Days dissolved into weeks inside the rotting, forgotten house. Marrow, the living incarnation of every cruel human compulsion, stood over his captive. He had punished her defiance with savage force, hurling her body against the splintered floor. As tears traced paths through the dirt on her cheeks and her weak fists beat against his chest, the demon froze.

With a furious snarl, he shoved her aside, spat a curse, and stormed up the stairs to the bathroom, locking the door behind him to deal with his shameful arousal alone.
