Blurb:
She doesn’t remember her past, only her training. She can’t
talk, not that a good slave should speak out of turn. None of that matters when
she wakes up in the warm, rustic room. Her new master is distant but kind.
There’s only one problem: he doesn’t want her.
Longing for the shackles of safety, she pulls from the last
dregs of her will to prove her worth as a slave. It seems to be working. He
responds first to her body and next to her submission. The secrets of his past
haunt the cabin, fraying the tightening bond between Master and slave, but it
is her own memories that may finally unravel it.
This book contains a bonus short story Escape, set in the same
dark erotica world.

Excerpt (strong sexual content)
Her training
wasn’t about how to stand or to suck, not really. She had become an expert at
reading expressions, at decoding body language. He was a formidable cipher, but
she only needed time.
Meanwhile, she
knew well enough what those heavy lids and flattened lips meant. She saw the
tinge of red on his cheeks. All of that would have told her, even if she hadn’t
seen the bulge in his wet jeans. He wanted to take her and this time, it wasn’t
in his sleep. It wasn’t in some awkward moment, born of pity—no. He had
initiated this. He had brought her to this magical place. No dream.
He seemed to
like her forwardness, like a release valve to the curious guilt he had about
her status, so she tentatively reached up to sweep a wet lock of hair from his
forehead. He remained still for her touch, his expression one of approving
forbearance. But when she went to stroke down his neck, he caught her wrist.
“I’m going to
ask you something, and I want you to say no if you don’t want it too. I’m
afraid you can’t. If I were better—stronger—I wouldn’t even make you choose,
but I…” He sighed. The moisture in the air beaded on his eyelashes. “It’s been
so long. I’ve waited so long.”
He pulled her
in deeper, until the water climbed her thighs and lapped at her cunt. They
followed the wall of the cave until it opened up onto a small beach that was
completely enclosed by cool stone and reflective water. Barely enough place for
both of them, but she knew that was the point. Here even the white noise of the
water was reduced, and all she could hear was her breath and his.
“I never
imagined a submissive as perfect as you,” he said lowly, but the words were as
commanding as she’d ever heard him. “I keep thinking you’re not real, that I’ll
wake up and find myself alone again. But this isn’t real, is it? You aren’t
really like this. They made you this way.”
Don’t make me think about it. Just want me.
“Jesus
Christ,” he said. “When you look at me, so damn trusting. It’s not right. I
know that, but I can’t stop. Will you let me, subby? Can I hurt you?”
