Recommendation
Who knew you could find love in a psych ward? Megan and Dexter‘s descent into madness together is a journey that I won’t soon forget. They are the definition of meant to be, in the most disturbed way possible. Imagine Bonnie and Clyde but so much more twisted. I knew Dexter had a plan in the beginning but I don’t think he realized just how intoxicated he would become with Megan. It was like watching someone slowly drown and have no intention of being saved. At one point you’re honestly questioning who is more psychotic. The twists are what got me. I thought I had it figured out and then BOOM, something would happen and I’d be in complete shock. Even though it was such a mindfuck of a story, I loved the way he was obsessed with her and how possessive he was. I’m a sucker for a crazy alpha! 🔥 “She’s wearing panties. If we had fucked, they’d be shredded on the floor like her dress.” 🔥 Shandi, you blew my mind with this intense thriller! Well done!!!
Excerpts
When I lean in close to the brunette’s side, the hairs on her nape prickle from my nearness. That’s not unusual. My attention does that to both men and women. The women want to fuck me. The men want to be me.
My last thought is appropriate when our kiss ends up nothing like I expected. Dexter doesn’t devour my mouth in slow, tantalizing licks and sucks. He sinks his teeth into my lower lip, biting it so painfully, blood tingles my taste buds.
She doesn’t want to be wined and dined. She wants to be consumed, devoured, and possessed. You don’t win her by sniffing her hair like a man without a dick. You show her how bad it will be without you before giving her a taste of the darkness that comes with you.
