I crossed to the bed and sat beside her, inhaled her scent, the intoxicating mix of expensive bath products and her unique underlying flavor.
“It was good,” I replied and felt her lean towards me. She pressed her little body against mine with such a familiarity that for a moment I almost dropped my guard and flipped her over on the bed for a fuck.
Instead I lifted my arm and let her snuggle in, cozy herself against me and hoped she didn’t feel my heart throbbing against my ribcage in surging desire.
“I was kinda bored,” she said, “is there any way to get cable in here? Maybe internet access? I’ve watched all the DVDs you provided and I’ve read every book a couple of times over.”
That was impressive, I hadn’t thought her the type to read so quickly. She’d been with me almost two weeks now and didn’t seem like the brightest bulb in the box, as they said.
“No cable,” I told her, not wanting her to see the recent coverage on the disappearances from the Waffle House, hers included. “I’ll get you Netflix, how’s that? You can watch movies and TV and such.”
“Sounds good,” she replied, “any chance of wifi or a tablet or something?”
“Not yet,” I said, “Billy’s still out there, who knows where he’ll be watching and waiting to find you. He’s apparently pissed that you got away. I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s willing to pay top dollar to have you killed.”
She flinched when I said it and dropped her gaze to the floor. “Did you talk to him? Did he…say anything?”
“I haven’t spoken to him directly, I’ve just heard things. You don’t still…care for him, do you?”
“Oh god, no. I don’t know why I wasted so much time with him in first place. I’m so embarrassed that I stuck with him, that you saw…”
Her voice trailed off and she felt stiff against me. She was highly self-conscious of her terrible choices, her shitty background and her impoverished upbringing.
Perfect.
I could deconstruct her and rebuild her into the kind of women she should be. The kind of woman who was worthy of being my Pet.
I had about a month to work on her before the wedding. I promised myself two weeks and I’d be taking her to meet the parents.
A month and she’d meet all my friends, be brought into my social circle and seal my status as normal and right on target.
I squeezed her and moved to get up. Her eyes snapped up to my face and she whispered, “Please don’t leave me, don’t go.”
“Don’t you have enough food? Are you running out of pain meds?”
“It’s not that,” she replied.
“What is it?”
She didn’t reply right away so I hooked my thumb under he chin and pulled her to face me. Her startlingly blue eyes were wet with unshed tears. “I don’t want to be alone,” she said, “Please stay with me. Hold me tonight.”
How could I tell her no? How could I deny her my touch?
I thought about the girl strapped to the table in the warehouse and calculated my odds. She should still be alive by the time I went to her again. For that night I decided to hold my Pet, I caressed her and let her presence wash over me, dispelling the red tide that was rising in me even as I sat back down beside her.
She leaned against me again, my beautiful girl, exquisite in her naked vulnerability.
So delicate and so fragile.
So easy to crush if I gave in, just said fuck it and let the red heat rise.
But I didn’t. I fought it and I fell.
Even farther in love.
In Serial #2 we are introduced to another victim, Patty Wilson. We learn quite a bit about her but I am not saying anything because I hate spoilers. I'm hoping he'll find a caring bone in that sadistic body of his and keep her alive, but not so sure that'll happen.
We also get into the mind of Detective Donovan Blake much more in this volume. He has a snarky side to him and is willing to do what it takes to bring down the CK killer. His patience is wearing thin and he decides to goes public with information about CK to lure him into making a mistake. Will it work or backfire on him?
"I, too, enjoyed the feeling of ultimate control; however I didn't need to kill a b*tch to achieve it. I'd taken a different route, one that gave me license to hunt and to kill if it was needed. Most importantly, and what most people didn't realize, was that I'm just as dark as CK, maybe even more so. To others, this profession is a lonesome job that sucks the life out of you day after day an crime scene after crime scene. A man couldn't look into the bowels of hell for too long before losing the ignorant hope that life wasn't all that bad. However, I fed on the scenes, on the job and the realization that evil existed in every place and that is was my job to hunt it down." -Detective Blake
Ronnie is still being held captive in this book. What will she do when she finds out who Jude is? She knows that her life has not been a box of chocolates and that maybe this is the life she should be living even if it were to end sooner rather than later.
"I wondering if my life now was horrible because of the fact that my childhood was horrible."-Ronnie
On a side note: I'm thinking that along with serials being popular so are the cliffhangers attached to them! This one has a major cliffy but so worth the read! I give Serial #2 FOUR stars.

Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading...and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.
