book on a stickered laptop. not going to try to describe all the stickers because they aren't the point. the book is the Puffin Classics edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula with an introduction by Holly Black. the art on the cover is a fantastic drawing of Dracula in profile with long hair and a top hat. it's black and white with red accents. nowhere in the front copy pages could I find the artist's name. and that kind of massively sucks, but also...trad publishing, so what are you gonna do?

‟On your belly, kitten,” Soren ordered, crouched at the foot of the bed between Dominik’s legs. The witch scrambled to obey, muscles flexing under the sigils across his back. With deliberate strokes, Soren dug his fingers into Dominik’s leg muscles, moving ever closer until he nipped at the firm mound of Dominik’s ass. ‟I’m coming back for this,” he murmured to himself. The divots at the base of Dominik’s spine held a special fascination for Soren. He found himself circling each dimple with his tongue like they held treasures for him to unearth. Beneath him, Dominik began his pleas once more, though they verged on unintelligible. With reluctance, he left off his laving and climbed the arch of his witch’s spine, tongue curling over sigils and leaves and feathered wings. He traced spirals with his lips and rippling muscle with his fingers. By the time he reached the nape of Dominik’s neck once more, their bodies pressed together, his erection against the small of Dominik’s back, they were both panting.

It was like hitting a wall at full speed. Breath became a myth, and I sank into the chill that pervaded everything. Darkness deeper than anything I could have imagined claimed me all at once. My only companion for the journey out of this life was that sensual voice speaking four words that felt like absolution and condemnation at the same time. See you soon, doll.

background image is a monochrome image of a city, bridge, and water. snippet from Right Side of the Crossroads: My feet carried me up stairs and through a metal door. Humid air shocked me back to my senses. Sucking in a deep breath filled with the scent of night and river water, I walked to the edge of the deck. From where I stood, fingers wrapped around the railing so hard my knuckles were white, I could see the large paddles at the back of the boat to my right. The edges gleamed in the moonlight, blocking the lights of the neighboring boats and festivities. That little piece of deck was an oasis in the chaos my life had become—almost a world unto itself where nothing existed beyond the sultry summer air and my next breath. And just like that, panic hit.

snippet from "necromancerWIP" (in italics) You were a bit of fun, Des. A taste of the forbidden. Poor and pretty. And clearly off your nut. Did you really think it could ever have been more? (not italics) Yeah, well. He had. Desmond had thought Zach cared. No, not Zach. Riah. In the soft moments of their time together and in the recesses of his heart, Desmond had fallen in love with Riah. It was only later he discovered that Riah hadn’t even been real. There was only Zach, the flippant and cruel man-about-town who used and discarded people on whim.
