Prologue

“Ari…Ari…come on, baby. Wake up.”

I had no idea why someone would be calling me baby. I wasn’t big on sweet nicknames but whoever was talking to me was holding my hand. Their grip wasn’t hard, in fact, it was comforting if anything. But there was just something off about their voice. There was nothing wrong with it. The tones were smooth and held just the right amount of emotion that told me this person cared about me, possibly loved me.

The only problem was…

It wasn’t the voice I wanted to hear.

No, the voice I wanted to hear was velvety but gravely at the same time. It was a voice that could make you scared as hell or orgasm just from your name being spoken. The sound was all too familiar to me and all I wanted to do was curl up next to the owner and possibly get lost in just being near him.

It was a feeling that I’d always wanted but never really had. Until him.

And if there’s one thing I would do, it would be to wake up just so I could see his face again.
