Welcome to my fucking world. My name is Kaston Cox and I’m a
criminal’s worst nightmare. Most people run from darkness, but I live in it,
require it, and thrive in the night. Some call me a monster, some a lover of
evil, and others, the devil himself, but they’re all wrong. I’m just a shadow
in the dark. I speak for the innocent when no one else will. Once I have marked
you, you better beg for forgiveness, because your time has run out…
Revenge is the ultimate wage for evil. Some just can’t stomach to do
it themselves. That’s where I come in. I am the ultimate judge when called upon
for justice. I will decide who lives and who dies. Blood may be on my hands,
but it’s not the blood of the innocent. Remorse is nowhere to be found. I don’t
give a shit if you understand. I can live with the man I look at every day in
the mirror. My soul was tainted the day I was conceived. You think you know me?
You have no fucking idea. I am who I am because of what they did to her, and to
him. They were my family. This was the only form of restitution he believed in.
I owed him everything. I took over the empire he built. This is how I repay
him. There was only one rule: never allow emotions to form. Numb and heartless
are the only two ways to live.
What I never included in the plan…was her.
My name is Lux Larsen. My life is as perfect as it can get. I’m a
partier, a seductress when it comes to something that I want, and the ultimate
sexual con artist. I use my body to get what I want and I’m not ashamed.
Designer tags are what I’m after. I love sex. I’m good at it. Fuck double
standards. Guys can do it, well guess what, so can I. I will never be caught
back on the other side of the tracks for as long as I live. I left that
hellhole years ago. I’ll do anything to stay away. You can call me a whore if
you want, but I just look at it as I’ve decided to become a player in a man’s
game, and I’m a fucking pro at it. Love is for the weak minded. Weak is
something I’ll never be.
I never anticipated the predator that would find me. I’m now his
prey…but I’m not sure I can run.
The world likes to think that love is only pure, only for those that
do good, but what no one considers is when bad has to be done to formulate a
different type of good. Two of the most random people can be a perfect match,
being placed together like pieces to a puzzle. Being in the wrong place at the
right time can be terrifying and it can also be exactly what is supposed to
happen, because sometimes…love is born in the dark.

Excerpt:
"Here.
Good play. I can't say with that view it was the worse time I've ever lost
money." He turns and walks away as they announce last call over the
speakers.
"Does
that mean I get half? I'd say I earned it."
I look
at Makayla as she turns toward me and hangs her legs over the side. "You
think so?"
"I
didn't see you pulling your dick out as bait. My pussy was the one on display
so you could win."
I move
in front of her and grab her chin, closing in toward her. She starts to close
her eyes until I speak. "Let's get one thing straight, baby. I would have
won whether your pussy was present or not, but since you helped by sending him
to the bathroom to take care of the hard-on you just created, I'll repay you in
orgasms here in a few minutes. How does that sound?"
She
grabs a handful of my shirt in her fist, pulling me closer. "Damn, just
take me already. I've never been so turned on in my life." She presses her
lips to mine and the alcohol takes over, directing all of my muscle movement. I
grab her hips and pull her toward me as I roughly kiss her back. She instantly
wraps her legs around my waist. I grind her against my now hardening cock.
She grabs the waistband of my pants, no longer concerned with where we
are.
"Starting
without me?"
I
release her lips and look at Danyel standing next to the pool table. It's just
now that I realize the bar is completely empty. "Where is the rest of
staff?"
"I
sent them home and locked the doors. Since I'm the manager I can do that. No
one ever complains when being sent home early at closing. No work for them and
a good time for me after a long night. It's a win/ win situation."
Makayla
groans out, clearly frustrated and not wanting to share. I nod for Danyel to
come closer and look at Makayla, locking my eyes with hers. "I'm your
partner. You trust me in the field, right?" She nods, her eyes flitting
from my eyes to my mouth and back again. "Trust me now. Be open-minded.
Just because you try something new doesn't mean you have a label. We're all
straight. Danyel probably likes dick more than you do. Got me?"
She
breathes deeply, clearly nervous, but nods lightly. "Yeah, okay. I'll
try...for you." I'm going to pretend I didn't hear longing in her voice and
hope like hell I don't regret this at work Monday.
I reach
out and hook my index finger over Danyel's waistband, pulling her closer. I
kiss her, starting things slow. She slides her tongue inside my mouth, allowing
each of our taste’s to mix, creating one of its own. I stop and turn to
Makayla, doing the same. She moans into my mouth before I release her lips.
"See. You taste her. You taste me. It's no different." I continue to
look at her. "Danyel. Come show her how gentle you can be. I want to
watch."
I step
back, allowing Danyel to take my place. I can see the disappointment written
all over her face, but she remains silent. Danyel touches her knee and skims
her fingertips up Makayla's thigh, tracing the side of her body until her hand
is on the side of Makayla's neck. "Relax, Makayla, and I'll reward you
later." Her shoulders immediately drop.
Danyel
lowers her face and kisses Makayla, slowly at first, but then you can tell the
moment Danyel slides her tongue between Makayla's lips, because she completely
lets go, and places her hands in Danyel's auburn hair, wanting more. My dick
presses against my pants, wanting free, as I watch two beautiful women
experiencing each other for the first time. The room is hazed from the alcohol,
but that's exactly where I need to be.
I walk up to Danyel's backside, pressing my front against her. I
press my lips next to her ear as they continue to kiss. "Do to her as I do
to you. Are we clear?"
About
the author:
I found books when I was going through a hard time in life. They
became my means of escape when things got bad. I realized quickly how much I
loved to take a backseat to someone else's life and watch the journey unfold.
That began my journey with books in November of 2012. I constantly had a book
open on my Kindle app. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself as
a writer, because I never thought I was creative enough. I'm living proof that
things will fall into place when they're meant to be. People will make their
way into our lives when we don't expect it, setting the path for what we are
meant to do. Never give up on people. Never stop taking a chance on others.
Someone took a chance on trusting me with her work when she didn't know me from
a stranger on the street and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime as our
relationship progressed, which led me to editing and writing as well. This is
my dream I never knew I had. As soon as I sat down and gave writing a shot, it
was like the floodgates opened. Now, I am lost in a world of fiction in my head,
new characters constantly screaming for their stories to be told. Continue to
dream and to go for them. No one ever found happiness by sitting on the
sidelines. Sometimes we have to take risks and put ourselves out there. Thank
you for all of your support, and may there be many books to come. XOXO- C
