Introduction
"Get on your knees," Imset whispered in her ear, rolling a finger over her lips. She nodded, unable to speak as she lowered before him. His eyes twitched as she put her mouth to him, as if on instinct, or a lack of any more self-control.
"Fuc-" he inhaled, feeling the back of her throat press his tip suddenly. He pressed her head forward, feeling himself falling over the edge of his need. He spilled into her throat, watching her swallow then lick her lips, eyes dilated fully. He couldn't control himself anymore, pulling her up and slamming her into the shower wall.
"Do you want to know what it is to belong to me?" he asked, nipping at the skin of her neck. She nodded violently. She wanted all of it, whatever he would give, whatever it would mean.

When Aishaās friend Aiko goes missing during their senior year of college, no one seems to question it when the campus police sweep the case under the rug. No flyers. No search parties.

Aisha wants justice⦠and revenge. So badly, sheās willing to risk her very soul to get it. So when Aisha summons an ancient Egyptian death god in exchange for revenge, things get seriously twisted and unexpectedly sexy.

this book is finished. Not sure on #2, but you can find her on K****le, under the same name. Don't look for "dark desires" as a book as you'll get 4 or 5 different options/authors.
