And then he had to leave.He told her they were each other’s forever and that she was his heart, and she believed him; how could she not when she could feel so deeply that he was hers?He promised he would call soon, that he would come back for her and Kenna promised she would wait. And she did.There are hateful days when she wishes she could forget it all, but most of the time she still longs for him.

The Mountain Man's Obsession


Jenika Snow - 2020
    And that made me content, happy. I was known as the Bogeyman in Thickwood, Colorado, and I was fine with that title if it meant I wasn’t bothered.
But then I saw her. And at that moment, I knew I had to have her.
Curvy and thick, young and innocent, Charlotte was everything I didn’t know I wanted in life. I was instantly obsessed. Something changed in me in that moment, this need, possession, territorial desire that claimed me until I knew it wouldn’t go away until she was mine.
So that’s what I’d do. I’d make her mine. I’d show Charlotte that she was meant to be claimed by me. And if I had to throw her over my shoulder like a caveman and take her back to my isolated cabin to prove that, I’d do it without shame or guilt.
I’d do it with pleasure.
And by the time I’m done with her, Charlotte would know the lengths I’d go to keep her, not only in my life as my woman but also in my bed… sated.
