Phantom (Cat and Mouse, #0)

by H.D. Carlton

I’m a bad man, but I won’t be her monster.

I want to be her savior.

“Because you possess my lungs, as you do my heart, Genevieve. And I intend to take yours for myself,”

“Do you want to hurt me, Ronaldo?” “Never,” he answers. “I only want to cherish you, Genevieve.” “How do you know my name?” “I know everything about you. Just as I know you will love me, too.”

“Love cannot define what I feel for you. But I will settle for it with my words and show you what I truly feel with my actions,”

“A queen has more important duties than undressing herself. Let me take care of that for you.”

“Nothing could compare to the likes of you, my love. You are the most beautiful flower and the rarest gem, more breathtaking than any of earth’s wonders.”

“I would follow you anywhere, Genevieve. If you were standing at the edge of the earth and wanted to fall, I would only stop you long enough to take hold of your hand so I could go with you.

There isn’t a life where I wouldn’t be your phantom, or a death where I wouldn’t be your reaper.”

A mad woman, he has made me. But if this is madness, I don’t ever want to be sane.
