7 Nights with the Bogeyman

Single mom Selina Sardi would do anything for her 6-year-old son. Eager to turn their new house into a real home for him, she's devastated when she discovers that the monster under his bed is not a figment of his imagination but the real deal.

Elias Zwarteveen started his bogeyman career twenty-four years ago and he has been living in the same attic since. He would love nothing more than a change of scenery, but if he wants to move, he needs to rebuild his strength. The only way to do that is to consume plenty of fear.

Selina and Elias strike a deal. She will feed him her fears for seven nights in a row, after which he will leave and never return. There's nowhere to hide in the small attic room and Elias picks up on fears Selina wasn't even aware of.

Selina and Elias embark on a heated, emotional rollercoaster. What starts as a game of cat and mouse evolves into an intense yearning that will be hard to walk away from. Yet, that is exactly what they intend to do when the week is over.

Seven Nights with the Bogeyman is a steamy monster romance with explicit sex scenes between two consenting adults, written for the ONC2024. Enjoy!
