Caressed by the Edge of Darkness - Excerpt
~“I’m not the kind of human that cowers. I will not run from you.”
He appreciated Jordan’s bravery but not her attitude. Losing his patience
he snapped, “Would you like a job or not?”
“I can find my own, thanks.” She turned on her heel and marched toward
the door.
Let her go.
Gabriel blocked her exit. He should let her be angry. He should allow her
to believe he hated her so that she would hate him, but…he couldn’t.
“Get out of my way!”
“Not a chance.”
She squared her shoulders and notched her chin up. Regal, stunning, her
violet eyes flashed with defiance, challenge. “Should the lowly human have asked
for your permission to leave?” She pulled her hair to the side revealing the
graceful column of her neck. “Should I play the meek mortal and let you tap my
vein.” Her sensual mouth curled in a taunting smile. “My blood, I know you want
it, leech.”
Tempting lips. Sexy voice. Bitchy words. Goddamn, he wanted her. “I thought
we’d already established if I wanted your blood, I could just take it.” His
eyes narrowed. “No. There is something else I want from you right now.”
He advanced. She didn’t back away. Oh, he loved her spirit. Reveled in
it. Vampires shrank from him, but not his mortal. He doubted Jordan could even
spell retreat.
She moistened her lips, her tiny teeth catching the dip of her bottom
lip. He groaned. He’d nibble and lick that bow for her. As if she could read
his thoughts, Jordan responded to him. Pink tinted her high cheekbones; her
breaths grew heavy and the scent of jasmine intensified.
With unfathomable speed, he lunged. Before she could react, he had her
hair wrapped around his fist. Their bodies slammed together. Soft curves to
unyielding muscle.
He had her pinned against the back of the chaise. They both knew with one
swift movement he could have her beneath him.
Gabriel tightened his hold on her hair as he drew his other hand up her
body. His gloved fingers skimmed the outside of her thigh, gently brushed over
the arch of her hip, caressed her side, lightly tickled her rib cage, and
stopped. His hand hovered just above her breast.
One heartbeat. Two.
Jordan pressed forward; her luscious breast fit his palm perfectly.
They both groaned and shuddered from the contact.
“You make me crazed,” Gabriel grated. Tilting his head down, he rubbed
his face against her hair, inhaling deep. “I’ve wanted…” He pressed a kiss
to the curve of her neck then to the tip of her ear.
She shivered in his arms. He could sense her need, her desire. It matched
his own. Strong. Relentless.
He kneaded her breast, her nipple stiffened beneath her shirt. The pearl
abraded his palm, taunting him. Gabriel wanted to taste it, to pull it between
his lips. Would she like it if he used his teeth…his fangs?~
Hardened by centuries of torture, former blood slave, Gabriel Erhard, is driven by an insatiable need to destroy his enemies. Violence darkens his battered soul, leaving no place for mercy in his world. Gabriel’s only desire is vengeance—until he finds her.
Seized by vampires, bound as a slave, and placed on the auction block, Jordan Culver is instantly entranced by the dangerous male who claims her. Jordan’s new captor vows to set her free, but his haunted gaze burns with savage desire and his wicked kiss makes her crave his touch and...complete surrender.
While Gabriel battles his enemies, he will break every sacred law to achieve his ultimate goal—uniting the Outcast Society and creating a new vampire Clan. But the distracting human with mesmerizing violet eyes jeopardizes his plans. With every soft whisper she evokes his tormented memories, tests his sanity and challenges his every boundary. Can Jordan help him overcome the miseries of his past and find a future with her? Or will he lose what remains of his soul and become a true beast?
