All The Write Stuff: Obsidian Dreams

What is your deepest desire?

Obsidian Dreams

By A. Riebold

Genre: Dark Romance

Zara Whitaker is a 34-year-old graphic designer who seems to have everything going for her-on paper. But in reality, Zara is bored. She's tired of enduring the same dates with different men, men who leave her feeling unsatisfied both in and out of the bedroom. The endless cycle of self-centered partners and unfulfilled desires has left her in a state of perpetual sexual frustration.

Desperate for change, Zara confides in her best friend, Lena, who recently married and is basking in newlywed bliss. Lena hands her a simple business card with the name Obsidian Dreams on it, promising Zara that it's the answer to all her problems. Zara can't help but be skeptical-it sounds too good to be true.

But when she reaches out to Blade, the enigmatic and mysterious owner of Obsidian Dreams, Zara discovers someone who not only understands her but is eager to help her explore her deepest desires. That is, if she can figure out what those desires truly are...

Blade, on the other hand, is bored with the routine requests from his clients at Obsidian Dreams. He's been longing for someone who can push his boundaries, someone who can reignite the passion he's been missing. When he's contacted by 'Red'-Zara's chosen alias-he's convinced he's finally found the right person. With the help of his best friends, Raven and Shadow, the three of them set out to create an experience for Zara that she will never forget.

EXCERPT

xcerpt 1:

Her words hang in the air, ominous and heavy, but before I can even ask her what she means, everything happens at once. The back door slams shut as she reenters the party, leaving me alone in the night. A van skids to a sudden stop in front of me, its tires screeching against the pavement. The sliding door opens with a violent jerk, and before I can react, a bag is shoved over my head, plunging me into darkness.

Strong arms grab me, yanking me inside the van with a force that knocks the breath from my lungs. I struggle, panic flaring as I try to fight against the iron grip holding me, but it’s no use. The arms wrap around me like a vice, pressing me against a solid body as the van lurches forward, throwing me back into the man’s chest.

I feel his breath hot against my neck as he leans down to whisper, his voice smooth and taunting. “Do you remember your safe word?”

I can only nod, fear and adrenaline coursing through me, making it impossible to form words. He chuckles, the sound sending a shiver through me, and then I feel another set of hands—rough and deliberate—gripping my legs.

“I need words, Red!” His voice is more menacing this time, a sharp edge cutting through the darkness. I swallow hard, forcing myself to speak, even as my voice trembles.

“Mercy,” I mutter meekly, the word barely escaping my lips.

A laugh rings out from the front of the van, the driver’s voice dripping with amusement. “Good girl. It won’t be asked again. It’s up to you if you need to use it. You understand?”

“Yes,” I whisper, my voice barely audible beneath the pounding of my heart. His arms release me just as I hear the unmistakable sound of fabric tearing, the cool night air hitting my skin as I realize my dress is being cut away.

The van hits a bump, and I’m thrown back into the man’s lap, his hands gripping my hips tightly, grinding me against the hard length of his cock through his slacks. He purrs in my ear, his voice low and smooth, laced with dark promises. “You feel good here.” His grip tightens, his breath hot against the side of my neck. “We’re so excited to have a new plaything…”

The words send a shudder through me, a mix of fear and desire twisting in my gut. I’m caught between the terror of what’s happening and the thrill of the unknown, every nerve in my body on high alert as I try to process what’s unfolding around me. The van speeds through the night, the hum of the engine drowning out the chaos in my mind, but there’s no escaping the reality of what’s coming next.
