'Stop talking to me, I am trying to sleep.' I think grumpily, turning over in my bed and tucking the covers over my shoulders. My mind feels full, stuffed with Mato as he lolls inside it lazily. 'I can't, I love talking to you. Besides, it's too early for sleep." Mato whispers while invisible fingers caress my subconscious, my body shivers in response. 'I wish I could touch you, you think your body sings for me now..." another caress, this one sharper, like nails dragging over flesh, fills me with sinful promise. __________ Mika is cursed.
