I took a step back and felt the warm body of a man—a demon—behind me. His chest pressed against my back as his arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I gasped as he placed his lips next to my ear to whisper his next words. “I’m not delusional. I’m darkness, and if you’re not careful, I’ll devour you.” Warm breath brushed against my neck before his lips met my flesh. His kiss lingered on my pulse point, making my heart race and my legs tremble. “Keep yourself safe—unless you want me to drag you to hell with me.”
