The tallest of her attackers had kept the knife pressed to her side the entire walk to the clinic. She’d tried to go slowly, exaggerating the injuries she’d gotten when she’d been tackled. The tactic had worked, but it had come with a price. Kelly was bleeding from a handful of cuts where he’d us...
They had finished giving their statements and signing what seemed like a stack of paperwork, and now they were standing in the hall outside Nikolai’s office, deciding what to do next. “For the last time, I don’t need a check-up. I put an ice pack on my cheek and the swelli...
As tempting as it was to pretend that his need for her was purely the result of his months-long dry spell, Tag knew better. This was more than just sex or chemistry, though they definitely had chemistry––holy fuck, did they ever. Kissing Jolena had felt like stepping into a glassblower’s furnace....
She had vanished out of his life three miserable days ago. Not since he had been mortal had Carnage felt the passage of time so acutely. He spent the night in the vault, venting his rage on the contents until it was nothing more than a pile of twisted wreckage and scrap metal. He had already arra...
Not that Valentine’s Day was ever a fun-filled joy-fest for anyone not in a relationship, but hers had gone from lousy to horrific less than an hour after she got out of bed. The building’s hot water was on the fritz again, forcing her to take a lukewarm shower, and then her car had refused to st...
Yeah, right. Like that is going to happen. She’d lost a teammate and been turned into a vampire hors d’oeuvre. She didn’t need rest. What she needed was payback. That didn’t mean she was going to advertise her disobedience, though, so she kept a low profile as she slipped into the operations room...
His fingers were already resting on her mound, brushing against her labia with feather light touches. Within seconds she was awake, desire tightening her nipples to hard nubs and a pool of molten need gathering between her legs. “Good morning.” She mewled and arched beneat...
Then the healers had arrived, and she had to put up with their poking and prodding for what felt like forever.After the healers had satisfied themselves that she was well enough to be allowed out of bed, they finally left, though not nearly quick enough for Gwyneth’s liking. Every bruise and scar...
What happened to Jackson?” he asked Jared, trying to act nonchalant about his chosen topic. “Jackson’s been trying to go to half-time for more than a year. He and Dani are splitting the evening shifts for now, and he’s happy as hell. I’m not sure why I’m even talking to yo...
That first kiss started a fire, but the taste of his blood on her tongue ignited an inferno that rivaled the heart of a star. To shed blood in defense of another was an act of valor, to offer blood in atonement was an act of honor, but to share blood like this was an intimacy few of her people ev...
“Uh, guys? The bed’s back that way.” “Yeah, I know. But the shower’s this way, and I have a sudden urge to get you all hot, slick and soapy, princess.” “Sounds good to me too. First we can get you all clean, and then we are going to do very dirty th...
The wind had finally quieted, and now there was an eerie stillness to the woods, as if every wild thing had departed and left the area empty and silent. The back of his neck itched with that telltale tingle that always came when his instincts sensed danger, but what the hell could be dangerous ou...
“Hey Rory, bring up our clothes, will you?” he called back as he made a beeline for the cabin, stark naked and with a giggling woman in his arms. “He’s going to kill you when he catches up!” Jess exclaimed as she threw her arms around Evan’s neck and held on for dear life....
