“I can bite off a limb with my teeth,” I informed her, morbid curiosity pushing me to test her limits. “My jaw can unhinge. I once bit off a foot, you know. It was a dirty move, but effective.”

“How did it taste?” she asked in a weak, hollow voice, still too shellshocked to react.

I cackled. No one had ever asked me that before. “Like a foot. I don’t recommend it. I’d give it zero stars out of five.”

She nodded seriously, like I’d given her a perfectly sane answer. I watched her a moment longer, waiting for the screaming, the running, something.

Not even the most hardcore fetishistic girls in theMonster Toasterclub could handle my mouth. It was a pity, too. I never got to eat pussy because the teeth freaked them out.

After another long moment, Barbara cleared her throat, picked up her spoon, and piled on another bite of food. I watched with dawning realization as she raised it—to her mouth,not mine. She would eat with that spoon. The same spoon I wrapped my tongue around.

Right after she saw my teeth.

I couldn’t tear my eyes away as she put it in her mouth, sighing softly. She wasn’t disgusted. Not at all.

Pink exploded across my eyes, and I slapped myself hard, desperately trying to stay sane. She gave me a startled look. I slapped the other side of my face for good measure, groaning helplessly.

I was rock hard.

This woman sat there, fully clothed and completely unattainable, eating fuckingpieand not in a sexy way, and I was harder than I’d ever been in my life. It hurt. My armor dug into my dick, which strained against the plates, trying to get free.

Or better yet, inside her.

When the pain won out, I let the plates pull backjust a bit.Just enough to give myself breathing room. Unfortunately, I overdid it, and suddenly, a big bulge strained against my pants.

“Are you okay?” she asked, leaning in to get a better look at my face.

Don’t look down,I begged her in my mind, nodding frantically. “Yeah, fine, fine. Just, uh. Good. Hey, look! What’s that?”

I pointed behind her. Barbara turned, and I used those precious few seconds to yank the pillow that sat behind my back and put it in my lap. When she turned back with a confused frown, I grinned.

“I thought I saw a spider. Are you afraid of spiders? I’ll catch them all if you are.”

Fuck. Idiot. Shut up!

She smiled. “No, actually. There are plenty of spiders in the stables. And spiders eat mosquitoes, for which I am always grateful.”

“I’ll eat all your mosquitoes,” I blurted out, staring at her with mesmerized awe. My brain turned off completely, leaving my dick in charge.

And my dick, as it turned out, was very eager to please.

She laughed warmly, the sound like a stroke along my shaft. I almost groaned in pleasure. Fuck,why? What was wrong with me?

“I think you have bigger threats on your plate,” she said, combining another bite of dessert. “But thank you. Want some more?”

It was embarrassing how quickly I dove for that piece of pie, taking the spoon in my mouth this time. I licked it extra good so it would all be covered in my saliva. Maybe it was gross, but fuck, watching her eat with that spoon was my new fucking kink.

Did that mean I was becoming vanilla? Or, well, blueberry?

She gave me a shy smile and looked away, getting a bite herself. I had no way of knowing if she blushed or not, because the entire world was pink.

It was my new favorite color.

Chapter 16

Barbara

Icouldn’t sleep that night, so I sat in my window nook, looking out for that familiar ember of Phantom’s cigarette. It appeared soon enough, and then suddenly, white light turned on, revealing Phantom himself. He had a flashlight that he turned on his face to give me an eerie grin while he waved with his hand holding the cigarette.
