Claimed by the Cthulhu (Monstrous Meet Cutes #2)

by Wendi Guff

They say curiosity killed that cat, but the saying is all wrong in my case. It should be curiosity stroked the cock, and not just any cock. A monster one.

He found me after all.

“Thank you for coming tonight, for trusting me, and for giving us a chance. I know….I’m a little intense. I meant what I said when I claimed you as my mate, but I'm not going to rush anything for you. I'm willing to wait for however long it takes.” “And if you never win me over?” she teases. I smirk. “Obviously, I’m already your crazy stalker, and if you never return my affections, then you just become my object of unrequited love. Oh, and I follow you wherever you go until you finally give in.” Marea chokes on a laugh. “I can't tell if you're joking or not.” “I'll let you figure that out. Ok, going to change real quick—be right back.” Winking, I step back and force myself to walk away before I kiss her senseless, proving how very serious I am about what I said.

He leans forward to take my hand in his. “The only person you need to be good enough for is yourself, Marea. When you look in the mirror, don't ever doubt your self-worth. You are—and always will be—more than enough.”

“Marea, you nearly brought me to my knees. You are all I can think about. You consume my thoughts—even when I'm at work. I want to know every inch of your body, of your heart, of your brain. Own all of you.”

“I know, but it hurts so much. I can't even explain to you how painful it is. It's like…” “Like somebody ripped a piece of your heart out as you watched them carry your baby away, knowing that it would never be whole again unless you held them in your arms?”
