I'm glad you guys like this one! The book is part of a Halloween anthology releasing October 29th with Silver Publisher. Continuing on to finish out this little scene:
He said nothing, just leaned close and flicked his tongue across my cheek, absorbing the salty tear escaping my eye. “Shh,” he whispered, raising a long claw to wipe the tears away. “Don’t cry, Billie, I don’t want to hurt you. I’m going to keep you.” Smiling, he tilted his head. “You’ll be my greatest treasure.”
Ooooo-weeeeee-ooooooo. lol, have a great week!

I don't know if this sounds sweet, or creepy... He is an intriguing character :)
I'm going for creepy!! Should your character be afraid? Very well done :)
Flicked a tear away got me until I read "with his long claw" . Not so sure he's a good guy.
Eerie. Long claw? Licking her tear? Not a guy I'd want to keep me as his greatest treasure.
