The vampire's king mermaid.
"To flee one monster she gave herself to another "
âLittle fish, where do you think youâre going to?â Damienâs tone was mocking, his eyes glinting with cruel amusement. âYou know going back there means going back to him. Or perhapsâŠâ his lips curved, âare you interested in incest?â
Bellaâs cheeks burned red with shame and anger. âIâm just worried about my mother,â she said quickly.
âOh, donât worry.â Damienâs smile turned sinful. âWhy donât we make another deal? This time, I want more than your blood.â
Bellaâs chest tightened. She knew whatever deal he offered would leave her cheatedâjust like before, when heâd promised to help her escape Marcus in exchange for her blood, while secretly asking her father to gift her to him.
âWhat do you want?â she asked, her voice doubtful.
âSeems like my little goldfish is getting clever,â Damien drawled. âBut itâs not like you have much of a choice.â
âAt least this time Iâll know what Iâm getting into,â Bella reasoned, though her voice trembled.
He moved closer, his presence swallowing the space between them. His head dipped low, as if to murmur a secret, his lips dangerously close to hers.
âI want your body,â Damien whispered, voice like velvet over steel. âAnd your soulâin full.
