Love has never been enough within these walls
Alexzander
Every day feels the same. Beaten down, conditioned to hurt others, and unable to feel anything resembling love. My existence is a hollow shell of what it could be, until I find her.
The woman I capture turns my world upside down. She’s unlike any victim I’ve taken before, and her will to survive leaves me intrigued. As I get to know her, I start to understand what’s right and just how much of my life has been wrong. But I can’t let her go, no matter how much I want to.
Ophelia’s become my obsession, and I know that I’ll do anything to keep her with me. Our bond is twisted and complicated, built on a foundation of captivity and control. It’s not healthy, but I can’t help how I feel.
She’s mine, and I won’t let anyone take her away from me.

Aaron was my husband—a dangerous man with a hero complex. Ryan came into my life when I needed him the most. He was different. Kind. Everything about him was not like anything I was used to.
Even though he saved me, I was still fractured. Broken. Craving all the wrong things despite the right thing being in front of me. I didn’t know how to love or be loved. I wasn’t sure who I was when I was forced to be sober. I had to be taught my worth when I felt worthless.
But Aaron wasn’t going to give up that easily. He wanted me back, and he would stop at nothing to get me. Ryan was strong and smart, though, and he made me feel safe. He was my savior. My hero. At least, that’s what I hoped he’d remain.
Would Ryan be everything I ever needed? Could he outsmart Aaron once more?

Meeting Aaron was the biggest mistake of my life. Not the addictions or my career choice, but the man I chose to marry. He wanted men to hurt me so he could ride in on the white horse to rescue me and take me away from the person he commanded to cause me all the pain in the first place. He was no hero. No white knight.
Aaron took it too far whenhe brought a man to our home who looked past the bruises and saw the broken woman beneath them. Ryan was fiercely protective from the moment he laid his eyes on me and received his assignment. His dark confidence was more intoxicating than any drug, and I found myself wanting more of it.
Would I be able to find my way out of the hell I was forced to call home?
Toxic Love is one of the first stories in Lauren Biel’s “After Dark” novellas. These stories will have more steam or spice in them than her novels.
