Summary

She's an unwilling captive, but so is he. . Naked, blindfolded, laying on a bed padded in silken sheets with my body rendered unresponsive. Large hands grabbed my ankles and spread my legs wide open. “Why this one?” A nasal voice to my left whispered. I tried and failed at biting my tongue to keep from crying out, but I was paralyzed. “The Baron picked this one special,” a second voice snickered from below. “She’ll last a few rounds. The scrawny ones always snap like twigs after one use.” The two unseen men shared a salacious chuckle. “Besides,” the second cretin continued. “The past three gladiator champions preferred large tits. More flesh in their mouths. Doubt the new guy’s any different.” Then the men snatched off my blindfold and exited before my eyes could readjust. Ten nerve-wracking minutes later, after being trapped and frozen in the dark, an enormous door swung open, blinding me with red light. A massive silhouette of a man in the shape of a horned demon towered in the backlit doorway. He stomped in, growling, and eventually touched my bare legs. Claws!!! I wanted to scream, but my voice wouldn’t function. Then I realized there were wide metal cuffs strapped to my wrists. I wasn’t tied down, but the unwanted jewelry felt weighted. The large horned man dragged his calloused fingers up my thigh and shoved to make my flesh jiggle. I couldn’t hide my nakedness from reflexively flinching in the chill of the expansive dark bedroom. My fate was sealed. I belonged to this thing. I, Mina Cain, had become the champion gladiator’s personal plaything.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

This book will be leaving this platform before the end of 2026.

It’s getting edited, rewritten, & published under a new title that I will post when the new cover is complete.

But I will have a new book: Labyrinth taking it’s place.

Hi, Thanks for reading!

This is an ❗❗+18❗❗only story: Mature language, situations, sex, & sexy hijinks,etc...

I’ve marked all the extra steamy chapters with a🔥.

Please note, there is a genuine story but be aware that I’m not going to skimp on the steamy sections. Like all my other Erotic Romances, I devote an entire substantial chapter to a spicy scene. (and there are 10🔥 chapters in this one)

This book is marked as 18+Mature Content. Some chapters are more explicit than others but mature content might pop up anywhere.

This is a fast-paced sexy story that contains adult language & situations, and erotic scenes (MxF). Plus, there’s a happily ever after ending.

!!BE AWARE!!

I’ve been writing these novels for several years now and I recently made a leap in scaling back my freelance work to make time for writing. I’m happier overall and sleeping steady, but this means that I can no longer afford posting free books.

I’m working with an editor to publish my first book and will be posting other novels.

Chapters 1-6 of this book are free but the completed ch 7-29 are available through subscription Tier 1.
