" Honestly, I don't know what's so special about you. Why did Deric go through so much effort to keep you alive?" Silas came forward, his eyes running over my body like it would provide him the answer he needed. "Why don't you ask him yourself?" "And you talk back at your masters. Interesting."
He had me wrap my legs around his waist as he held me against the wall. His hands moved behind me to lock the door; maybe he did care about being caught after all. But we both know a door wouldn’t stop a vampire. I was already dripping wet in anticipation. My eyes rolled back when Silas sank slowly
"Like hell you are!" Deric reaches out to me, but Silas pulls me behind him. The tension between them was thick; I knew that if I didn't intervene, then a fight might break out. I pulled my hand away from Silas's grip and stepped forward. "Let me talk to him." "Suit yourself. But don't waste my ti
"Silas, what can I do for you?" Bill asked. I was looking at Mom, who was still kneeling at his feet; she didn't look up even once. It was like she was afraid of the consequences, but she hadn't even done anything wrong. Even Bill was very tense. "Silas?" "You have no idea what people are saying
The way he spoke to our parents earlier, he had been cold and disrespectful and didn't give a shit about what his dad even thought of his behavior. It was a side of Silas I had never seen before. "Are you going to eat or not?" His voice brought me out of my thoughts; he was glaring at me in displea
"Fuck!" His length sank into my shivering body in a single fluid motion, sinking in until he bottomed out. He made sure to maintain eye contact the entire time. Mouth falling open, I couldn't help sucking in a weak, shuddering breath as my back pressed into the railing behind me. I still couldn't f
"If he wants to play dress the human, he should have at least fed me." Knowing that I had to leave my room if I wanted to get something to eat, I wasn't very thrilled. I wished I had eaten more of the food earlier; maybe then I would have been able to fall asleep and wait for breakfast tomorrow. Bu
Emily. Yes, I was happy to see her; I was grateful that she was alive and well, even though currently she was being treated like an animal, but at least she was alright. However, seeing her with Carter brought back bad memories. Looking at them together, all I could think about was the kiss they sha
When Via awakened, it was to a slight headache and the feel of dried blood against her temple. The room she was in (if it could be called a room at all) was dim, and the only source of lighting that filtered through the thick bars was from the torch hung outside the cell. Via was able to make out he
Their uncle, Asher, wasn’t in the mansion. Luca heard he had some serious business to sort out in Vinci and should be back in a day or two. It was all bullshit, of course. Luca knew Alastor must have sent him off—if only to get him far enough away from the human to execute his plans. Said plans were
Via stepped closer to the handsome vampire. He smelled just as good as he looked, and when he smiled, a dimple appeared on either cheek—small enough to go unnoticed. Despite his good looks and splendor, she, for one, felt that there was something very off about the man. His smile carried a condescen
Golden candlelight shimmered on the polished mahogany table, yet no feast adorned its surface—only rows of empty crystal glasses and half-drained wine bottles. When Via walked into the dining room, she was met with the intense gazes of all seven people in the room. She was a bit taken aback to see L
She'd always imagined her first time would be with someone special, at a significant moment in her life—an anniversary, perhaps, or a wedding night. And though she had considered doing it with someone just for the experience, as was the case with Ethan, with Asher, Via had hoped it would happen afte
Asher came from a long line of powerful lords. His father had ruled over the Vampire Council with a firm hand for centuries, and he was expected to do the same when the man stepped down. He was well aware of the sacrifices he would have to make for the greater good of his people, his coven, his race
Via wasn't sure why, but Luca had an inclination to piss her off at any chance he got. She wasn't really surprised when he opened his mouth and started spitting out trash. "You must be heartbroken," he said in a voice so full of certainty one would think he'd known her all his life. "You're hurt th
For the next few days, Via doesn’t get a chance to confront Asher. She does see him around, but Elizabeth is always lingering near him, her arm wrapped around his in a hold that could be nothing less than possessive. She would look over in Via’s direction and smile at her—not mocking or taunting, bu
When morning finally came, Via had dark eye bags and couldn't stand on her two feet without slouching. She could go without sleep, of course, but she'd gotten so used to the routine. Coupled with the added turbulent emotions from last night, she was feeling overwhelmed. When Jess had asked why she
