Excerpt:
Forbidden desire incited, I fell into Rachel’s maddening world feeling
her splendid, bare breasts upon me. No
rest for the wicked. A bit delirious, “Damn you,” slipped through my lips
knowing I stood upon the jagged edge between life and death. Fuming with
monstrous hunger, I danced on that edge feeling good and evil collide in every
cell of my body. “Wait…oh…my God,
just wait,” I said running my fingers through her black as midnight hair.
“I’ll wait for nothing,” said Rachel skimming my neck with claws fit
only for a beast. “You’re mine.” More bewitching kisses, irresistible and
dreadful at the same time, demanded I fall into chaos.
Tightening my grip on sin, I said, “You’re unbelievable, magnificent.” The computer screen
flickered with a deep blue light as hatred in my soul grew for Rachel, but my
flesh…cursed and weak, was so anxious for her essence it made me sick. You’ll be the death of me, but I’d die a
happy man. Uh, hold on a second. I don’t want to die. Ready to escape her
vindictive entrapment, I dared to look upon Rachel’s eternal beauty saying, “I
won’t…can’t let you in.”
“Too late.” Refusing to budge, Rachel slithered her smoking-hot body all
over mine sparking a wildfire in my lust filled skin. “You beckoned me,” she
said mesmerizing me with eyes so dark they had to be portals to Hell. Soft
laughter, accompanied by a playful caress, extracted all fear while Rachel
ingested the precious beams of moonlight. “You need me, Jake.” Left awestruck
by the mystical presence, shadows froze at the mere sight of her.
“Wrong…you need me,” I
proclaimed as every inch of my throbbing, hard body burned for her.
“Choose your words carefully, well…that is if you want to keep your
tongue.” Sitting on top of me, she scraped my jaw with those deadly claws
saying, “So shut up. I know what you crave. Yes…I…do.” Rachel slid down my
tormented body making sure I’d regret rejecting her. Molten hot lips scorched
my flesh, and then she chanted a devilish spell that devoured all guilt.
Sexual torment, synthesized to the nth degree of potency, ignited in my
veins with a vengeance. No, stop—don’t
ever stop. Sh—shit. This can’t be happening again.
No mercy existed as Rachel licked my face and then bit my bottom lip
drawing fresh blood to quench her primitive thirst. Glaring into my eyes, she
smiled wiping warm blood from her perfectly glazed, red lips. “Um, sin-filled
wine.” Soulless eyes gleamed with unadulterated evil as her intoxicating scent
and mouthwatering body seduced my soul.
Choppy, maniacal rambling echoed like thunder and then dulled to become
a terrifying murmur the likes of which only the Tower of Babble could contain.
The hushed turbulence in the room frolicked with Rachel’s enticing lawlessness,
until at long last…my conscience revved up to kick my ass. I halted Rachel
saying, “I don’t want you anymore. To Hell with you!” I awoke sweating and
exhausted from the lunacy buzzing throughout my mind.
Heavy from the encounter, my eyes twitched. Free from Rachel’s spell,
moonlight attacked optic nerves extinguishing the rampant fire inside me.
Light? Yes, it’s virtuous…and when light is summoned, it’s an almighty force to
be reckoned with. That was a priceless lesson for this seeker of mischief to
learn.
In the unguarded stillness of the night, I sat up in bed shaking my head
while marveling at Rachel’s ardent pursuit. That
beautiful…but dangerous bitch is still messing with me. Will it ever end?
Feeling fresh, blood-ridden wounds on my chest made my heart flutter. “I let
her into my dreams and now look at me,” I whispered catching my breath. Well, thank God I survived this one. Close
call…yeah, really close. Sorry to say, the netherworld had splattered my
nighttime reality with enviable, but hazardous sexual antics that, if accepted,
had the ability to conquer any sense of righteousness I still retained.
