Those bloodless cheeks.
Before she pulled her shit together, she flashed a haunted gaze that summoned my ghosts and froze me dead.
Overwhelmingly not fucking normal.
I can’t let her any closer.
At least, not until I figure out why she isn’t riding the same wave of wild instinct.
I want to trade bites so desperately, I’d let her bleed my collar red and never bleach it clean.
The possible reasons she’s holding back pinch the tube of my throat.

I’ll send him a letter with all the food service details.
See if I can make his head explode.
When my hands are busy, my chest loosens. But my ears never relax. I tense when our princess leaves her bedroom, tip-toeing to the bath.
The sound destroys my focus, and I’m not the only one.
We stare through the wall.
Waiting.
Hoping.
Guarding.
If she doesn’t open up to us, we’re fucked.
