Kindle Notes & Highlights
There was something thrilling and cathartic in imagining being helpless. Helpless but pleasured. Helpless but desired.
“Such a noisy little thing,” Leon said. “I love how pretty you moan.”
It was going to make me feral if I couldn’t have her again. Have all of her. I wanted her blood, sweat, tears, cum. I wanted to taste it all.
“I don’t make idle threats. If you run out of here” — and I knew she would — “then I’m going to hunt you. I’m going to catch you. And when I do —” A thousand possibilities flashed through my head. A thousand sweet tortures. A thousand ways to stoke that arousal inside her until she burst. “— when I do, I’ll make you scream.”
“Try offering me your soul.” His tone was cocky, but clipped, as if he’d allowed the words out only begrudgingly. “Offer me your soul in exchange for protection.”
“That would be too easy. I want to see you squirm, I want to see you beg. If you’re going to be damned, you need to go willingly.”
“You’re an asshole,” I whispered. “You are what you eat.” “Fucking hell,” I gasped,
I’m in a very sadistic mood and will gladly let you stand there and stumble through humiliating yourself all night. Or, you can just say what you really want, and I’ll bend you over this headstone, eat your little cunt until you drip down your thighs, and fuck you until you forget your own name. What’ll it be?”
His cock moved over me, slick with my arousal. “Do you want me to wreck your little cunt?” “Yes,” my answer was a groan, tight with anticipation and shaking. “Yes, please —”
He’d fucked anything human out of me and left me just a shaking, needy toy for him to use. “How does it feel, doll?” His fingers tangled in my hair, claws scratching along my scalp. “Use your voice, come on now. Or can you even speak at all anymore?”
“This could be the fate of your soul.” He laughed sadistically. “All it takes is a simple bargain, and you’re mine. Mine to use and pleasure however I wish. Mine to mark, mine to hurt.” He pressed into me hard, so hard my moan was nearly a sob.
He drove into me with long, steady strokes. I wanted nothing more than to have his cum inside me, filling me.
And that was when I realized — as I knelt there babbling uselessly, drool running down my chin, practically sobbing with the pleasure of it — he was absolutely right. I had already given in. I’d said I wouldn’t give him my soul, but I’d practically given it to him already.
Mine. My human, my doll, my tender flesh, mine.
“I can’t just keep severed heads around my yard,” I said. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Leon turned to face me. “Do they not fit your aesthetic? Would death suit your aesthetic better?”
The drive to claim her, protect her, keep her, was so deeply rooted in my mind that there was no shaking it.
“If you live in the dark long enough, you’ll forget what the light feels like.”
“I’m going to break you in every conceivable way.”
“Say mercy if you want our play to end. But beg for me to stop and plead for your life if you want to continue.”
I whimpered. “Please…please let me go…don’t —” “Shut the fuck up,” he gripped my face, his tone vicious. “Open your fucking mouth, now.” I was giddy as I obeyed. When he spit on my waiting tongue and followed it up with his thick cock, I groaned to feel it press all the way to the back of my throat. It was so thick, and from the angle of him above me, he couldn’t even get all of it in. He gripped my hair, moving my head over him, laughing when I gagged on a deep thrust. “Aw, is that too much, little doll? But dolls take whatever their master wants, don’t they?” He held me down a moment longer,

The way he moaned before he came inside me was easily the hottest thing I’d ever heard.
“I really fucking want your soul, Raelynn. I want it so goddamn badly it makes me sick. I want to own you, from now until eternity.”
“You’re a light in the dark, and I’ve been in the dark a very long time.”
“I want you. Irrevocably. But I can’t settle for less than all of you. Body and soul, Raelynn. We demons, when we see something we like, we need to possess it. It’s in our nature.”
“Does it frighten you, to be so desired? To know I want you regardless of time or distance? To know I want you as mine, wholly possessed without question?”
I barely realized I was crying until his hands were wiping away my tears, kissing my face, murmuring, “Easy, baby girl. You did so good, you’re so fucking beautiful.”
I’d gladly admit I was generally a dick, but Rae made me want to be...nice...to her. Only to her. Everyone else could get fucked.
“Not a goddamn thing is taking you from me, baby girl. No man, and no God. I’ll kill them all.”
“Impale yourself for me, baby girl.”
Love meant never fighting a battle alone.
“I’m not going to leave you that easily, baby girl.” He smiled, and his fingers tightened around my arm. “There’s no getting rid of me now. You’re stuck with me.”
