SOME LIKE IT VIOLENT

(Deranged and Obsessed, 2)

A Twisted Romance

By Jenika Snow

I was a diagnosed psychopath with an

unrelenting hunger for violence. And my outlet

for that darkness was taking lives.

When a prison transfer put me in a position to escape, I seized the opportunity, which sparked an unyielding manhunt.

I wouldn’t be caged again, so I stalked and hunted until

I found refuge in a small, secluded house on the

outskirts of an isolated town.

I took that home as mine—and its owner. Evelina.

My plan was simple: hide out, stay unseen, and slip into the unknown, where I’d never be found again.

The days stretched into weeks, and something dangerous shifted inside me. My need to just survive turned into an obsession with Evelina. That twisted desire deepened and consumed me in ways I never expected.

What was meant to be a brief captivity until I moved on spiraled into a dark and disturbing connection. It blurred the line

between captor and captive.

Yet beneath Evelina’s fear lay a secret of her own—one that might prove she was far from the helpless damsel she portrayed.

It was a game of obsession and desire, and I was starting to think maybe she was just as deranged as I was.

Prologue

Evelina

Silence settled around the two of us, thick and intoxicating. I focused on Kane, who seemed wide awake now, but I could see his pupils were still dilated, so I knew he still wasn’t completely coherent, even if he seemed like it.

Although his expression was apathetic, I saw the veins in his arms flexing against his restraints. His head was lowered, but his eyes seemed so dark and were trained on me.

I couldn’t step much more than I already was, but the few steps I could take…I took them. The small filet knife was cool and steady in my hand. The blade caught the low light of the fire he’d started. I tilted my head, drinking him in.

God, he looked good, even better, because I tied him up and he was at my mercy.

He looked raw in the way I imagined someone primal and untamed would appear. His chest rose and fell with restrained power, the dominance pouring off of him despite Kane not having the power right now.

Or did he? Did I think I was the one in control and it was just a mirage?

“You look good like this,” I murmured, trailing the tip of the knife down his bare chest, just barely grazing the shirt stretched tight over his skin. “You’re so big…the biggest man I’ve ever seen, if I’m being honest.” My breath caught. “You look helpless, Kane.”

There was this darkness in his gaze as he held his stare with mine. I didn’t know what this look in his eyes was…until I did. I recognized it.

It was hunger.

“You’re insane,” he said low. Deep. His voice was rough, but it only made me smile and had my pussy clenching.
