A dark AU of Blackmailed by the Cowboy Billionaire.

Trigger Warning: Femdom, Public Humiliation, dubcon, Kidnapping, Blackmail, Forced Exhibitionism, Power Play

They shared her. They collared her. They thought they owned her.

But Lila Carter plays a dirtier game.

When a rival cowboy kidnaps her, it’s not for ransom—it’s for revenge. Dante Cruz wants to erase every trace of Jace and Tyler from her skin, to break her until she’s his alone. But Lila’s no fragile flower. She’s a viper in silk, and she likes the way he hates her. Likes the way his hands shake when he touches her. Likes the way his control shatters when she moans his name.

He thinks she’s faking. She’s not.

He thinks he’s in charge. He’s wrong.

By the time Jace and Tyler storm in, guns blazing, Dante’s already on his knees—literally—and Lila’s just getting started. Because if there’s one thing worse than a man who wants to ruin you?

A woman who ruins him first.

TROPES:
✔ Forced Proximity — One cabin, one bed, and a man who hates how much he wants her.
✔ Enemies to Lovers (Sort Of) — He kidnapped her. She liked it. Now they’re both fucked.
✔ MFMM (Why Choose?) — Two cowboys weren’t enough. Now there’s three. And she’s greedy.
✔ Femdom Reversal — He thought he was the predator. Joke’s on him.
✔ Public Humiliation — The Syndicate doesn’t just punish traitors. It plays with them.
✔ Bi Awakening — Dante’s spent years pretending he doesn’t want them. Lila’s about to prove him a liar.

TRIGGER WARNINGS (FOR THOSE WHO LIKE IT DARK):

— Pegging & Power Play — Turns out, Dante likes it rough. From both sides.
— Oral Fixation — Wine, ice cream, and lollipops weren’t meant for eating.
— Psychological Torment — Break him? Oh, she will.
