Snapdragons (Monster Stalker #2)

by January Rayne

The gargoyle growled, the crocodile vibrated, the vampire craved her blood, the jellyfish tentacles around my cock charged with electricity, and the ghost wanted to possess her body.

“Come for me, mate. Let me see how beautiful you look when I’m wrapped around you,” a voice whispers softly into my ear.

“You’ll have so much more from me soon, My Timid Little Bloom. More than you’ll ever know.”

“Such a good girl trusting your instincts. You’ll do best to remember them,” the unknown voice growls, an invisible hand stroking the soft skin between my breasts. “And you’ll tell me who did this to you. You’ll tell me who harmed my mate.”

“You deserve to exist at the highest volume. I will make that happen.”

Now that I’m here, I can’t control myself. I thought I’d watch her for a while, learn her habits, but no, fuck that stupid human-like idea. She’s mine. She needs to be claimed. She needs to understand that I’ll protect her in life, in death, and everything in between. Fear? I’ll consume it for her to sate my violence, so she never has to experience the bitterness. Nightmares? I’ll invade them and give her dreams that make her scream my name. Weakness? I’ll show her how strong she is while she has me on my back.

You only need to fear how much I’m going to love you.

“I’m yours, and you, are mine. Forever, Mickey.”

“You’re doing a good job trying to better yourself. I’m proud of you, mate.”

“Oh, I knew you’d feel good. Fuck, the things I want you to force yourself to do. Surrender yourself to me, Mickey."

“I forgot to say, you smell fucking delicious today. You just wait until you’re asleep. You just wait until I can have my way with you.”

“I vow to love you when you hate yourself.” “I vow to protect you when the light of day and the dark of night become your enemy.” “I will succumb to you.”

I’m angry that I can’t steal one and give it to Mickey. The sky can be so selfish. All I want to do is hand her a star to prove I can feel her light anywhere, no matter how near or far I am.

I’d gather all the stars in the night sky just to prove to you your light shines brighter to me than they ever will. Is that what you want, Mickey? Do you want someone to give you the stars?

There would not be enough stars in the sky to amount to the love I have for you.
