    Summary

    “What do you think, angel? Santorini for your birthday, and Zurich to ring in the New Year?”

    “I’ve been thinking about it, and what if we stayed home for my birthday?” Taggie’s fingers skim along the edge of his unshaven jaw. “I thought it might be nice, celebrating at home. Just our friends, and if Helen would let Tab and Marcus stay for a few days before…”

    She trails off, peeking up through her lashes to gauge Rupert’s expression. He grins, sunlight warming her skin, and catches her hand, bringing her palm over to his lips. “Whatever you want, darling. You only turn 22 once.”

     

    Or, Taggie celebrates her first birthday as Mrs. Campbell-Black

    Summary

    She doesn't want someone's hands, she wants Rupert’s heavy, calloused hands—the ones that handle those massive polo mallets with such sickeningly perfect precision—to be the ones bunching the cheap cotton of her skirt in his fists, his eyes the ones to rake over her like he wants to eat her alive, his tongue the one to plunge deep into her mouth til she can't breathe anything that isn't him, his—

    Yeah, she thinks, Shelley is absolutely right.

    Summary

    Summary

    After a catastrophe at Nevermore, Wednesday and Tyler vanish into the underbelly of America. What begins as escape quickly dissolves into something far more dangerous: a descent into fevered passion, blood-soaked nights, debauchery, and old, feral myths that rise to greet them—drawn in by the bond binding monster and girl.

    A crooked smirk slid across his face, his eyes briefly falling before he quietly replied, "If you want to play with the dark...it wants to be played with."

    Her breath caught, the space between them thickening with a heat that suddenly rivaled the cold outside, a hunger unfurling like mist across water, "You sound as if you want me to," She whispered.

    His eyes dragged over her face, lingering on her lips, his voice dropping to a rough pitch that echoed between her thighs, "Maybe I do," He admitted without shame, "Maybe I want to feel what we'd become if you let it out..." He leaned closer, "...and let it...touch you."

    Wednesday swallowed, “I won’t be gentle,” She said breathlessly; her last warning.

    “I don’t want gentle,” Tyler’s voice was a bare whisper laced with the Hyde’s primal arousal, “I want you unhinged.”

    Summary

    “You wouldn’t be trusting me,” he said, lips curling faintly. “You’d be controlling me. Owning me. Don’t tell me that’s not appealing to you. We’re both beyond petty denials.”

    She studied him—every inch of the strained muscles, the fevered eyes, the chains dug into brick. He was desperate, despite all the bravado. That much was obvious. She could smell the tang of his fear hanging in the air like pheromones. He truly was at his last grasp of sanity; a Hyde without a master was only madness driven inwards, layers upon layers of insanity folding in upon itself like a slow-acting implosion. He had no chance at ever being normal, but that didn’t mean she had to leash the beast instead of slay it.

    “Say it,” Wednesday declared.

    Tyler’s head tilted. “Why?”

    “Because I want to hear if you mean it.”

    The corner of his mouth twitched. “You want obedience, or proof?”

    “Both.”
