Aurora
It pains me to admit this, but my future captor is fucking hot.
Yes, future captor. Future, as in, within the next hour when he drags me away from here. Captor because that’s his job. Instantly, I hate him for two reasons: for my family sending him instead of coming themselves, and simply because he’s one of them—a monster from the same world that hasn’t acknowledged my existence in many years.
He’s larger than any man I’ve been around—not that that list is particularly long. Standing, he’d easily tower over me, and if I’m honest, would probably break me the moment he touches me. Dark hair and a handsome face. A strong jaw, which I’ve never understood the appeal of, but seeing him, I can appreciate the feature. He’s older than me, by a few years, that I can tell. Mid-twenties, perhaps?
Even his stance exudes power, and as much as I hate to admit it, I wouldn’t mind being overpowered by him. He stands with his back straight and his legs slightly spread. One hand is stretched toward me, while the other is by his side, resting on his hip. I assume there’s a weapon there.
When he speaks, it’s with the most delicious, deep rumble. The kind of voice I’ve imagined in my head in the past, with my fingers stroking between my legs.
“Aurora Corsetti. An honour. My name is Rosen Carrigan. I work for your brother, and I’ve come to take you home.”

USA Today Bestselling author M.L. Philpitt writes both dark romance and paranormal romance. When she’s not writing made-up realities, she’s reading them. She lives in Canada with her four pets and survives life with coffee and an obsession with fictional characters, especially the morally grey kind. By day, she masks herself as a therapist, and is still waiting for her Hogwarts letter so she can be sorted into her Ravenclaw house.
