LOGINHis fingers closed over hers quickly. If she didn't know better, she'd think he was panicking. “Get lost.” Liz studied his face for a long time. Did he really want her to get lost? She liked that exasperated look on his face so much. It was an expression she'd hardly seen on her stepfather. That ma
Liz turned away with a small pout. “I was waiting for you.” Damien glanced at her before walking towards the wardrobe. He seemed perfectly comfortable, as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Liz watched him change his clothes. She couldn't help noticing that he seemed to be in a rath
Damien pushed a book across the table. It was old and worn but otherwise well kept. Elizabeth glanced at it before looking up at him. She recognized that book immediately. It was one of the many gifts she'd given him in the past. Who knew he would keep it for so long? The vampire lord had been unu
Silas smiled. "Now, I think we should celebrate." "Celebrate what?" "Coming home, of course." Was that enough reason for a celebration? Still, she didn't protest when he kissed her again, wet and needy. The counter edge hit the backs of her thighs and Silas didn't give her time to second-guess i
