"Back off, I'm not your property," I spat through gritted teeth, my eyes burning with fury. His smug grin infuriated me as he reached for my hair, causing me to flinch and avoid eye contact. "Listen carefully, my dear...," he drawled, a cruel gleam in his eyes. The pain threatening to escape my lips was barely contained when he spoke further. "I have possession over you, and I can discipline that delectable behind of yours so harshly, it'll leave marks... And you'll endure it all, begging for my attentions, because I'll make you scream until you plead to be my pawn." --- In the harrowing world of being sold into slavery at an auction, Arianna knew her life had changed forever.

Deep down, she longed for even his dominating touch, a dark desire that threatened to consume her. This was a tale of a forbidden love, fraught with triggering scenes.
