Chains That Bind
Pretty boy Theo has been kidnapped by sinister mob boss Luce Blackwood. Why? Theo's magical Gift means he can talk hitmen into pacifists and vampires into veganism. And his role as the third leg of New York City's Triad compels him to fight evil wherever he sees it.
That's why Luce hired mercenary mage Damien Creed to put the gag order on Theo. Now Theo is chained up and hanging by his wrists in the middle of an abandoned warehouse, mute and helpless, forced to wait for his friends to come and rescue him... and fall into Luce's trap.
There's only one thing Luce didn't account for--Damien Creed is Theo's ex-boyfriend. Damien may have left Theo to die that one time, but Theo can't get over Damien's piercing green stare. Lucky for him, Damien looks like he's not over Theo, either. He even seems willing to betray Luce--but at what cost?
Enjoy this first 8500-word installment of Calista Jinx's debut series, Sin & Virtue! Snarky heroes, smoldering love interests, and kinky sex magic--it'll leave you begging for more. Adults only!
Excerpt:
I was suddenly afraid of what Damien would tell me to do. Clearly he had orchestrated this moment. He had designed my chains, might even have crafted them himself, all for the express purpose of getting me bound up and forced to make a choice. But why?
That was the problem with mercenaries like him. In many ways I was less afraid of Luce, because Luce’s empire made him predictable. He acted to protect it. Damien’s interests changed according to the highest bidder, but there was always something underlying his actions, some inscrutable personal desire that I had never been able to figure out. The minute I thought I knew what Damien wanted, it seemed like he changed his mind just to be contrary.
Right now I knew that for whatever reason, he wanted me. I had no idea what for. But at this point? I would do anything Damien told me to, and I would beg for more.
By then Damien had realized just how yielding I was prepared to be, because he cupped my jaw and tipped my face up so that when he spoke, his lips brushed mine.
“I think you misunderstand, Theo.” He pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of my mouth and my eyes fluttered closed. I gasped and tried to follow his lips as they fell away. “The only way to break the chains that bind you is with your pleasure.”
I uttered something raw and hungry, tilting my head to the side and back, inviting him to press his mouth against my jaw.
“Would you like me to help you with that?” he asked, obliging my silent request. One of his hands trailed down the front of my shirt, dragging at the thin material until his fingers tugged at the waist of my jeans.
Unthinking, I rolled my hips. My thighs rubbed against one of his legs, which he had inched forward and now inserted with animal certainty between my own. I whimpered at the sudden friction.
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes.’”
It was so totally a ‘yes.’
