These dominant alpha men were willing to take me in... If I was willing to pay their savage price... I was racing to the airport, desperate to get back home and try to salvage what I could from a million dollar mistake. A huge explosion and subsequent EMP have left me with a wrecked car, a useless phone and a load of pent up frustration. Adam and Seth were as surprised as I when a second blast hit. The preppers drug me into the relative safety of their fallout shelter. Their help probably saved my life. Though safe from the mass hysteria outside, I was a stranger to these men. They had prepared for their own survival, not expecting a third. But I was willing to negotiate... Cruel Bargain is a 7k word steamy short full of dark bondage.
