Now as she walked next to Mikhail, ever conscious of his closeness, Katherine wondered if perhaps she had been too hasty with everything.
Ever since I met him I’ve lost all control. And the thing is…I don’t even care. I like it. I like not having to calculate everything. I like feeling free. I like being able to touch him and not feel like I’m doing something evil. I just like the way I feel when I’m with him.
And that’s just so wrong.

Pained laughter crept forth from his taut mouth. “I don’t do anything to endear myself to you.”
“No, you don’t.”
“Even so I mean what I said, Katharina. I really wish I didn’t love you. Remember that.”
“Sure.” The flippant word couldn’t disguise her pain but Mikhail didn’t attempt to ease it for Katherine.

He’s so nervous. Because of me?
Curiosity stretched forth an insistent claw and pierced Katherine’s neutral state. Her mind suddenly hungered for a connection. Prodded by desires she couldn’t control, Katherine found herself unable to dismiss this boy named Mikhail DeMontier.
I want to know him. Just a little. I won’t go that far. I just want to see what he feels. Anyways, I haven’t done it to anyone for over a year. But it isn’t right to just do this…is it?

“Why do you think I could forgive you for being a whore, Katharina?” Mikhail choked back a sob. “It’s because I know all about whoring yourself for comfort, safety, and greed.”
“That’s not why I did it.” The words fell hard with reproach. “I never did it for gain.”
“I know. You did it to escape life. I did it to cling to it. That’s why I’m a far more disgusting creature than you can ever think to be.”

He leaned forward and pressed his lips hard against hers, eager and hungry for one last kiss, one last caress to take with him. Many minutes later he asked, “Do you mind if I keep holding you?”
“I would like that very much.” Her small hand crept out to play with several of his loose tendrils. “Will you be lonely without me?”
“Yes. But I’ve waited hundreds of lifetimes for you. I can wait another eternity as long as I know you’ll be waiting for me.”

It was my fault. All of it. I know this. So does she. Her hatred burns. But Katherine wasn’t always like this. She still scorched, but I gladly suffered because she was my sun.
Katherine Merror finds herself on the other side, broken but not defeated. Her entire world has changed but she’s determined to wrest control from those who would keep her as a pawn. Mikhail’s desperate love seeks to entrap as strongly as Azer’s obsession sought to free.
I write dark paranormal love (and hate) stories, dark erotic romance, and dark erotica under three different pen names. (What can I say? I like it dark!)
I plan on using this blog to share my newest releases, fiction by other authors I adore, plus music and movies that all speak to my fixation on obsessive love stories.
Read about the three sides of CDC below and hopefully you'll find we share the same likes. :)
Claudia D. Christian plays with vampires, demigods, saints, sinners, and monsters. She mixes love, hate, sex, and violence in equal measure. She crafts endings with hope but makes her characters burn in hell before they get there.
Charlotte DeCorte explores dark erotic romance without a paranormal bent. She writes from the viewpoint that not all relationships are or want to be grounded in the traditional rules of courtship.
D. Cristiana explores the darker side of committed relationships. The settings and situations may be unconventional, the desires corrupt, and the sex explicit, but she’s a firm believer in happy-for-that-particular-couple-endings.
It’s so awesome to know I’m not the only one who’s...
