I know I should listen to my grandmother's warnings: never wander deeper than the flower beds at the forest's center. But dwindling supplies pushed me past the point of no return. I break my promise. I go deeper. That's when I find the hidden pool, dark and still…until it moved. From the depths, a creature rises, tentacles wrapping around me, hoisting me into the air. I know I'm in danger, but every touch burns with forbidden pleasure I can't resist. This is no ordinary encounter. It's a dark fantasy I could have never imagined: a monster claims me and I surrender. The deeper I fall into its grasp, the more I realize… it was waiting for me all along.
