimes surrender feels like desire.
