The Beast

His personality changed so quickly it was scary. One second I was looking into an endless pool of affection, and the next, I was like a deer in headlights - staring straight into the catlike eyes of a beast that could snap battleship chains like thread.

I placed a hand on his cheek and instantly the wild demon inside of him was at bay. I smiled, murmuring a soft I love you. And gently, tentatively, the beast kissed me, like I was fragile as crystal.
