Immortal Cravings Twenty One-Rhayden
Seeing Marley prone as she had been, laying on Absinthe’s bed, near death had me worried I’d lost her. That Absinthe would never forgive me for getting his hunter killed. But seeing her walk through the door, with fresh puncture marks on her throat, broke my heart.She wouldn’t look at me. Her eyes downcast as she took the seat opposite.Absinthe cleared his throat and I looked at my brother.In the four hundred years I’d been alive, I’d never hated Absinthe. Not once.But now, I could barely contain the anger which seethed through me, and as his gaze met on mine, he faltered.“I-” Absinthe pursed his lips and looked at the files in front of him. “I have intel on the attack from the safe house.”He pushed a folder toward me, and another toward Marley. My gaze moved to her as she picked up the folder and opened it. She still didn’t look at me and all I wanted to do was confess to Absinthe what I’d done. That I was in love with his—I blinked, lowering my gaze to the table, my anger su

Watching Rhayden’s back as he sulked off, I knew what was wrong with him; and it was not the attack on the safehouse, or the fact Marley had been injured in the process.There would have been no missing the fang marks on Marley’s throat, and he had pitched a fit when he had seen them sitting brightly on her skin.He was in love with her.While I was enjoying seeing him squirm with anger, I knew I was pushing him away. We had always been close.The idea of having Marley and Rhayden get along had almost worked too well. Now they were fighting against their feelings for each other, and I did not have the heart to ruin it for them. I had never considered what Marley in the mansion would mean to anyone but myself and I suddenly realized how selfish I had been about the beautiful human woman.From the first night she had walked into the mansion, my brother had not hidden what he thought of her beauty, but he had toned it down, once he realized we were sleeping together. I should have been

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Alfa, after what had gone down between Rhayden, and I the previous night was surreal. Even more so with Absinthe’s words still rattling around inside my head.It is okay Marley, I am happy to share you with Rhayden, if that is what you want.Like… what the actual fuck? How was I going to satisfy two vampire lovers, when just being with Absinthe often left me drained? And then there was the slight weirdness of them being brothers. I mean... I wasn't so much as opposed to it... but it did feel weird. Was it a normal thing with vampires? Because I knew, in the human world, this sort of shit would definitely be frowned upon...This was not going to turn out well.“So, the killer is in a run-down two-story house, off a backroad just outside Everglades City.”I turned my head to Rhayden. He had his phone in his hand, his gaze shifting down to it while he drove. At any other time, I would have smacked it out of his hand and yelled at him for putting us

I have to get out of this car. I couldn't pretend I'm fine with what's happened in the last few days. I am far from fucking fine. All I wanted was to war against Absinthe.Tell him how I felt about Marley, how she turned my mind to mush, everytime I saw her, how my thoughts were constantly invaded by her. How I would do stupid shit, to keep her alive.And stupid was exactly what we were doing. The Everglades? Really? Why not just send us into a tiger's den? It would have been safer. With the aligators, and the leeches, and then add a vampire rogue, which killed other vampires... Yeah, I would have like to have taken my chances with the tiger. But no... I was doing exactly what my brother wanted me to do. As always. Like Mars had so eloquently put it before... I was my brother's whipped puppy. I just wondered how long I would be like that for? Surely one would go nuts, being in servitude for so long. but I had promised my mother, on her death bed, that I would not leave Absinthe'

Rhayden was gone. I looked around the car, finally seeing him leaning over the front of the car, map out on it, staring at me. I felt my face heat and I climbed form the vehicle, closing the door softly and walked up to him.“I don’t need the light, but you do.” He handed a torch to me. “We’re here.”His long fingers slid along the map and my mind instantly went to where those fingers had been the night before. I bit my lips and concentrated on the map.“This is where we need to get.”The destination was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by swampy trees. “Oh lovely.”Rhayden folded up the map and tucked it back into the inside of his pocket. “I have decent orienteering skills. But the team will have a GPS with them.”I looked down at my watch, pressing the button on the side, illuminating the time. “It is one am. We need to get this done and be out of here in th

“And you have silver nitrate bullets as well, just in case?” I watched as Vince packed another magazine into his vest pocket, on top of the other six; as if we were going to take on an entire army, and not just one rogue vampire.“Yes sir.”“Good.” I was surprised to have Vince sent to help us. Absinthe knew Marley didn't like him. Helping at the safe house had only been because his team had been closest. “I’m going to check on Marley.”“Sir.”I turned from the bigger, but younger vampire, the feeling he would stab me in the back at any moment, growing. I had not trusted him since the moment he had joined our coven and I was not about to start now and I was starting to see why Mars didn't trust or like him either. I walked over to Marley. She was holding up the thigh holster for her pistol, a confused look to her features. She still had not figured them out in the two years she had worked for my brother, and I smirked, stepping closer and held out my hand. “Do you want me to do that

Fifteen minutes into our walk and I was pissed off with the fact no one had mention the terrain I would be dragging myself across. The ground was marshy, my favorite Doc Martens were sinking into the sludge and on more than one occasion, I had had to get Rhayden to help me out of the mud.Vince’s team was a clear two-hundred feet in front of us and I could feel their beady undead eyes on me. Taste their disdain in the air or that could have just been the mold which grew on the nearby trees. They didn't want to be out here... and they definitely didn't want to be out here, with me.“I don’t want to sound like a pain in the ass,” I gripped Rhayden’s shoulder for the hundredth time in our journey and heaved my boot out of the mud. “But are we there yet?The vampire chuckled, his shoes miraculously clean and I cursed him for being so light and nimble on his feet. “Just a little further, Mars.”Mars.I grinned to myself in the dark. He was slowly coming out of his funky mood.“Team Leader,

This was too easy and every single hackle on my neck stood on end, as I followed Marley across the open expanse of dirt toward the house. There was no noise. No insects, or the croak of frogs, or the weird chirps that the night birds of the area gave.There was nothing, and my stomach started to throw up red flags on the situation. And then there was the house. We pushed open the front door, keeping an eye on where we were going...It was filthy. No-one had lived in it for… ever.There were no signs of someone, or something inhabiting the dank interior and I couldn’t pick up the scent of either wet fur, spoiled blood, or a vampire.Marley moved through the lower floor, sweeping her gun, the flashlight following.“Fucking hell!”She jumped back and my claws automatically extended at a threat, until Vince stepped out of the dark, his pupils dilating with the bright torch light. “Point that shit somewhere else.”Marley’s gun lowered and my claws retreated, but not completely, obviously

My head pounded and I winced, trying to lay still, to lessen the pain.“Ah, you’re awake Miss Brennan…”My eyes fluttered open and I turned my head, looking at the man standing, leaning against the wall… I hadn’t seen things in the factory. “Vince…? Abe… he killed you.”“Yes, he did kill Vince. I am not Vince. I am his twin, Norman.”Norman… what a crappy name for a vampire. If I wasn’t in so much pain, I would have laughed. But it wasn’t just me head that hurt and I groaned, “What did you do to me?”“Not much really…” he said, walking closer, sitting in the chair beside the bed. “Drained you within an inch of your life…”“You what?” Had he tried to turn me?What the fuck would that do to Absinthe and Rhayden? Me… the fledgling of another, a bond unable to be broken, unless

Pacing the library, I waited for the phone to pick up.“This is Maddison.”I could hear the tautness of pleasure to the vampire’s voice, and it pissed me off. While I had told Tony, his relationship with Maddison was not forbidden, it was not looked upon favorably right now. “Where is Tony?”I heard the phone scrambled between hands as my head of security took the device from his fledgling. “Lord Raynes?”My temper was white hot. “Where have you been?”“Sir. We were with Lord James all of last night. Someone came into Miss Brennan’s room and tried to take her. We stopped them. But they had the mark of Korin’s coven, so we dragged him back to his master. Turns out he’s a traitor and Korin flayed him.”Yeah, that sounded about right for my cousin. If anyone crossed him, he would make them pay in the most painful of ways. “And now?”“Sir

I had eaten.Proteins bars were my staple when in a vampire safe house.I’d showered and I’d napped, while the little black box I’d found in the bag Rhayden had left, did its thing. When I plugged it into the computer, it had lurched to life and started to correlate against other files, bringing up possibilities and discarding unwanted files.Maddison had called.They were at Korin’s mansion.They’d been the ones to leave blood in the hotel room.One of Korin’s lackeys had decided they didn’t like their Lord being weak, by hiring a human and wanted to make an example of him, by coming after me. They just didn’t count on the fact Maddison and Tony were in my room.I was amazed I’d slept through the fight.Maddison told me they were there, while Korin literally flayed the vampire alive, for information on who he’d defected to. I really didn’t want to know but was g

I didn’t think my heart could have taken much more… but the punch coming from Mars had been so left of field, that when it happened, the only safe option was for me to leave. If I had stayed, I would have thrown her against a wall and hurt her. I might have even killed he…Never in my life had I met someone so infuriating. But that was what she was. My infuriating, beautiful human lover. And there in lay the problem. She was human.

He was still a crappy driver and I held onto the seat as Rhayden raced through the streets of Vegas. “Where are we going?”“Somewhere safe.” He growled, his hands tight on the steering wheel. My eyes slammed close as Rhayden swerved into oncoming traffic to get around a tour bus.“Rhayden! For fuck’s sake slow down!” He put his foot down harder and the car lurched, making me grit my teeth, “Rhayden, please.”He didn’t listen and I knew he wouldn’t. He had a mission.Get me to safety. He would do that, and I wouldn’t be able to change the way he did.So while he drove like a maniac and I hoped to hell we didn’t get pulled over by cops—because Rhayden Raynes would be difficult to explain— I thought of other things.Like Johan.How had he found me?After two years, why had he suddenly surfaced?The last time we’d seen each other,

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?”

“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

“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
Immortal Cravings Sixty Four-Marley
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
