Ava Marcelline thought she understood control. She has been a sub for years, but currently without at Dom. Selene Draxler thought she wanted to be in the lifestyle, but didn't understand what that meant, especially to be a sub to Dominic Veynar.Dominic takes what he wants. He hand-picked them from a mansion full of available subs at one of his high profile and exclusive parties. He pushes their limits. They are bound by chains of desire, tested by jealousy, and broken by his ruthless touch. In his dungeon, pain is worship, obedience is survival, and surrender is the only freedom they'll ever know.Together, Ava and Selene learn that they have to work as a team. If one messes up, they both get punished. They both have to belong to him completely. There are no emotions and no love. They are under contract as subs and that's all they will ever be.This is a brutal, intoxicating BDSM dark erotica where devotion is demanded, boundaries are shattered, and submission is the price of being shared by the King.
