Marlene Brennan is out of her depth. Bounty Hunter and human lover of Vampire Lord of Miami, Absinthe Raynes, she cleans up his rogue problem, for the tidy sum of 1 million dollars a year. But something is brewing in the dark. Someone is dispatching Absinthe's Mated pairs and he needs Marley to find them and stop them. The only catch... she has to work with Absinthe's little brother-Rhayden. A world class pain in the behind, who can't keep his attraction to her a secret. When Marley gives into her desire for him too... things get complicated and dangerous, because Absinthe doesn't share.
View MoreRhayden growled, moving us and tipped me back onto the cold floor. With quick movements, he shredded the clothing I was in, tossing it to the side. His head dipped, mouth kissing along my stomach, nipping skin skin, catching his fangs on my flesh. The stings made me gasp, but not in pain, but pleasure.His mouth found my clit, ready for him. Tipping my head back as his lips closed around it, he suckled and I knew I wouldn’t last long. I pushed my hands through his hair, holding his face to me as I came, loud and hard. “Rhayden!”He growled, fangs sinking into my thigh and my head spun as he drew on my blood. Rhayden slowly lifted himself and I opened my eyes, staring at him. The was blood on his lips and he grinned as he loomed over me. “You really want rough?”“Yes.” I breathed, ignoring the pain in my chest. I didn’t want soft and sweet, like I got with Abe. I needed rough and dangerous with the possibility of ge
Waking to the feeling of serum racing around my body was starting to get old.When I had signed up for this job two years ago, no one told me of the risks, of the agony I would put my all too human flesh through. If they had, I would have told them to shove it.I groaned, my head pounding in time with my heartbeat.“Marley?”Absinthe’s voice floated to me, loud and grinding against my headache. I groaned again, rolling to the side, the need to be sick washing over me. I managed to hold it in and sighed, as Abe’s strong hands soothed over my back.Finally feeling stable enough, I opened my eyes and slowly sat up, Absinthe helping me. When he thought me stable enough, he leaned in, kissing me, his hands gripping the sides of my face. Finally pulling away, I sighed and looked at him.He looked tired.I’d never seen a vampire look so drained and… old. I had to remind myself Absinthe was centuries older
I finally got the upper hand on the big man… the one who looked like Vince, but smelt… feral. I slammed him against the wall, my hand gripping his windpipe with extended claws, as he hung uselessly in my grip. “I will kill you!”“Go for it, pretty boy.” he choked, laughing like a mad man. He’d given up. There was no fight left in him… “You have no idea what’s coming… but without her now… you might fall a little easier.”I roared, my claws digging in and I twisted. Blood sprayed as I ripped the vampire’s throat from his body, and tossed it to the side like a sack of flour. I honestly didn’t give a fuck who he was, and why he looked so much like Vince. Right now, my priority was Marley.Turning, I raced back to Marley. She lay on her side, her back to me and I knelt down, slowly and gently rolling her to her back and into my arms. The smell of blood hit me, before I saw
Norman tossed the blade at my feet, and I slowly crouched, keeping my gaze on the vampire. I gripped the handle and slowly stood. “Knives?”The vampire in front of me grinned. “You wanted a chance. So, come on, if you can’t come at me with knives and make me hurt, then you aren’t worth the money Absinthe pays—”I would kill him, make him pay and then I could get back to Abe and demand him to tell me what the hell was going on.I screamed, lashing out at Norman, slicing him across the cheek, the shimmer of his blood coming to the cut instantly. The vampire stepped back, blinking in surprise as I arced again and aimed for his throat.Norman stepped back, his hand deflecting my blade and while he was worried about the knife, I swung my bare fist, connecting it with his cheek. He stumbled, and I launched myself at him, driving my knee into his stomach, the knife falling to the ground uselessly as he doubled over with a grunt.It was hard,
The address left on the note was a factory, not unlike the one Marley had been taken from and within a few minutes of our safe house.The fucking asshole was right under our noses the whole time. Had he been surveiling Marley? Had he been following her? Had he watched as I had left her alone? I would love to find him, bounce him off the walls and ask... and then I'd let Marley kill him.As we neared the building, my skin prickled and I stopped, Tony on one side, Maddison on the other. “Lycan.”As the filthy word left my mouth, a dozen lycan came streaming from the building’s door and I lowered my center of gravity.“Leave none, alive.”We engaged.Fur ripped as we three, all elder vampires, slaughtered the lycan which stood in the way of getting to Marley. Animal after animal fell with a howl, my boot connecting with the head of one, sending it flying, its heavy body landing awkwardly on its own neck, cracking it and killing it instantl
I couldn’t take any more of this.Norman’s hand whipped across my face again, splitting the tender skin of my cheek and I sagged against the chair I’d been restrained on, as blood gushed down the side of my face. Even when I had boxed in high school, I knew what I could take. I was beyond my limit and I knew soon, my bones would start to break and then I’d be fucked.“So tasty…”My gaze lifted as Norman licked the back of his hand, taking my blood off his knuckles. The sick, ecstatic look to his face as he savored my blood, made me realize something.This was it. This shitty room, at the hands of this dickhead, was where I was going to see the end of my life.I always thought I would die at the hands of a rogue.Or maybe someone like Korin. A vampire lord who didn’t value me as much as Absinthe did… Or even at the hands of Rhayden, in one of our legendary fights.Hell, I once thought maybe Abe himself would have gotten tired of me and
Three hours.Surely that was a new record…Pity it was under shit circumstances and I wouldn’t ever want to claim the title of this one… because it would always remind me of what happened.Stepping onto the boundary of the factory, I stopped and surveyed the carnage.A war had happened here.But the clean up crew Korin would have sent, did a bang up job of cleaning, I had to admit that. There wasn't a single shred of evidence that supernatural creatures had fought here, just puddles of blood,which by morning would no doubt be soaked in. The scent of wet fur lifted to my nostrils.Fucking lycan.This would be the second time in a month Marley had been attacked by the over grown chihuahuas, and I was starting to wonder if there was something more to the attacks. Especially when last time, they had named me and demanded her.My gaze shifted to a dark patch on the grass near the ruined shutters and the smell of
My head pounded and I winced, trying to lay still, to lessen the pain.“Ah, you’re awake Miss Brennan…”My eyes fluttered open and I turned my head, looking at the man standing, leaning against the wall… I hadn’t seen things in the factory. “Vince…? Abe… he killed you.”“Yes, he did kill Vince. I am not Vince. I am his twin, Norman.”Norman… what a crappy name for a vampire. If I wasn’t in so much pain, I would have laughed. But it wasn’t just me head that hurt and I groaned, “What did you do to me?”“Not much really…” he said, walking closer, sitting in the chair beside the bed. “Drained you within an inch of your life…”“You what?” Had he tried to turn me?What the fuck would that do to Absinthe and Rhayden? Me… the fledgling of another, a bond unable to be broken, unless
Pacing the library, I waited for the phone to pick up.“This is Maddison.”I could hear the tautness of pleasure to the vampire’s voice, and it pissed me off. While I had told Tony, his relationship with Maddison was not forbidden, it was not looked upon favorably right now. “Where is Tony?”I heard the phone scrambled between hands as my head of security took the device from his fledgling. “Lord Raynes?”My temper was white hot. “Where have you been?”“Sir. We were with Lord James all of last night. Someone came into Miss Brennan’s room and tried to take her. We stopped them. But they had the mark of Korin’s coven, so we dragged him back to his master. Turns out he’s a traitor and Korin flayed him.”Yeah, that sounded about right for my cousin. If anyone crossed him, he would make them pay in the most painful of ways. “And now?”“Sir
Immortal Cravings Part 1-Temptation If there was ever a time to be worried about my safety, it was now.This very moment.Sneaking through the factories. Hunting creatures which shouldn’t exist.Persona Sanguinis. Person of the Blood.Vampires.Well, one kind specificlly.Sanguinis Perfide. Traitor of the blood.Somewhere on this dock, in this seething scent of fish, rubbish and motor oil, was a rogue vampire. A rogue which my boss wanted dead.Well, more dead than it already was.Back against the wall, I slid against the peeling paint, hearing it crackle behind me, hoping the sound didn’t attract unwanted attention. I out the blade in the thigh holder and bought it up in front of my face. Forged of silver, it’s a loan from my employer, a tool of my trade. Adjusting the collar on my jacket, I brought it up as high as it would go, making sure my flesh was covered.Always keep your neck covered, Marlene.Yeah, I’d been there before.This was not my first hunt, and it would not be my las...
