Excerpt
Keeley struggled
to escape the demon’s hold. His hands were all over her, furiously pulling. She
saw the fire licking along the gaping hole he wanted her in. If she could just
stay where she was, Tar would come back for her. He promised to help her fight
these demons. That he wasn’t afraid of her darkness. Yet his last words echoed
in her ears, a loud clanging like a gong, “I. Did.” Did…did…did.
He did love her.
He did promise
to fight for her.
He did vow to
help her.
And now, now he
was gone. She slammed her fists down hard enough to break her hands on the
cold, unforgiving cement as she screamed and screamed for him, “Taaaaaaarrrrrr!
How could you leave me? Why didn’t you do as you said?” Damn him! He’d told her
once before, ‘I do what I say when I say I’m going to do it.’ Fucking liar!
The demon
recoiled and hissed, “Love. Light. How can it still be here?” But there was no
sense denying what he saw all around Keeley. Protecting her. A shield over her.
He fought again to grab a hold of her and yank with all he had, yet there was
resistance. He searched for the source. There it was in the form of a man. Even
Strand. Fuck him!
He slid his
tongue in Keeley’s ear and whispered, “He’s in love with your sister. She’s the
only reason he’s here. E doesn’t give a shit about you. It’s all for
Lacey—always Lacey. You’re never going to have that kind of devotion. Girls
like you don’t deserve to be loved, honored and cherished. Look, Tarius proved
that when he left you here. Come, my dark angel.” He snaked his hand between
her legs as she tried to pull away from him. “Yesssssss, I can give you what
you want.” He ran his razor sharp nail along her.
Both looked down
at the blood trail he left. She struggled once more and shrieked, “No! I don’t
want this.”
“Keeley, no
human can give you what you desperately crave…torturous pain.”
She could feel
him gaining strength and jerked forward with enough force her head hit the
concrete with a sickening crack. Keeley would rather be dead than leave with
the monster that had Caleb’s face. To prove that to herself and the corpse, she
repeated the action. Her vision was fading in and out as a distant voice called
out to her.
At least she
would die her way.
