Appetite (Prey #3)

by Carmen Rosales

"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."

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.

A deep rumble comes from his chest when he says, "When it comes to you, I'm insane."
