Ryke Justice has lived his life in purgatory for the last ten years, but to him, it2527s just another day in the office.

That is until an Angel finally turns his head and becomes the envy of every girl there. She ignites his desires, stirring his black soul back to life, but is she strong enough to withstand his monster?

Excerpt:
“Welcome,
Eternity.” His voice has a deep baritone, and it seems to vibrate deep in my
bones. “Please come and take a seat.” His tone holds no room for argument and I
find my feet taking me to sit in the chair across from him before my brain
registers the motion. “I2527m going to tell you how things work here. I don2527t want
you to speak. You will hear me out, and I will answer any questions you have
after I2527ve finished. Do you understand?” I nod my head, too afraid to speak.
This man is pure evil. It emanates from him in dark clouds, covering me in
shadows. He seems to loom over me but that2527s impossible; he2527s five feet away
from me.

“I2527m going to
tell you a story. This is your story. When I2527ve finished it, you will
understand what we expect of you. Okay?” At my nod, he begins my story. “A long
time ago, your father approached me. He made a deal with me, and you were the
promise. You became club property, but this deal had conditions. I accepted all
your father2527s conditions and everything was running smoothly. That was, until
you fucking disappeared. Vanished into thin air,” he says. Black Eyes takes a
deep breath through his nose, and his jaw clenches tightly. “That deal was
broken the minute you went underground. When you resurfaced, I came for what
was mine.”

I try to
process his words. If what he2527s saying is the truth, then Carlos was right. My
daddy did sell me. But he thinks I2527ve been underground, whatever that means. If
it means what I think it does, then he is crazy. This isn2527t some mob story.
This is my life.

“What was–” I
don2527t get to finish my question. Black Eyes stands, knocking his leather seat
back against the wall. He slams his hands on his desk, and the noise bounces
around the room, echoing. I hold my breath and wait for him to speak.

“I said you
speak when I2527ve fucking finished. You said you understood. If you don2527t, little
girl, then I will make you understand. I2527ll fucking gag you. Keep your mouth
shut, otherwise I2527ll make you. We clear?” he growls. His voice rises, anger
lacing his words. My breath hitches, but I remain silent. “Good girl,” he says
in a calmer voice. “Illicit Angels is exactly what it implies in the title.
Rich men pay an exorbitant amount of money to fuck beautiful girls – beautiful
Angels, to be more precise. It2527s indecent. It2527s immoral. It2527s illicit.”

their way in but, occasionally, we allow a promise. A promise is a sale. We get

hisses. “You disappeared before that could happen. Now that you2527re back in our
clutches and I can see your potential, there are a few choices to make,
Eternity. You see, I want that promise back, but a new deal had to be struck. I
can2527t just take a promise back. It would be bad for business. In this life, you
should already be dead.”

My brain swirls
with questions, but I2527m frozen. Stuck in his story. What choices are there? My
daddy wanted into this club? He wanted to cheat on my mum? Why would he want to
come here? Surely, if he wanted to cheat, then he could have picked up a
mistress. He didn2527t need to sell me. He chose to. Hate and hurt
ripples through my veins, hot and swift.

“You get six
months before you2527re claimed, Eternity,” Black Eyes says, drawing my attention
back to him. “Six months to make a good impression. You can2527t be a promise, but
you can be a new Angel. For the first month, the bidders can only look
at you and touch bare skin. The next two months, they can taste you. Give you
untold pleasure,” he says nonchalantly. Black Eyes speaks as if we2527re
discussing the bloody weather, and his cool demeanour makes me want to scream. I
don2527t want goddamn pleasure. “The following three months they can give and
receive pleasure. They2527ll teach you how they like it and you will learn
to submit to their every demand. Their every need. At the six-month mark, they
will bid. The winning bidder will own you. You will become theirs to control,
theirs to use, theirs to do with as they damn well please. I2527m sure their first
order of business will be to strip you of your virginity. That little lining
inside will make you pussy gold. They2527ll pay a pretty penny for you. There is
one slight problem. Your promise wants you, and it seems he2527s willing to stake
his claim now. You have six months to make your decision, Eternity. You can
persuade a bidder to want you enough to go up against Justice, or you can face
the man himself and accept your fate. Justice won2527t let you go. He2527ll fight
until you2527re his. You have to decide which route to follow. Both will result in
you being Justice2527s, but you can fight for something better. I2527m not sure
you2527re strong enough to withstand Justice2527s darkness.”

Once he2527s finished talking, he just stares at
me, captivating me with his pitch black eyes. I want to speak, but I2527m not sure
if he2527s testing me so I stay quiet. Black Eye2527s smirks and nods his head.

“Good girl,” he
praises. It was a test! “Do you understand what is to happen over the
next six months?” I nod my head but still don2527t say a word. “Do you accept these
terms?” Black clouds swamp my mind. This is all too much. I don2527t want any of
this. I didn2527t choose any of this, and I won2527t accept it. But I2527m too scared to
answer him. A chill darts down my spine when anger twists his face at my
non-response, and a frisson of fear, cold and brewing, unfurls in my stomach.
“Do. You. Accept. These. Fucking. Terms?” he spits, each word separated and
angry. When I still don2527t answer, he storms around his desk to stand beside me.
I flinch, expecting a blow, but none comes. I peek up at him and find him
panting in rage. “Speak,” he growls.

pause, clearing my throat. My mouth is dry and terror is overwhelming me. “What

“Well, here is
your problem. I was made a promise, and that promise wasn2527t fulfilled. I want
the debt paid. I was promised a daughter, and I2527m going to have one. I know
Rivera has two daughters,” he drawls, pausing to let his words sink in. My eyes
widen when I get where he2527s going with this. I shake my head. This can2527t be
happening. “Little Nevaeh is acceptable as payment, but I thought you would
want to accept the fate your father gave you rather than subject your baby
sister to it. I2527m more than happy to have Nevaeh in your place if you don2527t
accept.”

“No,” I gasp.
Emotion, swift and violent, rushes through me. I2527ve spent the last four years
protecting my sister. I won2527t let it all be for nothing. “I2527ll do it,” I weep.
“I2527ll stay.”
