All Chapters of ABLAZE ( A SACRED Romance): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

 Stephan checked the address Kaye had given him. "This is it, Vidal. Pull over."Vidal located a parking space not far from the safe house in New Rochelle. Both sides of the dimly lit street were lined with tall, narrow, wood-framed houses. Covered porches looked out onto tiny front yards. Most of the houses gleamed with light from their windows, but the safe house was dark.There was no female vampire Stephan respected more than Kaye, and once again, she'd proven herself worth her weight in gold. A longtime member of his German coven, Kaye was every bit as vicious as he. She'd been the one to locate and seduce the U.S. marshal in charge of Aya Mayhem. With the marshal completely under her control, Kaye had easily set this trap.Stephan instructed Vidal to stay with the car, then zipped toward the safe house with vampire speed. He stopped at the back door and waited for Elvo and his harem girl Aliya to catch up. They slipped inside

How sick could you get! She pushed her way through the crowd. Where the hell was Elizabeth? And was that Malcolm going up on the stage? He'd see her for sure. She hid behind a broad-chested man wearing a black T-shirt. AVC. He was holding a digital camera."You're on." The man cued a woman with huge breasts."This is Amanda Amanni reporting for Live with the Undead. What an exciting evening! As you can see behind me"—the reporter motioned to the stage—"Malcolm Baal is about to welcome us all to the twenty-third annual Vampire feast Feast. As you know, Malcolm is CEO of Baal corporation, inventor of Fusion Cuisine, and master of the largest coven in North America."Coven? Who met in covens? Witches? Aya looked around. Were these people all witches? It would explain the black clothing and the gory details like coffin coolers."Would you like a drink?" A waiter stopped in front of her, holding a black tray filled with gl

Malcolm  leaned back in the easy chair and stared at the ceiling. He had serious doubts about this. The last time he'd told this story to a woman, she'd wanted to kill him.He took a deep breath and began. "I was born in a small village in Italy in 1127. I had two brothers and a little sister." He tried to conjure up their faces, but his memory was too vague. He'd had such a short time with them."Wow," Aya breathed. "You're over Nine hundred years old.""Thanks for reminding me.""Go on," she urged. "What happened to your family?""We were poor. Times were difficult." The red blinking light in the corner over the bed caught his attention. The digital surveillance camera was working. He sliced the air with a cutting motion, and within seconds, the red light was off.He continued with his story. "My mother died in childbirth when I was four. Then my sister died.She was only tw

Ausiro slid a sword out of his walking stick. "No one wants to listen to you.""Will the vampire feast end in bloodshed?" Amanda Amanni whispered in a loud voice. "Don't touch your remote!"Stephan made a small mocking bow as the music ended. Unfortunately, the bow left his neck misaligned, so he had to pop it back into position.Amanda Amanni faced her camera with a beaming smile."Stephan, German-American coven master, is about to make a speech. Let's hear what he has to say.""It has been eighteen years since I attended one of these feasts," Stephan began. "Eighteen years that I have been forced to witness the tragic decay of our superior way of life. Our old traditions are laid to waste. Our proud heritage is ridiculed. A new politically correct philosophy of the modern-day Vamp has insinuated itself into our midst like a plague."A murmur began in the crowd. Some didn't like his messag

It is right now, because it's only you and me. I'm thinking only of you. His presence felt heavy around her, heavy and hot with desire. Her skin tingled in response. He skimmed his fingers up her spine to her neck. There he brushed her hair to the side.She felt something hot and moist on her neck. A kiss. She shivered. It was so weird, getting kissed by an invisible face. His breath warmed her ear. Then something tickled her toes.She started. "There's something in the bed."Me."But—" It was impossible for him to kiss her ear and reach her toes at the same time. Unless his arms were six feet long. Or he wasn't quite human.Bingo. Two points for you, sweetness. Malcolm nuzzled her neck and tweaked her toes. On both feet.And he continued to rub the skin between her shoulder blades."Wait a minute. How many hands do you have?"As many as I want. It's all in my mi
