LOGINOsirusAs I was sitting at the table with my parents, eating my blood soup while talking about the recent attacks on our territory, the door opened, and my parents' butler walked in, clicked his heels, and bowed low to us.“Your Majesties, Tawnie De Sangre has arrived,” he announced.My spoon froze halfway to my mouth in shock. What in the hell was she doing here? She had never come to the palace unannounced before. Was she okay? My parents both stood up to move across the room toward her the moment she appeared behind the butler. My mother pulled Tawnie into her arms.“Tawnie, darling, it’s been too long,” my mother gushed.“I know, Auntie. I’m sorry, but I’m here now,” Tawnie replied, smiling brightly at her.I rolled my eyes at her overly sweet tone. Tawnie was far from sweet. She was very much a bitch, but my parents had only ever heard rumors of her cruelty, which they promptly brushed off because to them she would always be the sweet little girl they met all those years ago at o
Hours after I was dismissed for the night, I paced around my apartment, wondering if I should risk going back to Vegas that night or not. Goddess knew I wanted to. Desperately, if I was honest. I needed her to know what was going on in her territory. I should have said something when she showed up, but I had been too stuck in my feelings and lust to be able to focus on anything but my selfish desire. I had gotten my brother to agree to watch over Andresky at the hospital that night while he recovered. I couldn’t stay. The first time he had threatened Tawnie's life, I had almost shifted right then and there. Talon wanted to rip his throat out, but I hadn’t allowed him too.We needed to figure out if he was doing anything else in Tawnie’s territory before we killed him. The only good thing about Andresky being in the hospital was that I could go snooping in his office without being caught. I knew no one would be there. I had made sure of it. I had strategically placed all of Andresky’s
AlekI moved to stand behind Andresky as my mind rapidly tried to process my emotions. Tawnie looked so gorgeous in her no-nonsense casual business attire. Her seafoam green blouse and white slacks added to the ocean fantasy that was always wrapped around her. I wanted to take her hair out of the bun and bury my face in it while I buried my cock deep inside her warm, tight hole. Repeatedly. When my brother had called to inform Andresky that she was in town, Talon had jumped for joy while I had remained more cautiously hopeful. When I had seen Jace among her small party, all of my hope had died instantly. She was here on business, and it had nothing to do with me. With us. Talon had been furious, clawing at my mind in his desperation to get to her. He wanted to make her submit to us. He wanted to fuck her into accepting us. He was willing to do everything we could to make her ours. We had almost lost it when she wanted us to ride up with them. I hadn’t been able to help the snotty res
TawnieA Few Days Later I cursed loudly as Storm’s scent steadily grew stronger. I heard her when she got to my penthouse, but I was not in the mood to see her. I had spent the last 16 hours, curled up in my bed, missing Alek like crazy. His scent, which had completely disappeared from everywhere else, but my bed, was still the only thing that seemed to calm me down. I couldn’t believe that I had let him into my head so much. I really hadn’t changed from that young vampire who wanted nothing more than the kind of love my parents shared. I still secretly wanted it so bad that I was willing to put myself in a potentially bad situation to have a chance at it. I groaned as I thrashed irritatedly in my bed. I knew that if anyone asked me about it the next day, I would deny it. Even to myself. I only stopped thrashing when she stopped outside my bedroom door before knocking. “Tawnie, may I come in?”I rolled over onto my stomach before pulling a pillow over my head. “Go away,” I mumbled i
AlekLater that evening, I stood in the shower with my arm braced against the tile and my head down. My thoughts raced as I thought about the phone call Andresky had received. How in the hell did I have no idea that he was trafficking children? Even more than that, how in the hell was I going to punish him? Even more importantly, how in the hell was I going to get word to Tawnie? She needed to know. I knew that she would take care of it, and punish the people responsible for hurting the kids. Even more than that, I knew that she would do everything in her power to help them. Or at least, I thought she would.To be honest, I didn’t know that much about her, but I hoped that she had a fondness for children. At least a little. If she didn’t, I didn’t know if we would ever have children, and I wanted to have everything with her. Eventually, that was. I didn’t know what would happen if she didn’t agree with me and–wait! Did I want kids with Tawnie? I had never wanted them before. I never e
StormI was traipsing through the streets of Vegas, trying to clear my head after letting Alek’s tiger into Tawnie’s penthouse. I had been smelling him for days, but out of respect for Tawnie, I had ignored his presence. Well, ignored it as much as I could with all things considered. I could tell that Tawnie was hurting. I just didn’t know why. The only thing I knew was that whenever she got frustrated or angry and stormed off, I always found her somewhere Alek’s scent was the strongest. As soon as I stepped out of the casino, Alek’s scent mixed with blood hit my nose, making me frown.What in the hell? All shifters in our line of business knew that leaving our scents anywhere was a death sentence. That was why when we were working, we all wore scent blockers. So, why was his bloody scent everywhere? Was he working in our city? What in the hell was he playing at? If he had the gall to do a job in Vegas, I was going to hunt him down! Tawnie did not allow any other bosses to send people
