The Rolliad, in Two Parts / Probationary Odes for the Laureatship & Political Eclogues by George Ellis

Chapter 1 No.1

O! green-rob'd Goddess of the hallow'd shade,

Daughter of Jove, to whom of yore

Thee, lovely maid, Latona bore,

Chaste virgin, Empress of the silent glade!

Where shall I woo thee?-Ere the dawn,

While still the dewy tissue of the lawn

Quivering spangles to the eye,

And fills the soul with Nature's harmony!

Or 'mid that murky grove's monastic night,

The tangling net-work of the woodbine's gloom,

Each zephyr pregnant with perfume--

Or near that delving dale, or mossy mountain's height,

When Neptune struck the scientific ground.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
