“I don’t want a relationship with a creature who can’t survive outside the shadows.” My fingers close around the handset. “I can,” says the monster. “But you’ll have to be patient.” My eyes narrow. “What do you need?” “Allow me to penetrate your body.” “Where?” I rasp. “Every orifice imaginable,” he says in a voice of smoke. “You must fully accept me before I show myself.”
The handsome face turns cold, and his lips curve into a grin as sharp as it is wicked. “Light erodes our compassion. Now, I have no reservations about taking what I want from my mate.”
“Naughty little mate. Would you like me to eat you?” The way he asks that question, I’m a hundred percent certain he’s not talking about food. My breath quickens, and heat pools between my thighs. “That depends.” “Tell me something, Little mate,” he says. “W-what?” “How would you like me to fuck you all night?” My throat tightens, and my gaze travels down his athletic form and settles on his raging erection.
