Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1)

by H.D. Carlton

Cat got your tongue, little mouse?

Watching me. Always watching me.

I don’t know if God really exists. I don’t know if mankind has ever walked on the moon. Nor do I know if parallel universes exist. But what I do know is that I just found the meaning of life sitting behind a table with an awkward smile on her face.

All I want to do is break her. Shatter her into pieces. And then arrange those pieces to fit against my own. I don’t care if they don’t fit—I’ll fucking make them.

I’ve just found myself a little mouse, and I won’t stop until I’ve trapped her.

Now here I am, bent over and stuffing myself in a hole. Suppose if I couldn’t get mine stuffed tonight, I might as well get my action this way.

I’ll be seeing you soon, little mouse.

My hunt isn’t over yet. I have to play with my little mouse now.

“Daya, it's hard to find a man these days that can even fuck right. You think I'm going to find a man that will kill in my honor, too? That's cute.”

Archibald Talaverra, the third. Just call me your Royal Highn-ass.

Don’t feel guilty, baby. I don’t make idle threats, so consider this a lesson learned.

I will devour her from the inside out until every intake of breath will only stoke the inferno I’ve created inside her. Like oxygen feeding a fire, I will consume every inch of her sweet little body until she will think of nothing else but how to get me deeper inside of her.

“What you and every sad motherfucker that even looks in her direction will learn is no one is safe when it comes to her. I don’t care if you only breathed in her direction the wrong way, you will fucking die.”

Furthermore, it wouldn’t surprise me if whatever negative energy resides up here decided to fuck with me and grab my hand.

lift my hand and flip him the bird. Fuck you, asshole. In response, his thumb moves, his smile growing wider. UNKNOWN: I plan to.

“I haven’t sent a nude since I was twenty. I take nudes because I like my body and want to stare at it all day.” Daya laughs. “I fucking love you.”

“You think you’re only going to beg because you’re fighting for your life, but that’s where you’re wrong. The only way I’ll be sending you to heaven is with my cock.” He grunts out a deep laugh. “And definitely my tongue and fingers, too.”

UNKNOWN: You don’t need a cop to get me in handcuffs, baby. I’ll let you do anything you want to me.

Drown in my fucking pussy. Die there for all I care.

I don’t have the goddamn time to deal with small fish when I have Great Whites floating around in my ocean. Too bad for them, I’m a fucking Megalodon.

When I refuse, he slaps his dick across my face again, this time harder. I’m getting tired of him slapping me. Rage burns hotter, and I’m tempted to reach over and bite the tip of his dick until it’s severed completely.

“Will you be my last meal, baby?”

“Mommy, are they having sex?”

“Just trying to picture what ring would look best on your finger,”

This beautiful woman holds my life in the palm of her hand, she’s just incapable of seeing it that way. The only one who’s truly in danger is me.

“If you were my little girl, I would worship every inch of your body for as long as our souls are tethered to this earth. My tongue would leave no part of you untouched.”

Fuck me with a pogo stick.

Fucking love that girl.

Loving you is like being trapped in a house of mirrors, little mouse. And I’ve never felt so at home while being so lost inside you.”

As if showing any amount of skin is a goddamn invitation to be raped and kidnapped.

“You don’t want this, baby? You don’t want to be full of my cock and discover a new religion each time I make you come?”

We’re all fucking animals, baby. The only difference is I don’t suppress mine.”

You need my protection more than you need my cock, but I fully intend on giving you both.”

“You are in my church where I am your God, and you are my equal. I’m not a jail, little mouse, I am your sanctuary.”

“Baby, you rule the fucking kingdom, and I will gladly bow to you.”

“I’m too big for this car, baby, so this is the closest I can get to bowing right now. But I’ll be sure to get on my knees for you later.”

also love the possibility that I have fallen in love with you in each life. Fucked that sweet pussy of yours and made you fall in love with me as much as I am with you. What did I tell you, little mouse? That you couldn’t escape me. If it’s real, then I’ve chased you across time and space, and you’ve never been able to get away.”

I hover over her and inspect every curve and detail that makes up the face of the woman I’m madly fucking in love with.

“I guess I wanted to see roses all over your house, too. Maybe because you feel like home.”

“But all I need is you.”

That one might have felt like a whole loaf of bread.

“Then will you be my daddy?”

“I will always possess you, little mouse. So, know that you have all of my devotion to keeping you.”

“Let me know which stars you prefer. The ones above you, or the ones I make you see.”

the stars surrounding us suddenly look so dull and lifeless compared to the ones shining in her eyes.

“You think I stalked you just because I wanted a quick thrill? No, baby. It’s you and me forever. Which means if I become a daddy, then you become a mommy.”
