Haunting-Adeline
And then I’m driving into her ght heat, not giving either of us a momentto prepare for it. She cries out, her back arching and her claws sharpenedas she scores them down my arms.“Jesus fuckin—” her words are cut off from another sharp thrust, a moanreplacing her sinful words.I shudder, my control completely in ta ers as I drive into her, fucking herso hard that I’m forced to keep dragging her back down towards me.Sharp screams fill the air and there’s a moment where the pitch is sohigh, I fear I broke something inside of her.But then her pussy clamps ght, making it almost impossible to movebefore she comes around my cock, her body nearly convulsing from thepower.My name falls from her lips, but I can’t stop. The sound of our skinslapping and her garbled words bounce off the windows surrounding us asI con nue to slam into her.Her ny throat is in my hand, squeezing un l she can no longer u er aword. A hand wraps around my arm, branding bloody crescent moons intomy skin as she fights for oxygen. I’ll gladly sacrifice my name on her tongueif it means climbing up to heaven with her.I bare my teeth, intense pleasure racing down my spine and building atthe base.Fuck, I feel the explosion right at the precipice. Parsons Manor willalways be des ned to be the house that burns and takes lives.“Give me another, baby,” I urge, my other hand reaching down un l mythumb circles her clit.Her face pinkens, nearing red when she falls back over. I release herthroat, the dizzying rush from lack of oxygen coupled with her orgasm hasher back coming en rely off the floor. Like a woman possessed, she clingsto me, as more scratches are torn into my skin.Gnashing my teeth, I sit back, bringing her squirming body with me un lI’m kneeling with her legs wrapped ghtly around my waist.She gyrates down onto me relentlessly, riding out her orgasm and pullingme down over the edge with her. I come with a roar, clutching her to mychest so ghtly that we’re both only capable of small, jerky movements aswe grind into each other.
I lose myself. My name. My iden ty. My soul. It’s been hurdled away intothe vortex our bodies have created. Like being sucked into a wormhole andkicked out into a new universe.And when we come down, the stars surrounding us suddenly look so dulland lifeless compared to the ones shining in her eyes.“I have an extrac on tomorrow. It’s what I’ve been building up to formonths now,” I say, my fingers tracing across her bare back. “It’s going tobe pre y dangerous. I just want you to be aware of that.”Addie’s head li s, her face much more visible now that we’re in a roomhoused in windows. I can see the barest hint of the freckles dus ng hernose and cheeks, and I want to kiss each and every one of them.We collapsed a er I fucked us both stupid, and neither of us has feltinclined to get up since.“Is it the rituals?”I nod and tell her all about the night I had. She was aware of the fuckedupdinner party, and when I tell her it was successful, her face so ens withrelief.“I can’t wrap my head around people actually doing that. People justcame over and sat at that table as if they were going to eat fucking lobstertail?”“Yeah,” I murmur. I bite my lip, a shit-ea ng grin already forming on myface for what I’m about to tell her. Her head just se led back on my chestwhen I say, “The li le girl I saved, Sarah? She asked if I’d be her daddy.”Addie’s head snaps up so quickly, she comes close to breaking it.“Careful, this world would be in trouble if you died.”Her mouth flops. “What did you say?”I shrug. “I didn’t really get to say anything. She had to leave so I could goget fake arrested. If I didn’t, Dan and the Society might’ve found the raidtoo convenient. Luckily, I was able to play it on a charge that Dan hasgo en in the past.”She blinks. “Would you? Adopt her, I mean?”

I lose myself. My name. My iden ty. My soul. It’s been hurdled away into
the vortex our bodies have created. Like being sucked into a wormhole and
kicked out into a new universe.
And when we come down, the stars surrounding us suddenly look so dull
and lifeless compared to the ones shining in her eyes.
“I have an extrac on tomorrow. It’s what I’ve been building up to for
months now,” I say, my fingers tracing across her bare back. “It’s going to
be pre y dangerous. I just want you to be aware of that.”
Addie’s head li s, her face much more visible now that we’re in a room
housed in windows. I can see the barest hint of the freckles dus ng her
nose and cheeks, and I want to kiss each and every one of them.
We collapsed a er I fucked us both stupid, and neither of us has felt
inclined to get up since.
“Is it the rituals?”
I nod and tell her all about the night I had. She was aware of the fuckedup
dinner party, and when I tell her it was successful, her face so ens with
relief.
“I can’t wrap my head around people actually doing that. People just
came over and sat at that table as if they were going to eat fucking lobster
tail?”
“Yeah,” I murmur. I bite my lip, a shit-ea ng grin already forming on my
face for what I’m about to tell her. Her head just se led back on my chest
when I say, “The li le girl I saved, Sarah? She asked if I’d be her daddy.”
Addie’s head snaps up so quickly, she comes close to breaking it.
“Careful, this world would be in trouble if you died.”
Her mouth flops. “What did you say?”
I shrug. “I didn’t really get to say anything. She had to leave so I could go
get fake arrested. If I didn’t, Dan and the Society might’ve found the raid
too convenient. Luckily, I was able to play it on a charge that Dan has
