Craving Them (Book 2 in the 'Need Series') by RaNdOmLyCrEaTiVe

(Book 2 of the 'Need Series') Going to prison can really put a damper on an up and coming relationship. Especially when he hadn't even had the chance to properly talk to his lovers before he was whisked away. Aron thought the most painful thing he would ever have to go through is the sexual abuse. He was wrong. He was very wrong. Because looking into the eyes of his lovers as he was being dragged away was much much worse than anything physical he could ever go through. 1 year for overkill. Something given to him even after he had released the video footage from his cameras in his apartment. Getting out would be the true start of the relationship he should have long ago selfishly never let go. This time he won't let his mind control his needs.
