All I Want for Christmas Is Revenge (Murder and Mistletoe, #1)

by K.A. Merikan

“I don’t know what it is about Christmas time, but it always makes loneliness feel more pronounced. People go pick trees together, drink hot chocolate in cafes, and frantically buy last-minute gifts. The irony, right? All this money I saved up over the years, and no one to buy a present for.”

Because now I’m determined to make him mine, and I will grant him the kind of revenge he’s never even dreamed of. But my prey is skittish and needs to become acquainted with me first. By the time we develop enough trust for me to reveal my true self, he will be ready to accept me as I am. He doesn’t need to know that he’s mine already.

A head. He’s got a fucking human head in a bag and he’s showing it off like a cat bringing me a dead mouse.

“I want an apprentice. And a partner. And since I know we are a good match, I offer to give you your revenge if you agree to be mine.”

“I want a partner who won’t leave.” ‘Whatever I do’ seems to be the rest of that sentence. “I want access to you, be it for a cuddle, or to fuck your brains out.”

“No, no allergies. I do hate beetroot though.” What a cute random fact to learn about my new boyfriend.

“You’re really something else. Cooks well, kills people, amazing dick, what else could I want in a boyfriend?”

Wow. Yet another red flag. At this point, I’m just a bull, running at them with glee.

“If you own me, take care of me. Don’t ruin what’s yours.”
