About the Author

“You’ll think about it, though, won’t you?” she asks. She lies back on the bed and wraps her hands around the bedposts. It is eerily similar to how the latest victim had been secured to her bed, but Gretchen couldn’t know that. She arches her back and moans, and Archie feels a twinge of heat in his groin.

“Good-bye,” he says, looking for his socks.

She lets go of the bedposts and wriggles toward him on the bed. “Stay longer,” she purrs.

“I can’t,” Archie says. “I have to get home. They’re waiting for me.” He sighs and pulls on his pants, already feeling the knot of guilt and shame that tightens in his chest every time he leaves her house. “It’s my birthday.”
