Your monsters may be disguised under layers of good manners and pretty smiles, but I see them. They’re in the wicked flash of those beautiful eyes, the knife edge of that sharp tongue; I taste them on your lips every time they press into mine.” He stepped into me, his warm breath drifting over the shell of my ear as he tucked closer. “Tell me I’m wrong, I dare you to try.”
