    • chapter twenty-five

      by Quinn Hawthorne The doorbell rang as I was getting cleaned up, and my body was still smeared with blood from the latest merchandise. I grabbed the first tub of organs and headed for the front door. Resting the tub against the wall behind the door, I straightened my clothes before opening it. A man I’d never seen before stood on my doorstep. He was tall, with dark hair, and wore a black hoodie that made him look like a delinquent. His eyes flicked to the tub of organs behind me before returning to my…
    • chapter twenty-eight

      by Quinn Hawthorne Vanessa was beautiful today. I was observing her diligently working on schoolwork in the university library. Vanessa surrounded herself with reference books, opened to various pages as she hunched over her tablet, and scribbled furiously at her digital notebook. She wore her hair in a ponytail, with strands cascading over her left shoulder. Even though she was wearing jeans and a black blouse, she outshone every mortal here. I tried to make myself less conspicuous and easier to identify by wearing a…

      by Quinn Hawthorne   I wasn’t too surprised that she left the house today. I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, eager to catch a glimpse of the intricate creative process behind my artist. As I snuck through the back door, I took in the delicious scent of Vanessa and the notes of the dog she loves so much. But something else was here, something masculine, and it sent my beast on edge. Vanessa was mine. Only I could understand her genius and her creativity. I followed his scent like a bloodhound.…
    • chapter twelve

      by Quinn Hawthorne I tried to wait up that night to see exactly what he would do with that cooler of organs, but I must’ve fallen asleep because I missed it entirely. When I checked again, the cooler was gone, and in its place was a ton of cash in an envelope taped to my door. The envelope was addressed “Thank you for trusting me, Your Biggest Fan.” I closed the door behind me, taking the opportunity to count just how much I made. It was a whopping half a million. Taking a gasping breath, I fell to my knees as tears…
    • chapter three

      by Mae Celeste The light shining on my face made me raise my arm over my eyes to block it, but as my skin touched the back of my eyelids did I remember I wasn't supposed to be here. I can't even fucking kill myself right. I turned my sore and achy body away from the window and hugged my knees to my chest underneath the thin sheet that covered me. The room was bright, decorated in soft blues and creams. Even though I didn't get a good look, I could tell the window was open because it let in a salty sea breeze,…
    • chapter three

      by Quinn Hawthorne “You look like shit,” Saul grunted as he got a good look at me with his piercing black void for eyes. Saul was in his 60s, but his hair was already completely white. He was wearing a plain white shirt underneath his apron, but you could tell just how strong he was from the biceps muscle peeking out from underneath the sleeves. Probably from all the years hauling the animals he butchered for a living. “Just been a rough week.” I shoved my hands into my jeans pockets, shrugging my shoulders…
    • chapter thirty-two

      by Quinn Hawthorne FUCK! I should have paid more attention. How the fuck was she going to realize just how much I paid attention to the details if I couldn’t get the right brand of cereal? I knew she liked cornflakes with berries or banana slices in the morning. So, the question was: are they cornflakes or frosted flakes? Was she that health conscious and ate cornflakes because they were just a non-sugary version? The one social media post where she did post her breakfast was not as specific as I thought it would…
    • chapter thirty-three

      by Quinn Hawthorne As soon as the front door slammed and a car roared to life, I desperately attempted to pull my hand out of the restraints, but my efforts were in vain. I followed the chain and groaned when I realized he attached it to the bar in my headboard, so the only way to get out of the cuffs was by breaking my thumb, breaking the headboard, sawing through the chain, or with the damn key. What a clever fucker! Throwing my head back as hard as I could in frustration, I had to blow a piece of hair that settled…
    • chapter thirty-six

      by Quinn Hawthorne I could feel Orpheus’s fingers sliding in and out of me as he drove us back to my house. The rush of speed and the thrill of what we had just done made me wetter than ever. I leaned back in the seat, my head rested against the window, and let him do whatever he wanted to me. As we sped through the night, I felt a warm trickle between my legs. At first, I thought it was just more of my arousal, but then I realized it was something else entirely when a harsh cramp overcame me. My period had come on full…
    • chapter thirty-seven

      by Quinn Hawthorne I lay there next to Vanessa, her head resting on my chest and my hand stroking her hair. I listened to her breathing, slow and even, and I knew she was asleep. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I thought about what had happened between us tonight. She was mine now in a way no one else could ever be. But as I lay there, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. It wasn’t that I wanted more from Vanessa. It was that I knew she wanted more. She had said Hadrian’s…
