My name is Lily Briar, and I don’t know how the hell I ended up in the Enchanted Forest. One minute, I was in the library with a blonde stranger, having the best orgasm of my entire life. The next, I was in a sex addict’s dungeons, waiting for my turn to be ravished by him.
I survived. But now, he’s on the hunt for me.
And I have no idea how to get back to my world.
Lily and Sir Robert have escaped the Ravisher's dungeons, but life isn't happily ever after. They've been traipsing through the Enchanted Forest searching for the Raven for weeks to no avail. When they meet a strange woman from Sir Robert's past, the reason they haven't found him is revealed, and Lily isn't going to like what she must do next…
An erotic Grimm retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. This novella is about 30,000 words (roughly 200 printed pages). Recommended for adults 18+.
I dash between the tall, dark trees of the Enchanted Forest. Robert leads the way, but I have gotten better at following. Over the last few weeks, I have gotten stronger and more athletic. My legs pump below me, and I fly softly and swiftly over the underbrush that grows thick and winds across the ground. I can almost keep up with him.
A blonde woman with a deep-rose cloak is chasing us. I have no idea who she is, but Robert says she's dangerous. Since the incident with The Ravisher's ravens searching for us, I have learned not to ask questions. When Robert says run, I run. When he says hide, I hide. When he says follow, I try to keep up as best I can.
We reach an opening in the trees, and my heart stops for a moment. The Enchanted Forest is dangerous and threatening, but it is also our shelter. Every time we leave the cover of its twisting green canopy, every time we step into the unadulterated sun, we run into trouble. The Ravisher is still looking for us. We cannot afford to be recognized.
Robert plows forward into the open meadow, and I follow, even though I do not want to. A part of me knows that I will never survive the forest without Robert, so it's futile to stay. The other part of me knows that we may not survive what stands in front of us, whatever that might be.
Whoever she might be. It is clear that she is from Robert's past and that he does not want me to meet her.
But I can't think of such things and their meaning. I must get over my trust issues and keep alive the small bit of hope I have left inside me. I am not going to die in the Enchanted Forest because I've come too far and been through too much to quit now.
