INTO THE LIGHT
ALEATHA ROMIG
Thriller | 16 Giugno 2016 | Thomas & Mercer
An investigator's search for a friend draws her into a world darker than she could have imagined.
Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.
Stella Montgomery investigates the news on the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella investigates—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.
As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price...

Sara
Though I’d hoped to learn more about his meeting, with the events
of the day and the warmth of his silent embrace, in no time at all, I began to
drift off to sleep. I was nearly there when Jacob moved. Rolling me to my back,
he hovered close and smoothed my long hair away from my face.
“Are you still awake?” he asked, his minty breath blowing over me.
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry . . .”
His simple apology had my full attention. I wasn’t sure I
remembered hearing those words from him.
“. . . I meant to tell you how well you did at service.”
I smiled. “Thank you. I was scared, but Raquel and Elizabeth were
with me the entire time. And Brother Benjamin,” I added, suddenly fearful of
not acknowledging that a man had helped.
He continued to run his fingers through my hair. “I didn’t want you to think that I’d been quiet because of anything you’d done. You were perfect.”
He continued to run his fingers through my hair. “I didn’t want you to think that I’d been quiet because of anything you’d done. You were perfect.”
It was difficult for me not to ask the questions running through
my tired mind, but lying on my back helped me remember. “Thank you, Jacob. I
want you to be proud. I’m sorry that I embarrassed you. I’m sure that’s what
Father Gabriel was speaking to you about.”
His hand and breath stilled, as if he was considering his words
carefully. “We’re leaving the clinic tomorrow. However, instead of going to our
apartment, we’ll be staying at the pole barn for a while.”
“I don’t remember our apartment or the pole barn, but I’ll go
wherever you take me.”
His lips brushed mine. The light touch ignited a spark that
detonated flickers of yearning throughout my body. I lifted my lips to his,
wanting more than the chaste endearment.
“Sara, I . . .” Jacob didn’t complete his sentence; instead his
hand slipped behind my head, pulling me toward him. His kiss, no longer
apathetic, devoured. Zeal radiated from his lips, and soon his breaths were
labored. Like magnets we were drawn toward one another, closer and closer. My
body liquefied, becoming pliable to his touch, while conversely, his hardened,
ready to claim what was already his.
As the heat of our passion washed over us, I forgot my punishment.
My attention went elsewhere. A tug on my hair propelled my head to tilt, while
the persistence of his minty tongue encouraged my lips to part. Whimpers and
moans reverberated in my mouth and bubbled forth. They were wordless sounds
declaring my body’s approval.
The large, strong hands that had delivered pain now brought
pleasure. I reached for his broad shoulders, opening my arms and willfully
surrendering to his kisses. With a palpable hunger, his mouth moved from my
lips to my neck and down to my collarbone. His actions sent shivers to my toes
and tremors to my insides. Each kiss moved lower until he reached the neckline
of my nightgown. The bra I’d worn to service was gone. My breaths quickened as
each button came undone, leaving me bare and exposed to his desires.
The sound of my heart echoed in my ears as he praised my beauty
and whispered admiration for what was his. When he wasn’t speaking, his lips
moved lower as his five o’clock shadow tantalized my sensitive skin. It was as
his skilled fingers joined the assault, kneading my breasts and twisting my
hardened nipples, that primal sounds came from in my throat. It wasn’t that I
feared speaking. It was that words weren’t forming. Wanting what he could give,
I reached for his head, wove my fingers through his hair, and pulled him
closer.
Suddenly he stopped and pulled away, leaving me open to the cool
air.
Dazed and chilled, I reached for my nightgown. Embarrassed and
hurt, I began to button it.
“Did I do something wrong?”
