Diamond Lies

Elissa

I should never have slept with a stranger.
It was just one delicious night, and I was sure it was a one-off.
Until it wasn’t.

My life was never easy.
I work my @ss off to pay my bills.
The care for my mother with a brain injury.
My divorce lawyer’s fees.
The money my ex demands from me.

I keep pushing through on my own
until I’m abducted in the dead of the night and thrust into a horrid, living hell.

My abductor is a maddening contradiction;
Ruthless yet charming.
Dark yet captivating.
Smelling santal sin, and scarlet blood.

He takes me to a remote island where nobody can find me
and when least expected, sparks fly
and I’m lost in a world of sin I don’t want to leave.

But I can’t stay here.
I have a mother to care for.
But when my desperate attempt to escape fails, I get severely punished
taking me back to a swirling depth of dark pleasure that leaves my head reeling.

And I’m not even sure I want to leave anymore.
