⚠️Waring! This story includes detailed sexual content, dubious consent and molesting! Viewer discretion is advised!⚠️ When Ashley Simmons needs some extra money to afford her studies after her mother's and stepfather's death leaves her with debts, she applies for employment as a student assistant in a small town. When she is offered the position she agrees immediately. The town is more than perfect with its familiar and homey feeling. There is only one thing that's rubbing her wrong, the mayor. Mr. Colton Bleckbourne may have godly looks, but his personality is far from it. From the start he is controlling, demanding and overly invested in Ashley's leisure time. How is Ashley supposed to live her life when Mr. Bleckbourne wants to control where she sits at mealtimes and takes up her free time with his presence. Why does he get angry with her for every little thing that is not his business to begin with? Why does she hear animals growling on the fifth floor of the pack house? What is it that everyone in the little town seems to know that she doesn't? And why does her body react like it does whenever he's around? She doesn't even like the man! This story is a slowburn with a bit of a slow start, but please give it some time and I promise it gets better once we know the 2 main characters. 😘
