The Kraken's Sacrifice (A Deal With a Demon, #2)

by Katee Robert

When you’re at rock bottom, sometimes the only thing to do is keep digging.

It’s not his fault Brant’s dead. It wasn’t his hand that killed my beloved. It wasn’t even during one of those conflicts. But it was one of his people who murdered my husband.

“You don’t have to be scared of me, King Kraken. I don’t even like sushi.”

“If you were into age play, you should have just said something. Shall I call you daddy?”

He gives me an almost-tentative stroke, and then his expression goes hard. “Beg for it.” I almost do. Almost. But I am who I am, and I’ve never submitted easily once in my life. “Make me.”

She’s completely undaunted. “Guess you’re just unlucky, then. Let’s get this over with.” She lifts her arms and makes a motion with her hands. “Uppies.” “Uppies.”

Poor Catalina, her mommy was neglectful to the point of abuse, now she seeks out every single unattainable partner she can find, attempting to prove she’s worthy of love.

“Catalina, if you don’t walk up those stairs right now, I’m going to fuck the brat right out of you.”

“I might get eaten.” His grin is quick and devastating. “Only if you’re very, very good.” Is Thane . . . flirting with me?

“You are not a pawn, Lina. You’re not a womb to be utilized or a body to be used for others’ benefits. You are a person, and you get to choose what you want.”
