I sat there in the bath for a couple of minutes, thinking deeply about how I was going to use this piece of information to my advantage. I never thought it was possible to even kill vampires until this very moment; sure, the media would make jokes about a knife to the heart being enough to take them
"Kerry, alright, I know you are mad at me. What I did wasn't appropriate; I apologize. But it's not even a big deal; open the door and I'll treat you to breakfast." "Not a big deal?!" The nerve of this guy! How dare he say something like that? His words only made my anger soar higher. I wanted to
His kiss was soft and loving. It was different from his kisses before, which were always passionate and possessive. His hands roamed over my body, caressing me. I couldn't bring myself to push him away, even though a part of me was still pissed at him. When he lifted me and had me wrap my legs aroun
Silas doesn't think much of humans. They are fragile, a bit annoying, and apart from being food, they aren't good for much else. But there was something different about this girl—he could tell from the moment he saw her. At first, he thought it was just her scent; she smelled so good that he couldn’
“You called Deric?” Kerry’s mouth fell open. It was clear she wanted to say something—possibly curse at him or try to defend herself—but she kept her mouth shut and didn’t bother to explain. She looked away and stared down at her hands. Her silence was answer enough. She had called Deric, but she s
Silas didn’t know how long he stood there, unsure of what to do with himself. There was nothing worse than trying to recover a memory you knew you had but couldn’t access. He felt nothing but regret as he left the room and went after Kerry. He found her with Deric; the other vampire had her in his e
But today, he intended to find comfort with her. Her long blonde curls and killer figure made her extremely attractive. But when Silas looked at her now, he found that, as much as he wanted to deny it, she wasn’t what he wanted. Despite his efforts, he was still thinking about Kerry and how she had
My mood was gloomy. Despite all the words of comfort Deric had told me, I still couldn't help feeling like I had lost everything. And in a way, I had. Ever since the day I went to the beach house, my world hadn't quite been the same. It's like I left a perfect life behind and then came back to meet
"Is there anything I can do for you, my dear?" "You didn’t tell me you were a prince." "You didn’t ask. And I hardly thought my title was of any importance, seeing as it wouldn’t have impressed you even if I had mentioned it." He was right. Via would have probably been even more put off if she ha
Asher was introduced as a prince, and that little piece of information took Via aback. Yes, everyone knew that vampires once practiced monarchy, but that was a very long time ago—before civilization had taken over and their superiority over humans and other supernaturals had been revoked. She knew t
Via wanted to scream into her pillow, but her dad might hear it and come up to check on her. She couldn’t help it—she had never been this attracted to someone before. He was hot, and his holier-than-thou attitude had a sort of appeal. She wanted him—maybe just for the taste. Maybe then she could fin
Octavia takes Jess back to her house. Her friend's parents had long gone to bed by the time Via was half-dragging their daughter inside. Jess's younger brother was still up, probably playing those video games he was so obsessed with. He merely rolled his eyes at the sight of his unconscious sister a
Via chased after him, taking note of how hot the display of strength made her. "Hey, you really don’t have to do that. Jess might throw up on you." "It’s fine. Don’t want her ruining your delicious scent with the filthy stench of her humanity." "Um..." Via played the words over in her mind multipl
"What the hell, man?" The ghoul, whose hand was held firmly, hissed at Asher. He wasn’t very happy about the interruption. He was about to protest further when the vampire’s cold eyes locked onto him. A chill ran down his spine. He sensed that this guy wasn’t someone he could easily mess with. "What
"Fine. Whatever you say, Silas." "Tell your mom to come lend a helping hand. I might actually burn down the kitchen this time." "Sure." She grabbed a bag of chips Silas usually stocked up for whenever he was planning a movie night with his wife. It was best to give them some privacy. "Mom, Dad’s t
There was something off-putting about the young man. He looked young anyway, but knowing vampires, he might just be decades older than he appeared. Via wasn’t usually attentive toward other people. Unlike Jess, she preferred her own company. But the stranger was leaning against her car, so she could
“Good morning, ladies,” her dad greeted as he entered the room. “Morning, babe,” Kerry responded, leaning in to kiss him. Octavia tried not to make a disgusted face. Her parents acted like they hadn’t been together for 18 years. “I’m off,” she said, grabbing her bag. “Do you need a ride? It’s on
