Chapter 199

His fingers picked at the locks pushing them behind my ear and then I felt him bend more, his breath on my skin, his lips skimmed past my ear but this time, instead of throes of pleasure, I felt disgusted, "Do you know why they call me D'yavol?" And instantly I remembered the Woman's words. The woman with the nice necklace at the fair. She was referring to him, and it clicked. I gulped and shook my head.
