Excerpt from Season of the Witch
Fuck you. What the hell was she thinking? Fuck her!
The best and the sexiest from every preternatural race attempted her seduction
at one time or another. Every last one of the magicks, in the right glamour,
looked damned hot. Luckily, they couldn’t reproduce with humans—which was a
very good thing. Otherwise, there would be little halflings running around all
over the place. Ariel, known everywhere as the King’s Seducer—an actual title
within the fae court—never got past first base with her.
The last magick to try—a sexy dragon—still called and texted
in hopes of catching her with her guard down. She just thought Nikos
Constantine could kiss. If not for a bansidhe attack, she might have been
tempted by Nikos. In the end, though, she’d shut him down. All those attempts
were to no avail, but here she was in a vampire’s arms ready to waive all
rights to her virginity.
Hiding the fact she was ready for a horizontal tango
remained high on Sade’s to-do list. She’d made out with guys before. A lot.
Well, okay. A little. Caleb and Roman never let her out of their sight for very
long. Not even Ari or Nikos could get her between the sheets. She was not
frigid, despite what Caleb thought. She wasn’t.
The fact Sinjen had her all hot and bothered at the moment
proved her point. Her girlie bits snapped to attention, returning the salute
from his manly bits...or vampirely
bits as the case might be. That meant he’d fed. That bit of lore was correct.
Sade once checked with a doctor about it, a prominent cardiologist, in fact.
The process all had to do with blood pressure and well...stuff. A twinge of
jealousy nipped at her. He’d fed. On someone. Besides her.
“That can be arranged,” Sinjen breathed into her mouth.
Sade squeaked. Had he read her mind? There seemed to be a
lot of that going on. When he continued, she realized his mind was on something
completely different.
“But fuck is such a vulgar word for what I want to do to
you, Lady Sade.” He murmured the words against her cheek as his mouth left her
lips and trailed upward toward her ear. His lips paused on the wildly beating
pulse under the soft skin of her throat. As he nuzzled, her pulse quickened
even more and he smiled. “Will my ice queen scorch me before the night is
through?” The word’s whispered across her skin.
Once again, Sade’s knees all but buckled under his ardent
assault. Damn, she thought. All those romance novels are right after
all. That was the last coherent thought she had as Sinjen’s arm tightened
around her waist. His other hand cupped the back of her head and held her still
for the onslaught of his lips and tongue. He angled her head so he could trail
kisses down her throat before returning to assault her mouth.
As she melted against him, Sinjen kissed the tip of her nose
and rested his forehead against hers. Sade trembled in his arms but it wasn’t
because she was afraid. No, she would never fear him.
“What a treasure you are,” he murmured, his lips nibbling
hers as he spoke. “But I fear you think far too much.”
