Ken allowed the hot, steaming water to caress his body and soothe his soul, as he thought about the events of the past, and those to come. He knew he couldn’t trust Allen. He slammed the wall, but tried to refrain from breaking it. Teya was in even more danger now, but luckily, no full-blooded vampires could take him. Except Allen, he thought, growling. He had to be stopped somehow. Ken just knew that something wasn’t right, that something was off.
Teya woke up searching for Ken. She looked around the bedroom, only to find him standing by the balcony door, watching the sunrise.
“Hey, you,” she said, clearing her throat. She noticed Ken sway as he began to walk towards her. He was only able to accomplish three steps before his knees collapsed, sending him falling to the floor. Teya rushed out of the bed to help him.
“Ken! What’s wrong?” she cried, panicked. He closed his eyes with frustra
Chapter 8Ken waited patiently as Teya showered, contemplating the events that had transpired. The vampire hunters, Allen, his past, and how they were all connected. Markees had investigated his house on a hunch that he was a vampire, but he’d still seen Ken in daylight. That didn’t make sense. They couldn’t have associated him with the vampires.Hell, he didn’t even want to be associated with them. He mostly hated vampires, so what could’ve possessed the man to send hunters to his house? Was Markees’s small detector buzzing worth the home invasion? What the hell were they looking for? Nothing made sense. Nothing was adding up.The shower stopped running, causing Ken to become alert. He sat up on the bed, anxious for her to walk out. He could smell her already. The vanilla soap she used invaded his nose. He was holding his breath without even realizing it. She opened the door to reveal her sexy lingerie: a see-through nightg
Chapter 9Teya moaned as Ken’s hands massaged her back inside the tub. She sat between his legs while he rested his back against the tub. He had insisted she take a bath instead of a shower, as he knew that she was sore from his persistent love-making. He wanted to learn as much as he could about her body during their first time. He noticed how she liked a slow, hard pace instead of just a fast one. She was more sensitive on her right breast than her left. He learned where her G spot was, which caused her to come all over the bed at least five more times.He pulled her against him so she could rest against his chest. He was hard again. She blushed.“Again, Ken? We’ve done it like five times already,” she said, although her body was already on fire. She melted against him.“I know you’re tired, baby. I’m just addicted to you. I don’t think I will ever get enough of you,” he replied, nibb
Chapter 10Ken waited for Teya, pacing the floor anxiously. Those damn nerves were back, and it was driving him crazy. The outfit she’d bought was even more nerve-wracking. He would have to punch out the eyes of every man in attendance tonight.Worse still, the fear of the night consumed the both of them. Allen was sure to be out wreaking havoc, but hopefully he would be somewhere far away from the club they were attending. After heavy persistence, he’d finally persuaded Teya to go, as long as he was with her. Dressing up was important to her, but not to him. He went for a simple look - a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.Teya, on the other hand, felt she had to look as beautiful as she could if she was going out on Ken’s arm. Many women found him stunning, which made Teya feel like she didn’t measure up. She looked at her face in the mirror, fixing her hair.“Sexy man of mine, what are you doing?” s
Chapter 11Ken thanked the heavens that Markees didn’t ask any more questions. Teya was still in her dress, and he knew that Markees was looking at her when he spoke about the club, but he didn’t push them any further for answers. He knew that Markees had only done it for her. He undressed Teya painfully, as his cock was so hard he had to stop and readjust his pants.The smoothness of her skin was so addicting, and the curviness of her body amazed him more than anything. Her scent, pure and innocent, mixed with his, dangerous and wild. Unable to help himself, he started to lick at her nipples. He watched her stir and arch as he continued his sensitive movements. He smiled at the knowledge that she was still so responsive even as she slept. As he dressed her in his T-shirt and adjusted her comfortably on the bed, he pondered whether he should continue being with her.Thinking of everything that had happened only made him angry, and he kn
Chapter 12Ken opened the hell-house door, his heart pounding and anger boiling. The only logical explanation he could find was that Allen had betrayed his own group; his own people. The house was cold and empty. Water leaked from the walls where he had fought with Allen. The place looked abandoned from the inside as well as the outside. He sniffed the air and growled.“Hunters,” he snarled. They had definitely been there, and their scent was strong enough for Ken to determine they’d left recently. He sighed as he walked Grams’ room and stared at her closed coffin. He reluctantly opened the coffin, only to discover the remains of her burned body. He gasped, jumping back in a stunned silence. She’d clearly been shocked by several guns, and her heart had been ripped out.With great haste, he ran to Goslin’s room, only to find it in shambles, and the bright wallpaper was torn with claw markings. It was clear that sh
Chapter 13It was late in the afternoon when Ken reached the hell-house. He burst open the door, hoping that Allen would be tucked away in his casket and sleeping peacefully. There were no more deals to be made. Allen had to die, period. The thrill of the kill coursed through his veins as he inched closer to Allen’s room. He could tell he’d been in there. His scent lingered all through the house, becoming stronger as he walked down into the basement.The casket was closed, as expected. With his eyes squinted and his fists ready, he lifted the casket. A mysterious powder flew into his face, erupting in his eyes. He wiped the dust away with his shirt, and he began to feel woozy as he looked down. His sight began to blur and his head began to spin, forcing him to grab the wall to steady himself. He had been drugged. His human side was now affected, making him vulnerable. He cursed, realizing his own stupid mistake. Allen was far too old to be pla
Chapter 14As soon as the sun disappeared over the horizon, Ken’s eyes shot open. Again, he looked around, his eyes trying to figure out where he was. His mind put the pieces together quickly, and he looked around until he found a camera in the corner of the room.“Where’s Teya?” he growled at the camera. He tried to move, but he realized he’d been chained to the wall a couple of feet off the ground. There was a man in front of him, head hanging low, almost as if he was dead. Ken looked directly into the camera again, struggling to pull the chains apart.“She is safe,” a voice spoke over an intercom. Ken pulled at the chains again, but he was pulled back against the wall. He grunted, cursing.“Struggling is useless,” another voice said. Ken looked at the man in front of him, who slowly lifted his head to meet Ken’s gaze. Ken’s eyes opened wide as he looked at the man. He appeared to be st
Chapter 1The room was dark, and Ken couldn’t see anything. His head was spinning as he struggled for focus.“Don’t worry. I can make it better,” a voice said. He felt a woman grabbing his face and planting kisses like his Teya would, but these lips were different. He snarled.“Salina!” he screamed, grabbing her hard with all his strength. She just laughed.“I’m in your head, Ken. I made you, and my venom runs through your veins. There is no escaping me,” she taunted. He heard a scream, and his eyes snapped open.“Ken, stop! Please!” Teya shrieked. He looked horrified at the scene around him, and he removed his hands from Teya’s arm, revealing bruises. He seemed so lost and hurt.“Teya, I’m sorry,” he sighed as he climbed out the bed and walked over to the bathroom. He took a good look in the mirror, wondering what was happening to him. The nightmares
