Chapter Ten
     
    Paden threw his goggles across the garage then ran a hand through his hair. She was driving him mad. He didn’t know what to do. Her eyes were changing, slowly losing that sad, lost emptiness that had drawn him in, seduced him. Those eyes he could relate to, he could handle, maybe even keep the monster tamed because it would all be meaningless. Being with her would’ve meant nothing.
    Except now, whenever she looked his way, her gaze held eagerness and a hint of excitement. She wanted him, and the problem he faced was the fact that he wanted her back.
    The demon woke up. He could feel it stirring.
    “Fuck!” he yelled and picked up one of his kitchen chairs and threw it against the refrigerator. The monster really liked the violence. It liked the destruction and urged him on.
    He opened drawers, looking for the knife. When his search of the kitchen proved fruitless, he stalked into his bedroom and checked the nightstand. There it lay, dull silver gleaming in the hallway light. He stared at the blade, straight edged and sharp. The demon moaned, calling for it.
    It scared him that the knife had been in his bedroom yet he had no knowledge of putting it there.
    His mind went blank as he reached for it, clutching it in one hand. With the other hand he unzipped his pants, popping the top button. He reached into his shorts and gripped his hard shaft, using the moisture that leaked from the tip to coat the velvety skin. He pumped, up and down, squeezing the end just enough to please the monster, the revolting demon that lived inside his head.
    He closed his eyes as he fisted himself. Thea came immediately to mind, the woman who’d awaked a monster long thought dead. In his mind, he undressed her, slowly, kissing every inch of skin he exposed. Sinking into the vortex between her legs and lapping at her cream, he would take the moans mewling from her mouth and feast on them. He parted her further, able to slide one finger into her sweet pussy. Her hips bucked as she cried out his name, and the hand holding his cock squeezed as he heard her breathless whimpering of his name. He could almost feel her body tighten as he sucked in her clit, using his tongue to tease the sensitive nub. And as she came, as her juices ran over his tongue and face, the hand holding the knife sliced down on his leg.
    He exploded in a climax that shook his very soul.

    “I found a place for you to live,” Miki said causally the next day as Thea was changing the coffee filter.
    “Oh,” Thea replied, concentrating on the pouring the grounds. “That’s great. But how long do you think it’ll be before Hank can fly back?”
    “Not before the hotel shuts down on Saturday.”
    Thea grunted. “Good point. Where is it?”
    “Here!”
    Thea paused and looked at her friend. “Here? At the Suinnak?”
    Miki clapped her hands, clearly excited. “I can put all of Hank’s stuff in the shed, and you can use his room.”
    “Oh, Miki, I don’t know. I don’t sleep very well. I would hate for my insomnia to—”
    “Pfft,” Miki said, waving away the protest. “I sleep so soundly a nuclear bomb could go off and I’d not hear it. I would love to have you, and this way you won’t have to worry about forking out any money for rent.”
    “I would want to pay rent, Miki.”
    “Listen, you work here for food. Let’s just add the room, too. That way I won’t feel so bad taking advantage of you. Besides, options are kind of limited.”
    Thea sighed and nodded. “All right, thank you, Miki.”
    The other woman actually squealed a little before moving away to tell all the patrons about Thea’s new living situation. Everyone congratulated her, and Miki treated them all to a round of scotch. Thea thought it was a good thing there were only six people left in the restaurant.
    She waited for Paden to show, but he never came.
    She tried to hide her disappointment, but she couldn’t tell
