Mating the Huntress (Monsters and Mates, #1)

“Do you still have an erection right now?” she snapped. “Not the best use of my energy,” he muttered, “I agree.” “Then why the hell are you hard?” “Same reason you’re still wet. Don’t throw stones, love.”

“I need your sunshine,” he admitted, his voice soft. “You don’t need my darkness. I know that. But I’ll give it to you anyway. I’ll give you everything I have.” She dragged her teeth over her lower lip, a frown creasing her brow. And then she said, so low a human might not have heard, “The dark is just as lovely as the light.”

Luke wasn’t sure how it happened, but during the walk home, he found himself led towards a shop. A shop that sold food. When he had a perfectly good forest full of rabbits in his backyard. It was an outrage.

“Luke. I tried to kill you.” “I know. I was there.” She shot him a glare that suited her face far better than sadness. But then the glare faded, and she was lost again. “I tried to kill you,” she repeated, “and you’re a person.” “Yep.” She winced. “I’m a murderer.” “No, sweetheart. You’re an attempted murderer.”
