<p><b>Cilla</b><br /> <br /> The Beast had Belle.Killian Black has me.<br /> <br /> How I got here doesn't matter, even though he says it does. Says it was my choice.<br /> <br /> He doesn't get it, though. It wasn't ever a choice for me. And now, he's changing the rules.<br /> <br /> The agreement was one month. For thirty days, I'd be his.<br /> <br /> He's no longer satisfied with my body alone, though. He wants my soul, too. Wants every part of me.<br /> <br /> And even though I can pretend I'm safe when I lie beneath him, this man does something to me. Something wicked. A thing that will break me.<br /> <br /> <b>Killian</b><br /> <br /> Cilla made the choice. She offered the deal. I just took her up on it. So what if I changed the rules half-way in? I'm not apologizing for it.<br /> <br /> See, Cilla and me, we're the same. She's dark. As dark as me. Something happened to her. Something bad. It damaged her.<br /> <br /> But it's not a hero she seeks. It's an avenging angel. A dark knight.<br /> <br /> That, I can do. I'll slay her dragons, but it'll cost her, because in return, I want everything. And I'll take it.<br /> <br /> She's mine.<br /> <br /> <i>Author's note: Killian: a Dark Mafia Romance was originally published as Captive Beauty.
