Yvette's pov

His hand on my arm lingered longer than necessary, the bear from his fingers seeping through my silk dress. I wanted to pull away, but my body betrayed me, leaning just a fraction closer than I intended.

I seriously don't know what's going on in his head or what he wanted to say.

Wait! I hope he isn't going to say that I'm such a terrible kisser. I touched my lips lightly, God, please, no.

I looked up to see him staring at me.

I forced out one of my best smiles. “Okay,” I shrugged. “What is it you want to tell me?”

“Come,” he said, almost immediately.

Moonlight brushed over his jaw making the sharp line look impossibly perfect. I couldn't stop my eyes from tracing it, imagining what it would feel like under my lips. My pulse jumped at the thought— what was happening to me?

Then we walked into a massive living room.

Disappointments washed over me as he finally let go of my arm, he turned his back to me, staring at the tiny pieces of Manhattan below.

I wanted to

  • A Deal With The Vampire CEO    The Devil and The Mona Lisa

    Yvette's pov I was chasing my thoughts and feeling helpless with each one that struck my mind. I was awake at three in the morning, gazing at the strange patterns the moonlight created on my magnificent room's ceiling. I had a jumbled mess of thoughts. Thoughts that won't leave me alone.It kept playing back the scene from the previous day when everything in my world had completely changed. His smile. The aloof haughty smile I was accustomed to wasn't there. His entire face had changed with a genuine tentative tiny smile that gave me a glimpse of a man I had never met. He had bought those flowers, stargazer lilies which I had kept in my room and now I was staring at them.There was a persistent, dizzying puzzle in my mind. It was how one man could be both a cold, cunning creature who had years of loneliness and despair in his eyes and was still the same man who remembered my mother's favorite flower and had a heart-breaking faint smile. He was just hard to understand and it would

  • A Deal With The Vampire CEO    Under the Lions

    (JOACHIM'S POV). The brief warmth of the deer's life did little to calm the icy tempest within me. As usual, the hunt had brought me back to reality but my mind was still focused on the penthouse and the brave, angry human woman who was sleeping in my house at the moment. “Better?” Elias called out to me from the edge of the rooftop and jerked me out of my thoughts. “Much better,” I said, feeling satisfied but not at all at ease. Elias smiled slightly and wisely. “You need a diversion. The drink should taste real, not like fur or fear.”He pointed toward the city's glistening center. “Come on. Let's head to the coven. It's been far too long since you behaved like your old self. You haven't been in the coven for two weeks. Come loosen up a bit.”“Old self?” I chuckled lightly. “I am five hundred and seventy years old.”He laughed in response and said “And you have been acting like a grumpy old man for all of it. Come my brother. Let's be vampires for tonight, tomorrow we can be h

  • A Deal With The Vampire CEO    A Breath of Night

    (Joachim's pov) When Yvette left for her suite, her scent stayed behind. Sweet. Heaven. A trap. I liked her close. Too close. Valerius warned me about this — first contact with a human always left a hunger. I will get over this stupid feeling soon. I lied to myself. The penthouse felt too bright, too full of her fragile, human life. My chest ached with a strange pull. I remembered the flowers I'd given her days ago. I couldn't even recall their name, only her gratitude. It brought back memories of a sun I had long since forgotten. And it had a cage-like feeling. I started to feel restless, a primal need for speed and darkness. My haven of control, the penthouse felt all of a sudden, too tiny, too bright and too full of her painfully fragile and wonderfully human life. It was time for me to leave. I had to take a breath of night. I had to remind myself that I was a predator, not just the man she was starting to see. Using the elevator, I descended from the penthouse to the privat

    Run. Lie. Say no. He was right there, and I couldn't move. His kiss at the gala lingered on my lips, on my skin, and it made my heart hammered in a way I hated— and wanted. Every card was in his possession. He was the only thing separating me from a world of terrifying predators, he had provided me with a place to live and had saved me from going to jail. There was no way I had said no. It would be suspicious if I refused. It would raise red flags and I was sure that Joachim Knight would not overlook them. He would dissect them, he is smart and it was a unique form of madness however to say yes. I had to consent to hunting myself. Instead of entering the enemy's camp as a prisoner, it meant entering as their chief strategist. But a girl had to do what she had to do, a small smile stretched my lips. Although it was a thin shield it was all I had. “Hunt a ghost?” I asked, laughing sharply and briefly almost convincingly. “Yes, of course, why not. My life is already strange enoug

  • A Deal With The Vampire CEO    A lie too true.

    (Joachim's pov) Pieces of the world returned. First the sound—the audiences startled gasping breath, a contagious wave of murmurs that swept through the ballroom. After that there was the sight of Judge Lark's stunned face, Whitfield's flaming rage and lastly the woman in my arms, her eyes wide with a stunning horrifying blend of passion and shock. The force of my kiss had made her lips become red and slightly swollen. I could still taste her—a heady mix of champagne, defiance and a singularly hers sweet intoxicating flavor. I didn't know how it happened but I knew it did. I was glad that at least I had given some people a dose of their own medicine and what greater joy it would be to see the headlines tomorrow. I wanted to call myself stupid because I can't remember the last time in a hundred years I had kissed a woman like this. The tactical win was being documented in my head: Whitfield was now quiet, the judge was persuaded and our position was assured. But my body and my
