Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

Lance Dixon is crushed beneath a debt that isn't even his own—the result of his parents' financial failures. As a masochist, he's never hidden who he is, yet every relationship has ended the same way, with partners unable to accept his needs. One drunken night, Lance vents to a stranger and jokingly suggests he'd sell himself to pay off the debt. That stranger, Ansel Lowell, takes him seriously. Ansel offers a proposition: three months living by his rules in exchange for clearing the debt entirely. What seems like a straightforward transaction quickly becomes something far deeper. As days pass, the dynamic between them evolves into an unexpectedly consuming connection—one neither of them anticipated and one more dangerous than either intended. Ansel makes his intentions clear: he will infiltrate every corner of Lance's life, claim him whenever he desires, expose every hidden weakness and use them, and systematically take possession of him until Lance can no longer distinguish his own choices from Ansel's will. This book contains explicit mature content. Not advised for readers under 18.
