Quintessentially Q (Monsters in the Dark, #2)

by Pepper Winters

Naked and restrained, this darkness cannot be contained, you, my esclave, have been claimed...

I may be a controlling bastard, but the moment Tess stalked into my life I lost my balls to her.

I relish the snap, welcome the burn, don’t stop yet it’s still my turn. Tighten your grip, make me bleed, this is a hunger I need to feed...

“You’re my wings. You made me fly.”

“You stole my loneliness. I may have given you wings, but you've become my gravity. I’ll never be free of your force.”

Why her? Because she made me fucking happy for the first time in my sorry existence. She made me stronger, more grounded...more right.

Tess kissed me back, whispering into my mouth. “Because you’re my monster in the dark, and I’m yours.”

Strip me bare, pull my hair, I don’t care, just take me there. I need that high, I need that pain, it’s the only thing that keeps me sane...

Tie me, tease me, let your pleasure please me. Hurt me, love me, but please don’t ever leave me...

You told me you were strong enough. You told me you were brave. Yet now you lie next to me and all I can do is save. I’m here for you. I’m there for you. I’ll help you with every fight. But no matter what I do for you, I see no end in sight.
