What begins as fascination quickly deepens into desire and soon blossoms into a love that defies every expectation. Théo has watched Victoria from rooftops, waiting for the right moment. When he finally approaches her, their connection is instant, and their chemistry is undeniable. What starts as attraction quickly deepens, and for the first time in centuries, he believes love might be within reach and worth everything.Excerpt:"e;Discard your dress before I rip it to shreds,"e; Théo growled.A shiver of anticipation washed over me, and my core clenched at the promise of what was to come."e;What if I want you to rip it?"e; I asked, not attached to my lavish gown, as it was one of many.Théo rumbled low, extending his hand and showing the dangerous talons adorning each finger. Slowly and deliberately, he ripped the fabric between my breasts using his sharp claw. My nipples hardened as the soft fabric slid away from them. My dress had an open back, making it impossible for me to wear a bra with it. I trembled with desire, ready to be naked in front of him. He took his time shredding my dress, exposing my naked skin inch by inch. Goosebumps traveled over the spots he brushed with his claws, but he was careful not to leave any lasting marks. Somehow, I wanted him to mark me and show the world the handsome Gargoyle had claimed me as his."e;Please,"e; I whispered as he pulled away the last piece of fabric, leaving me naked except for my panties."e;You beg so beautifully, Victoria. No Creature or Beast could ever deny you anything,"e; Théo said, fingering my panties with his claw."e;I only need one creature of the night,"e; I said.His eyes shot to mine. The green burned bright with lust and desire. "e;After tonight, there will be only one for you,"e; Théo growled, ripping my panties away. --------- Reader advisory: This story contains explicit sex scenes between a Gargoyle and a human FMC.
