“Be gentle, please”, she only muttered the words, but he heard her, however he had no intentions of obeying her. Already standing over the weak hu...an form of Aphrodite, his sharp talons ran down her neck, beads of liquid appeared on top of her soft skin. Smearing the blood on his index finger, Thanatos lifted the warm substance to his lips; the bitter sweetness hit every taste bud, that tiny drop of juice making his bloodlust kick in at full throttle. Damn, her blood was good.In one fluid. He retook his previous position, grinding his cock into her ass once again. He knew she was already wet and dying to get out of her panties, ready for him to take her. He set about unzipping her skirt and sliding it off her hips and down her legs. It joined the rest of her clothes on the floor.

I tried. I made myself go back one night after another. It was just a house, a thing of mortar and wood and glass. There was no such thing as ghosts.

I felt that if I suddenly clicked on the lights, I'd catch her lying next to me with that half smile that made me nickname her "Mona" for the first years of our marriage because of her resemblance. It was a few incheslonger than my dress. A bit of extra wrapping until I got to theoffice.I was glad that I didn't have to wait long at the bus-stop. It was oneof the regular drivers. He sort of recognised my face, but took a lookat my photo card season ticket and then looked at my bust. He didn'tsay anything. Just sort of smiled. I sat near the front, wondering ifthere was anyone behind me who recognised me.I was quite relieved to arrive safely at the office. I was a littleearly, but Mary was.
