Claimed

Joel:

She claimed me. The hazel hue of her eyes grabbed me like a mythical siren, pulling me in and captivating me, only to let me know she was out of my league. I hoped my pull toward her would wane, proving to be an infatuation. Finally, realizing whatever this is, it’s more than a fleeting thought, I’ve made up my mind. I’ve waited long enough. Tonight I will claim her. Fuck her husband. She is mine.

Dani:

I walk toward the door, anxiety swirling through my stomach, anticipation thrumming through my veins as I approach. Unable to think of anything but him, I found myself at the front door of his club as if drawn by an inexplicable force. The mere thought of seeing him sets me alight with chills. It’s as if my body is searching for its master. With a single touch, he branded me and doesn’t even know it.
