Appetite (Prey #3)

by Carmen Rosales

“No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.” MARY SHELLEY

“Don’t cry for me. I prefer to hear your screams. It does things to me. It calms me. The same way it calms you when you get fucked.”

"Because I like watching your ass fill out those leggings you wear. I wouldn't want you to lose it. I'm looking out for your best interests. Some men like something to hold on to when they take a woman from behind or when she is on top slamming her ass on his thighs."

"No, Jess. The ones that hurt you are crazy because I'm your savior. Your lord. The one you crave and beg for on your knees when you need saving because God won’t listen. Your secret weapon to survive the depths of hell you are in–– the gasoline to your fire. The one that no one will see coming. Isn't that what you need, Jess? Your very own dark demon. A demon you can unleash upon those who have wronged you."

"Your pain is relieved by my pleasure, and my pleasure is the drug you would secretly die for. The high running through your veins.

"You're beautiful. I love watching you. Even in the dark, you shine for me. In your sleep, when your demons try to take you to that place, I will find them and burn them all into ashes for you. I promise, my little Sparrow. When you fall, I'll catch you."

When you're ready, I'll fuck you. I'll fuck them all out of you, and the only cock you will be begging for will be mine, like it's your salvation."

"You made a mess. A beautiful mess. When I make you come, the light in your eyes burns like a thousand suns defying darkness. When I leave out that door, I truly didn't leave. I'm around you, even if you can't see me. And I'll always come back. Only for you."

I would burn the world into ashes, some would say, for the one they love, but for her, I would build a world where she felt loved. Her nirvana. A place where no one could touch her unless she wanted them to do so.

"You're crazy, aren't you?" A deep rumble comes from his chest when he says, "When it comes to you, I'm insane."

"Do you think everyone didn't see? The pictures. The way he looks at you. The way you look at him. No one exists in a room when he looks at you."

“You defeat the evil that put it there. You outsmart the devil who wants to play God.”

“This is the part where you fall, and I catch you.”

"I'll wait to inflict my carnage and…to fuck you until your eyes roll back in that pretty skull of yours, like you're a demon possessed. Possessed by me and my cock."

"I love you, Jesse Sharpe. This is the beginning of us and of the things I will try to make right in your life.."

"You bought a town for the girl that you love." I nod. "And I took her to prom."

To my wife Jess, Meet me where the light meets the dark, and I will always find you. Without you, I'm nothing. I want you to be part of me…all of me. Forever. Will you marry me…right now? I can't wait, and you shouldn't either. I love you, Jess. I hope you love me too. Reid
