Echoes (Dance With My Demons, #2)

by Steph Macca

What an unhinged good fucking reader you are. I knew you'd be gagging for the monsters under the bed… Begging them to drag you down to hell and rearrange your insides. Welcome home.

Oh, please try me. Please, please… push me over the edge. I'm begging you.

And I'm going to take that tether and wrap it around her soft body—whether that's to fuck her or kill her, I don't know yet.

"I would have killed him. I would have gutted him without hesitation. But that would have meant leaving you. And I'm not prepared to do that.

I'm going to chase you, Grey. I'm not letting you go that easily.

"Who do you think killed Hallman, little killer? He didn't take his own life. No—I ended it. I ended that sad, pathetic excuse of a man because he touched you. He tried to hurt what's mine."

"You're fucking mine, Avery," he growls into my mouth. "This lifetime and the next one too."

"This is what you do to me," I breathe out, growling as her finger presses into my flesh harder. "You tear me apart from the inside out in the best fucking ways possible. You make me kill for you, you make me want to die for you. I'll burn this whole place down to ashes and paint you with them like the muse you are."

"Why did I have sex with Avery? Or are you questioning whether I have kinks that you might be interested in pursuing?"

"When you go to heaven one day, I'll drag you back down to hell to join me. Because I'm never leaving you, Avery."

"Promise. Now, I want you to explode on your other boyfriend's cock while looking at me."

I'm not too proud to ask for help when it comes to you."

"Your little deranged self is perfect."

"And you should be thankful I have the stamina of a fucking God."

"I was summoned to sit at the Assholes-R-Us table."

our little killer?"

"I hope you do get used to it. Because we're going to have so much fun breaking you in, little killer."
