Of Monsters, Not Men, Tome 3 : Corrupt

Résumé

Everything was going so well, until I dropped something in the monster’s lake.

The monster that was said to have once been human, before the cursed lake made him a beast. The monster with yellow-tinted eyes, gleaming green scales, and enough magic to kill me without blinking.

The monster that has watched me obsessively from the shadows for years.

Now, he’s offering me a bargain. In exchange for retrieving what’s mine, he wants three things:

Food from my plate.

Words from my heart.

...And a space in my bed.

With no choice but to agree, I find myself drawn into a world of darkness and desire. I shiver when he devours his meals with those reptilian eyes fixed on my face. I shake when his raspy voice scrapes over my heated skin.

At night, I tremble at the feel of his scaled body next to mine.

I thought I’d be rid of him as soon as our deal was done, but as time goes on, I realize that I’m getting attached. That he's kind to me, even if he terrifies everyone else. That he’s obsessed with me, and I crave all that attention.

And that I want him to own me... in any way he wants.
