Artemis
has never relied on a man for anything. When she moves in with her
biker boyfriend Budd and his teenaged son Vincent, she worries she’s
losing her independence. Little does Artemis know the moment she sets
foot inside Budd’s big house, family dynamics will be the least of her
worries.
Something
strange lives in Budd’s creaky old house, and it’s far more powerful
than any human being. Artemis senses it watching her. She feels it when,
out of the blue, a slimy monster tongue licks her neck. She watches it
possess every man who looks her way. How could she anticipate the
intense, horrific evil she would encounter in Budd’s home?
To
save her new family from an obsessive monster, Artemis must learn to
accept help from the man who loves her. Can she swallow her pride…
before it’s too late?
An erotic novella with a generous helping of horror from award-winning author Giselle Renarde.
Excerpt:
Closing her eyes, Artemis rested against the wall, listening to Budd and Vincent’s deep voices somewhere in the house. She couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it was obviously about her. Sometimes she felt like she’d never be wanted anywhere she ended up.
That thought was pushed from her mind by a voice even deeper even than Budd’s. Growling, violently, it said, “You’re mine now.”
Artemis jumped up from the floor, looking all around the room. She felt like somebody was in there with her, but she couldn’t see anyone. Tentatively, she opened the large wooden wardrobe, half expecting one of Vincent’s squirrelly friends to jump out at her. It was empty, except for a little wooden box with strange words carved all around the sides. Curiosity erased the tension of the moment, but as she lifted the lid, shivers ran down her spine. The dread returned, even though the box was empty.
Something was in the room with her, watching her. She was sure of it. Something disturbing and malevolent. The hair stood up all along her arms. She felt like she’d been licked up and down her neck by a dirty old man, and she wiped it with the sleeve of her shirt, again and again, convinced she was removing someone’s saliva from her skin.
The bedroom door squealed open, and she screamed.
Budd chuckled. “Jumpy, jumpy!”
“Sorry, I thought I… heard something.” Artemis shook her head, then pressed the ill-fitting lid back on the wooden box. “I don’t know.”
