Afflicted by Nicole Fox

I’M AFFLICTED WITH THE NEED FOR CONTROL.

Koen
She chose the wrong man to beg for help.
I’m not the one she wants.
She’s looking for a saint, a nice guy.
But the closest I’ve been to a bleeding heart is when I ripped the organs from my enemies’ chests.
And yet, here she is.
She’s a queen of chaos spinning webs of lies.
But every time I try to dismiss her, she finds a way to stick around.
Fine. Have it your way, princess.
If you’re going to be here, you’re going to do things my way.
You’ll kneel when I order it.
Strip when I ask.
Moan when I command.
This is my world, and as long as you’re in it, you will do exactly as I say.

Jace
I didn’t ask for any of this.
I didn’t ask to be a working girl.
I didn’t ask to watch my pimp murder my little brother in cold blood.
Most of all, I didn’t ask to run away… straight into the arms of Koen Baldwin, the man responsible for this entire sickening operation.
But I never had a choice.
I belong to Koen from the moment I meet him.
He’s a sinner, a bastard, a killer, a rogue.
He’s the reason I’m in this nightmare.
So, with nothing left to lose, I’ve got one mission in mind:
I’m going to do whatever it takes to get my revenge.
I’ll sleep with Koen.
I’ll help his business.
I’ll rally his men.
Hell, I’ll wash his goddamn laundry, if that’s what he wants.
