Own It
C. Monet - 2018

What's supposed to be a girl's trip turns into so much more when she comes face to face with the owner of Island Raak. Not only is he paid, but he is soul snatching and panty dropping fine. Raakesh Basset is a bad boy with words smooth like butter. The kicker is, his words match his actions, and Seveyn is left wondering if he can and will own her body if she gives him a chance. The two-day trip was supposed to be for fun, but there's no fun in questioning if you should throw your already planned life out the window and own the moment or continue to allow your plans to play puppet master. While they both are completely aware that they want each other, the feeling of running is ever so present. Will Seveyn succumb to Raakesh's wishes, or will she run back home because it's not a part of the already laid out plan?
