Summary

“Please.. l-let me go again.” They look so cute when they beg. But I hate a sore loser. I strike my palm across his face. He cries out. I grip his chin, squeezing as I force him to look up at me. His face is a mess of dirt, tears, and snot. “You run. I catch you. Those. Are. The rules.” Seth Archmen, has no story. There's no tragic backstory or great love. No light at the the end of the tunnel. He's a detective because he just so happened to be good at it. Not because he wants to. But when his latest case results in captivity, he's forced to confront the desires he's kept hidden from himself for so long. Adam has never had trouble discarding another person. To him, people were just cogs in a machine that shouldn't have been running in the first place. That's exactly what Seth was. The latest victim in his collection. Another trophy to add to his shelf. ....Until he wasn't. Now Adam has something to lose, and he's determined to keep him.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Theobalmstrawberry. :) This is my first book on this platform, so please be kind. I do all the editing myself, so if you see any mistakes, feel free to correct me in the comments.

ALSO, A BIT OF A WARNING: This book will contain cursing, violence, obsessive behavior, and explicit sexual content. PLEASE READ AT YOUR DISCRETION.

This is a dark book, no ifs, ands, or buts. Also, although I am publishing this under dark romance, for the sake of simplicity, and the main characters do get intimate with each other, I do not consider this a romance. There's nothing romantic about abuse. All views in this story are not indicative of my own.

Anyways, take with that what you will. I won't respond to any mean comments, because ain't nobody got time for that.

Let Theobalmstrawberry know what you thought about this chapter!

Hi, I’m Fleming!
I just finished your story and absolutely loved it your characters, pacing, and atmosphere played out like a film. Your writing naturally lends itself to visual storytelling, and I’d love to help bring it to life as a comic or graphic novel.

I’m a professional Comic, Character, Webtoon, and Cover Artist currently open for commissions.
No pressure at all just an open invitation to collaborate!

Feel free to connect on Discord: patricia_castillo55
Looking forward to exploring the possibilities with you!

Biva: Quite good for a novella. Impressive writing style and we'll edited. Just one thing- Karla keeps referring herself to a stray cat and while at first it makes sense the analogy gets stale after a while.

karenfancp: I think Isla forgave him a little too soon, but it is probably what was needed for the story line. I do like how the story is unfolding, and the suspense that is building in whom is responsible for the attacks.
