    Summary

    Perhaps it was her eyes, he thought. Or her laughter. Perhaps it was just her energy, lighting up whatever room she was in, so joyful and so bright. So alive.
    It could be one specific thing or the entirety of her, but something about this woman awakened a hunger in him, a craving for her presence. In his thirty-three years in life and two-hundred in death, Colin has never felt such drawn to another person, such obsessive need to own someone

     

    -------------
    Penelope moves into a, unbeknown to her, haunted house. Colin, the original owner of the centuries old building becomes a little too attached to his new companion.

    Summary

    “Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.

    “Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.

    “Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.

    It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.

    With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.

    Summary

    It all changes so quickly - savage terrors hunting in the night, a curse that could destroy everything Colin has ever known. Amid the grandeur of opulent estates and moonlit gardens, the line between human and beast blurs.

    But, just maybe, even monsters can find love.
