“I wasn’t a hermit by choice,” she says, almost lost in a trance. “Every little allowance they gave me felt like a gift because I didn’t really feel worthy of it. And no matter how much I tried to hide what I was, people still knew.”
We watch the sunrise together, and I feel an unexpected kinship with this fragile human.

ANNETTE
The way Rukh is looking at me makes me shiver. I know he's dark and a demon. And I know he hunts evildoers, but he's doing more good than anything. There's something about him that draws me to him.
I’m no longer questioning whether he’s good or I’m bad. All I know is that we are the same, deep down. Whatever we are, it vibrates on a joined frequency that no one else in my life has ever shared.
He’s become a part of me, and for the first time in my life, I don’t feel alone. I feel… seen. I feel real, and I never really understood that I felt otherwise until I met him. I knew something was missing, but I never could have guessed a demon like him was what it was.
I care about him. I want him. And right now I want to touch him.
I reach a shaking hand toward his chest and run my hands down the length of his muscles. He's so strong. He doesn't move or say anything, but he allows the contact.
There's a fleeting moment where I fear he's about to pull away, but oh, how wrong I am. He swoops down and his lips capture mine.
I moan at the taste of him. His darkness swirls around me, and for the first time, I revel in it. I wrap my arms around him eagerly, wanting to be closer.
Rukh's kiss is intense, full of passion and desire. He pulls me closer, crushing me against his chest, and I can feel the hard planes of his body against mine. His hands tangle in my hair, holding me still as he deepens the kiss. I can feel his fangs pressing against my lips, but instead of scaring me, it only heightens my arousal. I want him to bite me, to mark me as his own.
As if sensing my thoughts, Rukh pulls back slightly, his dark eyes burning into mine. "Are you sure you want this?" he asks in a low growl, his voice rough with desire.
I nod, unable to speak as my body aches for him. Rukh leans in again, his tongue tracing the outline of my lips before delving inside. Our tongues tangle together in a dance as old as time, and I can feel the power of his darkness pulsing through me. It's like a drug, addictive and dangerous, but I can't get enough.
Suddenly, Rukh breaks the kiss, his eyes blazing with hunger. "I need you," he says, his voice hoarse. "Come with me."
Without another word, he takes my hand and leads me towards the shadows. I follow willingly, eager to discover just how deep his darkness goes.
We pass through the dark forest. The only sound is the rustling of leaves underfoot, but then we come to a clearing. Rukh stops, turning to face me, his eyes intense as he takes in my body. I feel exposed under his gaze but also powerful, wanted.
"Are you sure about this?" he asks again, his voice softer this time.
I nod, my heart racing as I step closer to him. He reaches out, his fingers tracing the line of my jaw before he pulls me in for another kiss. This one is even more intense than the first, his hands roaming over my body as he presses me up against a sturdy tree trunk.
I moan into his mouth as he parts my lips with his tongue, exploring every inch of my mouth with a hunger that matches my own. He pulls back briefly, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
"Say my name," he commands, his voice rough.
"Rukh," I breathe, and his eyes glow with satisfaction before he dives back in for another kiss.
His hands slip under my shirt, tracing patterns on my skin as he pulls it over my head. I shiver in the cool night air, but his touch quickly warms me up. I reach for his shirt, eager to feel his skin against mine, but he stops me with a shake of his head.
"Not yet," he murmurs, his lips trailing down my neck.
I gasp as he nips at my skin, leaving marks that I know will be there for days. His hands move lower, pulling down my pants before slipping a finger inside. I arch into him as he touches me, my body aching for more.
He's barely even touched me, but I can already feel myself growing wet. The thought of Rukh's lips on me sends a thrill of need through my body.
Rukh groans as his fingers work over my wetness, and I can't help but moan. It feels so good to be touched by him. I don't ever want him to stop.
"You want more, don't you?" he murmurs huskily, his voice dripping with desire.
I nod, unable to speak. He smirks, his hands moving under my legs and yanking my body up. I squeal with surprise as he lifts me up, supporting me with his strong arms. I rest my hands on his shoulders, shuffling forwards to wrap my legs around his waist. Before I can object, he's walking, carrying me like I weigh nothing.
He stops a moment later, setting me down and pushing me up against a tree trunk. I lean backwards, loving the way the rough bark feels against my skin. Rukh pulls my legs apart, kneeling on the ground before me.
