horizontal ugly dance,
I looked human but didn’t smell it,
“You’re an asshole, but you’re my asshole.”
“Men aren’t islands because they want someone to do all the domestic stuff for them.” I peeled back the canvas, realizing it was a sack. “They leave their islands for the promise of a lazier future. But there are a bunch of women islands. We’d rather be alone than take on the role of life secretary and housemaid.” Or so my mother had always said. I wouldn’t know.
Sometimes I forgot how crazy I sounded.
“All girls have secrets.”
They were holding money in front of me like a carrot to a donkey.
“I have never, in all my years, seen someone do as you are doing, Reagan.”
It’s a strange phobia, but it’s mine.”
“Sometimes, you seem so naive, almost useless, in your approach. Other times, like now, you are truly eye-opening, Reagan Somerset. It’s like beholding a goddess. I almost can’t believe you’ve touched down in the world of mortals.”
my lovely Reagan. So much passion. So much fire. Come. Let me taste you.”
“I am quite aroused, Reagan. Vampires my age usually only feel this way when we are feeding, and we only feed once in a great while. I should’ve been sated for months. But instead, I am harder than I can remember being. I want to be inside you, Reagan, while tasting the sweet nectar of your veins.”
Magic has great perks, but with it comes great pitfalls.”
“Do humans find you humorous?” We passed the first circular area. I could still see the disturbance of our tracks. That was a good sign. “Yes. Well, they don’t laugh out loud, but I’m pretty sure they laugh inside.”

Having a friend, regardless of her age and liberal take on screwing and killing vampires, would be welcomed.
I grimaced, but refrained from mentioning that the flowers weren’t alive, not anymore. In essence, he was surrounding himself with fresh death.
Think of me as a stray cat that you are hesitant to feed lest I stay, but you pity me enough to toss me a few scraps. Seriously.
“I will screw you, yes. Very softly at first, until you are mewling and writhing. Then, when you beg me just right, I will screw you hard, deeply, until you are screaming for holy damnation. I will be the only thing you think about for the rest of your life.”
Once she submits, so do I. We form a bond, for a time. Pleasure is shared between us, as is power. The two components wrap us up and block out our surroundings, heightening the feeling. The taste.”
“Nope. No crack in here. Not even any weed. I’m naturally this crazy.”
crazy is as crazy does.”
They upset the natural flow of energy. Only if they fully trust each other, and themselves, can they benefit from a boost in power. That’s why dual mages, the yin and yang of magic, are very rare.”
“Spells don’t have ears.
You’re crazy, that’s why. You can always count on crazy.”
The right-hand corner held the object of the dick pic, Mr. Dick himself. Darius was still tied to a stake with a pile of store-bought fire logs piled around his feet. Chuckles bubbled up inside me at the absurdity.
“Who has two thumbs and brought a gun to a magic fight? This girl!”
No smoke; it burned hot and smelled sweet, my calling card.
