All Comments on 'Thirst Ch. 02'

This chapter was amazingly written. We are given a direct path to Monroe's inner psyche. It gives us a complete description of her complex personality, particularly highlighting her flaws.

I found it interesting how it began with her drinking, which could be considered a mundane vice, but in the end, we understand what she is truly addicted to. It's remarkable how little restraint she has over her own hunger and lustful desires. 🔥

The way you describe the physicality of your characters is so exquisite and thoughtfully done. It is clear that you took your time to describe him in a manner that allows the reader to vividly recreate him inside their minds. This passage left me breathless. I can grasp why he is so alluring and irresistible to our main character. 😌

"Monroe resisted the urge to let her gaze travel downward from his studded belt, holding up a pair of fitted black jeans, to his bulge…she looked anyway, pursing her lips as she admired the convex shape of his fly."

Certainly, there's more at play here than mere starvation. There's a strong sexual undertone; she desires something beyond just blood. It's quite interesting how distinct they are from each other, yet their teasing and banter is so in sync. They both challenge the established norms and traditions, but they differ in their approaches to accomplish their goals.

"The world exploded in color and sensation. His moan was quiet but it might as well have been shouted into her ear; colors became incredibly vivid, and even the muted grays and browns became vibrant and rich shades of blue sky and living earth. The taste of his blood was like none other, heady and thick, richer than any she’d fed on - any mortal, any living creature she’d drunk from prior to this experience may as well have been filled with straw and dust."

This was one of my favorites! The way you described the addictive sensation of his blood rushing through her veins, like an intense psychedelic drug altering her senses. But with this man, it goes beyond mere starvation; there's something intensely biological in his own blood. 🩸

Oh, and of course, it wasn't her first time drinking too much and letting herself get carried away by her hunger. That's what makes her flawed and interesting, and it might eventually lead to her downfall if she doesn't muster the strength to control it before it controls her.
