Wasteland by Anna Apocalypto

In a virus-ravaged America where law has collapsed and survival demands impossible choices, former data analyst Carla Ruiz is taken by a brutal raider crew led by the ruthless Durst Carrington. Captured while scavenging alone, she quickly learns that safety comes only through negotiation. What begins as reluctant private service to secure water and shelter escalates into shared use during raids and victories, testing every limit of her defiance.

As Carla confronts the crushing weight of her captivity, each transaction chips away at her independence, awakening conflicting cravings she cannot deny. Durst’s iron control and the crew’s unrelenting demands force her along a path of transformation, from logical survivor fighting every touch to something darker and more surrendered. In this merciless wasteland, ownership brings both protection and total loss of self. Will Carla’s growing need for their dominance secure her place among them, or will complete submission consume the last fragments of who she once was? A raw tale of power exchange, dark craving, and the thin line between resistance and addictive belonging.
