The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2)

by Nikki St. Crowe

“She’ll checkmate your ass before you even know you’re sitting at the board.”

He is an unholy sight. And I will never stop sinning for him. I move to stand to go to him but he tsk-tsks at me and shakes his head. “Did I tell you to get off your knees?” he says. “You’ll crawl to me.”

Pan smiles at me, knowing what I’m doing. “Careful, Darling,” he purrs. “Of course, my king. I’ll be a good girl. Just for you.”

I am a flower trapped in a slant of shade, desperate for his light.

“I am here and I am real and I’m not going anywhere.”
