Claimed by the Cthulhu (Monstrous Meet Cutes #2)

“Aren't you at all a bit curious, my little scientist? If you leave with me, we can explore more from last night—we can conduct some experiments.” Damn him! He’s appealing to the nerd inside of me.

My brain needs to be constantly challenged, or else I get bored—and this is a challenge. It takes me a few minutes of rearranging, but I figure out Chaos’ message easily enough. Will you come out night tide pooling with me? I will be a gentleman—unless you don't want me to be.

“Go on the date. What's the worst that could happen—aside from the obvious that he's an ax murderer and could kill you.”
