Blood Rain

Chapter 2 Ren palmed the small of Lacey's back and pulled her closer, making her heat slide deliciously the rest of the way up his thigh. He ground his erection against her stroking hand and deepened the kiss with a harsh growl, moving in an erotic rhythm that she was willingly matching. Most of the demons had moved on, allowing him to slowly come down off the paranormal power surge but he was unwilling to let her in on that little secret just yet, due to the new high he was caught up in. Lacey stilled when she realized she was no longer feeling the creepy sensation down her spine that had been caused by the demons outside the window. Remembering the demons had a domino effect on her… reminding her of the fact that only a few moments ago, Vincent’s arms had mysteriously disappeared from around her. The scene flashed in her mind making her flinch. The second she stopped riding his thigh and returning the kiss with such abandon, Ren released her lips and pulled back enough to st

Chapter 4 Angelica slipped through her bedroom door and quickly shut it behind her. Sliding the lock in place, she leaned her forehead against the thick wood wishing it was made of something stronger… titanium maybe. Releasing a heavy sigh, she frowned and stepped away from the door, staring at the lock like it was her only hope. In a way it was. That little lock was the only thing between her and the craving she had to see Syn now that he wasn't here watching her… stalking her. Lifting her hand, she rubbed her right temple in furious little circles trying to piece together the fact that she had just ran away from the man… or whatever he was, only to now miss him so much that her chest was actually aching. “I don’t need anyone,” Angelica reminded herself but her fingers paused in mid circle. She jerked her hand down from her temple tasting the lie within the words. Considering she felt the withdrawal symptoms, she might as well label him as what he was… an addiction. Slo

Chapter 6 Zeke sat with his legs dangling off a huge wooden crate that had been deposited just inside the shadowy area near the dock doors in the back of the Wal-Mart. Those same legs swung lazily back and forth at random, as he watched the humans unload the transfer truck. He grinned at the two men who were a bit nervous but doing a good job of acting like they weren’t. One of them was named Hank, and the other was named Dude, as far as he could tell because that’s what Hank kept calling him. He had been playing with them for the last couple hours… blowing up balloons and popping them to make loud booms or moving smaller boxes around, so the adults would trip over them and accuse each other of doing it. The two idiots were almost convinced the store was haunted. The game had started out as a lot of fun but now he was bored. To anyone that caught a glimpse of him, Zeke appeared to be nothing more than a normal child around eight years of age. His dark hair was always messy,

Chapter 8 Michael recalled thinking, not so long ago, that this big house seemed lonely. He was actually glad his family thought he needed a babysitter while Aurora was off visiting Skye. He didn’t have a craving for demon blood at the moment but they didn’t need to know that. Kane slammed his hand down on the table and flipped over his cards, laughing wickedly with his green visor glinting in the light. “I win!” “Damn it!” Damon growled and threw his cards at him. “Why do I always lose to you?” “Because I’m just that good,” Kane bragged and pulled all the money that was in the middle of the table toward him. He knew reading his brother’s mind was a form of cheating but he liked the theory that it’s only cheating if you get caught. “Um, excuse me,” Alicia muttered, “but I don’t know if my hand is any good or not.” Kane paused and slowly turned his face toward her. “Well, what do you have?” “Ohm,” Alicia began with a small voice, “I got a bunch of hearts… a ten, Jac

Chapter 10 “We should make like Scooby-Doo and split up,” Micah advised, after a few minutes of chasing nothing but shadows and sounds through the endless aisles. Chad had already sent out the command to all of the cops, letting them know they were to avoid the rug rats, since the children were not their intended target. They were on a demon hunt pure and simple. “Good idea,” Chad agreed. “I’ll take Vincent with me, and you can do a sweep around the store since you can move a lot faster than us mere humans.” He smiled to let his friend know he really didn’t hold the speed advantage against him. The cougar nodded at him and took off towards the produce section… probably hoping to catch sight of Kane thrashing a few mini-monsters. He shook his head and sighed heavily. “There has got to be a better way of doing this,” Chad remarked, as he and Vincent kept walking. “So far we’ve accomplished nothing.” “How long have you been a cop,” Vincent asked, now that they were finally
