🔥Whispers in the Dark excerpt continued...
Velvet and venom. Dark silk wrapping around my spine.
“You shouldn’t be able to hear me, little witch.”
I froze. Not because I was afraid.
Because I wanted to answer.
“You’re in my head,” I whispered aloud, breath catching.
“No, sweetheart. You’re in mine.”
His mind was fire and shadows, flickers of things he never said out loud—grief, fury, hunger. And beneath it all, my name. Whispered like a secret prayer.
The bond between us thrummed, alive and electric, like a thread stitched through the center of my soul and pulled tight—right to him.
“I felt you before I saw you.”
“I’ve been trying to shut you out ever since.”
But I couldn’t shut him out now. And I didn’t want to.
“You’re dangerous,” I said aloud, even as I stepped closer.
“So are you.”
And when his lips finally found mine, it wasn’t a kiss.
It was a claim.
Dark and hungry and inevitable.
Like he’d been waiting lifetimes to taste me—
and had finally decided I was worth the ruin.
