EXCERPT
“How was your day?” she asked, with the intimacy of a long married couple.
I crossed to the bed and sat beside her, inhaled her scent, the intoxicating mix of expensive bath products and her unique underlying flavor.
“It was good,” I replied and felt her lean towards me. She pressed her little body against mine with such a familiarity that for a moment I almost dropped my guard and flipped her over on the bed for a fuck.
Instead I lifted my arm and let her snuggle in, cozy herself against me and hoped she didn’t feel my heart throbbing against my ribcage in surging desire.
“I was kinda bored,” she said, “is there any way to get cable in here? Maybe internet access? I’ve watched all the DVDs you provided and I’ve read every book a couple of times over.”
That was impressive, I hadn’t thought her the type to read so quickly. She’d been with me almost two weeks now and didn’t seem like the brightest bulb in the box, as they said.
“No cable,” I told her, not wanting her to see the recent coverage on the disappearances from the Waffle House, hers included. “I’ll get you Netflix, how’s that? You can watch movies and TV and such.”
“Sounds good,” she replied, “any chance of wifi or a tablet or something?”
“Not yet,” I said, “Billy’s still out there, who knows where he’ll be watching and waiting to find you. He’s apparently pissed that you got away. I’ve heard through the grapevine that he’s willing to pay top dollar to have you killed.”
She flinched when I said it and dropped her gaze to the floor. “Did you talk to him? Did he…say anything?”
“I haven’t spoken to him directly, I’ve just heard things. You don’t still…care for him, do you?”
“Oh god, no. I don’t know why I wasted so much time with him in first place. I’m so embarrassed that I stuck with him, that you saw…”
Her voice trailed off and she felt stiff against me. She was highly self-conscious of her terrible choices, her shitty background and her impoverished upbringing.
Perfect.
I could deconstruct her and rebuild her into the kind of women she should be. The kind of woman who was worthy of being my Pet.
I had about a month to work on her before the wedding. I promised myself two weeks and I’d be taking her to meet the parents.
A month and she’d meet all my friends, be brought into my social circle and seal my status as normal and right on target.
I squeezed her and moved to get up. Her eyes snapped up to my face and she whispered, “Please don’t leave me, don’t go.”
“Don’t you have enough food? Are you running out of pain meds?”
“It’s not that,” she replied.
“What is it?”
She didn’t reply right away so I hooked my thumb under he chin and pulled her to face me. Her startlingly blue eyes were wet with unshed tears. “I don’t want to be alone,” she said, “Please stay with me. Hold me tonight.”
How could I tell her no? How could I deny her my touch?
I thought about the girl strapped to the table in the warehouse and calculated my odds. She should still be alive by the time I went to her again. For that night I decided to hold my Pet, I caressed her and let her presence wash over me, dispelling the red tide that was rising in me even as I sat back down beside her.
She leaned against me again, my beautiful girl, exquisite in her naked vulnerability.
So delicate and so fragile.
So easy to crush if I gave in, just said fuck it and let the red heat rise.
But I didn’t. I fought it and I fell.
Even farther in love.
MY REVIEW
I HEART BOOKS REVIEW
Serial Volume Two by Jaden Wilkes & Lily White
Review by Jennifer Ballam
Stars: 5
Lily White and Jaden Wilkes have done it, again. They have created a masterpiece of darkness. The first book left us wondering what would happen to Ronnie’s co-worker Noreen who looked set to be the next victim of Jude. What the ‘deal’ was with Agent Donovan and would Ronnie click as to the darkness that lies within Jude.
We have a couple of those queries answered in this instalment but also a few other questions are raised. One is in relation to one of Jude’s friends (sorry no more of my speculations as to why will be divulged), another is in what will happen to the new character introduced (via her POV) in this part of the story, Patty. The final is what is the sense of déjà vu that Jude keeps getting (I think I know at least part due to the back story given this time around), that is going to be an interesting read, how will Ronnie react?
In regards to the FBI agent, we are given a bit more of an insight into his thought processes, and those thoughts are disturbing to say the least. They had me going ‘oh, that’s sick’ for a start! How he will end up at the end of the story is still a mystery, and I love that fact.
Noreen, well we all knew how that was going to turn out. The only query was as to how that was going to come about.
Ronnie, well we all knew she was a deluded woman. Perhaps I had misjudged the full extent of that delusion though. Sick, stupid woman…..
Again I’m not sure how to classify this novel, apart from a deeply disturbing read that keeps you gripped (yup I guess I must be slightly sick and twisted too) and wanting to know how the characters stories will end up. I for one cannot wait to find this out.
Please note that I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

MEET JADEN & LILY
JADEN WILKES
Jaden is the pen name of a girl living on the prettiest farm in BC. She shares her space with her husband, her children, and an Irish Wolfhound named Tiberius. She can now be found lurking in the dark corners of the internet looking for artful porn gifs, dirty poems and places to promo her work.
LILY WHITE
Lily White is a dark writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading...and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.
