Frozen Obsession

Xena:

As far as I'm concerned, my life ended that Christmas night, ten years ago-the night he took everything from me. Roman Delgado, my tormentor, the man who claimed me and left me in the dark, broken and lost. Now, I'm a shell of who I used to be, stripping to survive, numbing myself with drugs just to make it through another day. But Roman's out of prison, the last person I ever wanted to see again. This Christmas, the snow isn't the only thing suffocating me. Roman's back-and this time, he won't stop until he owns every shattered piece of me: body, mind, and soul. His obsession is twisted, a black hole pulling me in, and no matter how much I want to escape. I can't forget the way he made me feel all those years ago both terrified and alive. But I'm not that naïve girl anymore. I won't break. Not again.

Roman:

Prison couldn't break me, but being away from her nearly did. Xena. She's always been mine, even if she refuses to admit it. Ten years have passed, and I've done nothing but remember. But now that I'm free, there's no running from me. Not anymore. I'm taking back what's always been mine-her. This Christmas, I'll give her what she truly needs. Me.. My love. I'll strip her down, not just from her clothes but from the layers she hides behind. And in return, she'll give me what I've always craved. Her complete submission. She can fight it all she wants, but the storm outside is nothing compared to the hurricane inside her. She knows it. She feels it. She can't run, and she can't hide-not from me, not from the love I carved into her soul all those years ago.
