Page 139 of Sinful

I swept her around the tombstones, the snow kicking out around us, dancing beneath the pale moonlight like we were characters from some gothic Victorian romance.

Just me. Her.

And me.

Of course.

Just us.

Perfect.

I smiled down at her, relishing in the way her eyes lit up as I lifted her easily over a low grave marker before spinning her around the next.

Before long, her laughter was bubbling out of her and sounding off into the night while Sin stood and watched as a shadow lurked on the edge of the forest, drinking everything in like he always did.

“Roses and whiskers

Don’t stop the purrs, mister.

This world is too big

To go it alone.”

I sang our song as we moved through the cemetery, her smile growing wider with each word falling from my mouth.

“So follow me through the thicket

And just try to fit through the thorns.

I’ll be right behind you.

No need to be alarmed.”

I spun her again before pulling her against my body and staring down into her pretty eyes before softly singing more to her.

“I’ll love you forever

And need you for always

Remember who we are

When we take the monsters down.

They’ll fall hard

But stick next to us

For in us, you can trust

To get the job done

Our pretty little monster.

No more tears

No more screams

We promise to give you the end to some.
