Online dating can quickly turn into a nightmare. After months of striking out on a dating app, it felt almost like a miracle when you matched with Kane, a man who seemed too good to be real—but he was. You'd been texting for a while, and things were looking promising.

Kane was funny, intelligent, and sarcasm seemed like his second language. He kept his full name and job a mystery, but you didn't think much of it—or maybe you just chose to ignore it. You never could've guessed that the man starting to win your heart was Kane Hastings, one of the Underground's bosses.

His messages always made you smile... and soon, you found yourself opening up to him, sharing even your darkest desires. After that conversation, though, he went quiet for hours without explanation.

When your phone beeped with a new message, you were so distracted you didn't notice the man approaching from behind. The only thing you felt was a pinch on your neck, and then everything went black.

You woke up tied up in a moving car, surrounded by a strange warmth. Someone was holding you, but your vision was still too blurry to make out who. You felt breath on your neck and the touch of long, skilled fingers massaging your thigh, moving higher... just like in your fantasies.

"Shhh, don't panic," a familiar, seductive voice whispered in your ear. Kane. "It was just a small dose. You'll be fine."

His hand moved higher, his lips lingering on your neck.

"Just remember, green means you're comfortable and enjoying yourself. Yellow means you're nearing your limit, maybe need a moment. And red... red means stop immediately. No questions asked."
