I shouldn’t be so pissed with her… but fucking hell. What the hell was she thinking? If Korin knew Maddison had hacked into his archives, no one would be able to stop the asshole from taking his revenge. Not with who his father was…
I stomped through the desert, away from the human woman who had my heart, and into the night. If I stayed near her, I’d say… or do something which I would regret. Like drain her dry… I was itching to taste her blood. To feel her fire, to drown in the ambrosia, which was her life force, it was making my nature a little feral.
Somewhere in the night, a phone rang and I sighed, stopping and sat on a giant boulder, pulling the device from my pocket and looked at the flashing screen.
Great.
Abe.
Shutting off the phone I knew I was playing with fire, when it came to my brother. While time had calmed him a little… I knew it wouldn’t take much for him to lose his shit complet
As I pushed open the door, stepping inside the hotel room, the scent of rotting blood assaulted my nose and my gun was in my hand, before the light switch even came on. As the room was flooded with harsh light, my gaze moved to the figure standing in the middle of my hotel room.“Well, hello Miss Brennan.”Korin James stood in the middle of the room, his grin alarming, in the light. The pistol in my hand rose and I levelled it at him, as he took a step toward me, as if I wasn’t a threat. “What the fuck are you doing in my room?”The vampire’s gaze lowered to my body, and I felt it travel over my figure, as if covering me in a thick layer of ooze. The thought to run to Tony and Maddison, or to scream, coming to mind, but I knew it would be easier and quicker to shoot this asshole in the head and deal with the aftermath later.Why the fuck had I sent Rhayden away so quickly? If he were here, then this would be a whole lot
Fuck… there it was.Rhayden had warned me about snooping into Korin’s archives, of what might happen. I had just hoped it would have taken him a bit longer before he realized we’d been in there. Enough time to find something. Anything. But we hadn't been able to even peek... “We needed information.”“What kind of information?”“The kind you wouldn't give willingly.” I replied and his eyes paled back to brown, mouth closing over his fangs. He sat back against the chair, adjusting his jacket as he stared at me, as if waiting for me to continue… so I did. “We needed to know what you were doing. See if there was any link between you and Vince. With you and the Mated being slaughtered.”“And why would there be a link?”“There are too many factors which are similar. Same brand of extinguisher, same method of death, even the same flites in the arrows. What would yo
It had taken everything in me not to have sprayed Marley’s hotel room with Korin’s thick, putrid blood. How fucking dare he be in her room without permission. I didn't give a fuck that he owned the hotel, or half the buildings in the street. He had been told my hunter was off limits.I could have handled the snide remarks, as I had warned him away from her the night before, or the mentions of his sleazy antics towards Marley… but to find her one swipe of his claws away from death… to have him to close to her, that he could have leaned in and kissed her... that had been one step too far. When I had asked Rhayden to leave Vegas, the only other option was to be there myself
Absinthe gripped my hips, allowing me to rock against him. The pleasure built, his hands tightening on my hips and my orgasm peaked. Throwing back my head back, I cried out. “Abe!”He sat up, bringing me closer to him. I tipped forward, allowing him to grip my ass and lift me a little, ramming into me. Fangs nipped at my throat, heightening the pleasure, before he sealed them with a stroke of his tongue. Then he bit down, drawing a mouthful of blood, before raking his tongue over the marks again, his voice thick with lust as he moaned my name. “Marley.”My orgasm built again, my clit rubbing against hard, cool abs. “Abe…”He flipped us, rising above me, slamming his hips against mine, the bed shuddering with every inhuman thrust. My arms lifted and I reached out not for him, but for the headboard, holding it hard, as Abe’s thrusts became wild.His mouth lowered, biting the edge of my breast. Tender flesh yi
“Thought I might find you here.”Looking up, I rolled my eyes as my brother walked over to me and sat beside me. I turned my head and looked back out over the twinkling lights of Vegas. “What do you want?” Abe didn’t answer. I turned and looked at him and saw a flash of fear come over him. “What is with you and heights?”Oh yeah, that’s right, my perfect brother wasn’t overly keen on heights. Probably had something to do with me pushing him o
“You look tired Marley.”I looked to Maddison, “I-I had a visitor.”“Yes, Lord Raynes spoke to us before he left this evening. I am sorry about what happened last night, with Korin.”“It's ok. I wasn't expecting him in my hotel room. He didn't give me a chance to do anything but talk with him, even though I would have rather put a bullet in his brain.”Maddison giggled and I smiled, this woman, this vampire was quickly becoming one of my confidants, and I considered her, my friend. “So, Lord Raynes came all this way to…?”My face heated and Maddison smiled.“Ahh… You seem to have a touch. Absinthe is not one to swoon or fall for someone, he hasn't even been Mated before. You must have a very, very big pull. Not only him, but Rhayden too? Two powerful, old vampires wanting you. Girl, you are the bomb!”I laughed, tipping my head back and Maddison join
I sat opposite my cousin, staring at him, while he stared right back. “Cousin, so good to see you again…”I rolled my eyes. “Let’s cut the crap, Korin. You know I can’t stand being in the same city as you, let alone the same room.”Korin’s throaty chuckle echoed around the room, earning a few sniggers from fledglings in the shadows. I could smell the stale blood in their veins. They were barely a week turned. How long my cousin had fallen… “Oh I do miss this. The old jabs and barbs. Tell me, are you still sore about Loretta?”
Immortal Cravings Part 1-Temptation If there was ever a time to be worried about my safety, it was now.This very moment.Sneaking through the factories. Hunting creatures which shouldn’t exist.Persona Sanguinis. Person of the Blood.Vampires.Well, one kind specificlly.Sanguinis Perfide. Traitor of the blood.Somewhere on this dock, in this seething scent of fish, rubbish and motor oil, was a rogue vampire. A rogue which my boss wanted dead.Well, more dead than it already was.Back against the wall, I slid against the peeling paint, hearing it crackle behind me, hoping the sound didn’t attract unwanted attention. I out the blade in the thigh holder and bought it up in front of my face. Forged of silver, it’s a loan from my employer, a tool of my trade. Adjusting the collar on my jacket, I brought it up as high as it would go, making sure my flesh was covered.Always keep your neck covered, Marlene.Yeah, I’d been there before.This was not my first hunt, and it would not be my las

It had been one thing I had tried not to do in front of these practically immortal beings—show my human side, especially crying. But there, on the edge of the desert in Vegas, I stood in the arms of a vampire; hundreds of years old; and cried… like the weak human woman I was.“Mars… I’m sorry.” Rhayden held me to him, his hand smoothing over my back, as I lay my head against his chest. “I’m not just angry with you… I’m angry Abe still sent you here, knowing what Korin was like. I saw the way he looked at you, the way he wants you and I’m pissed off Abe can’t understand how much danger he’s put you in.”There he was. The creature which worried for me, not the one who constantly riled me up, because he liked my spunk.Rhayden let me go and pushed me back a little, looking down at me. “And then you go and do something so stupid as to hack into Korin’s archive
