He shot to his feet, faced off against her. “No more mercy for ye, Valkyrie.” Holding nothing back, he launched a haymaker at her head.She ducked and laughed. “That accent you work so hard to...

Regin!” He leapt up from a bunk.”Well, well, the gang’s all here.” Nix must’ve given him Regin’s whereabouts. Again.”I’m going to get you out of here,” he said, his green eyes aglow.She snorted. “Let me...

Finally the vampire released him with another groan, sitting back on his haunches. “Your blood is steeped in power.” Running his tongue over a fang, he said, “Among other things. I believe I might be...

When Thad began nuzzling her neck, pressing his opened lips against her, she smacked him in the back of the head. “Don’t go vamp on me now!””Whaa!” He shot upright, his fangs sharp. “Where am...

You could run, and I could stay to fend them off,” the vampire offered. “For some reason, I feel amazingly refreshed.” He swung an amused look at Declan that made him grind his teeth. “And...

She murmured, “You’re unfinished.””Aye, precisely.””I need to go.”When she moved to get up, he shoved her against his side and slapped her arse to keep her there. “You stay with me.”She snapped, “What do you...

You’re a fuckin’ parasite.” I could never become a vampire. Filthy leeches.”Words still hurt, Chase. Besides, you should be thanking me. My advice about the Valkyrie clearly worked. And speaking of females, if I call...

Valkyrie, if there was ever a cradle to be robbed … Gods, just look at him.” …… “Face it, Nat, this is one tiger who will never be jumping through your flaming hoop–

Yo, Dekko, who do I gotta blow around here to get a shower?

He can learn things about me through your blood. Can learn about my sister!” She briefly covered her mouth. “He can see everything we’ve done! I don’t want that leech to know what we do...

He gripped her nape. “I fuckin’ love you, Regin!” Rain spiked his lashes as he gazed down at her, commanding her, “Love Me Back

When they passed the centaur king’s cell, Volos pointed at Regin and slid his forefinger across his throat.She replied, “Hey, didn’t I see you in a donkey show down in Tijuana? No? You’ve got a...

Don’t get pissy with me leech.” With a glare, Carrow pressed her print to his torque. “Even tapped out, I can still do a love spell to make you fall in love–with the sun.

I give you a week, maybe two, before you’re driven to bite someone.””I don’t know how to… to bite or drink! But you could teach me.””And what could you possibly do in return?” Lothaire waved...

Love me back!

She gazed around with a bored air. “This feels just like Law and Order. But shouldn’t you lawyer up before I throw the book at you? No? So what’s in the IV bag?

I’m told the effect is cumulative–it will continue to worsen.” Though outwardly calm as he explained this, his face had paled even more. “But if you tell me about the Valkyrie’s weaknesses, I’ll administer the...

I can’t believe you’re going to sacrifice your archery mojo for MacReive.” Lucia would forfeit her fantastical skill with a bow if she was unchaste. “Who am I going to hang out with when your...

Straightaway, she’d called to the guard, “Oh, boys?” She’d sauntered to the glass in only her black lace bra and panties. “I need some assistance,” When they slowed, agog, she’d purred, “Can one of you...

Warlord, you once told me I’d always know what you’re thinking. What are your thoughts now?””Partly, I’m thinking that I might shame myself in my trews, just from the feel of you next to me.

Just hear me out. While you were napping, I was busy chatting up our allies. Didn’t you know–your woman’s a golden-tongued ambassador! My sisters always said I graduated from the shock-and-awe school of diplomacy, but...

You see, that’s the thing with you detrus,” Chase began in a contemplative tone. “Your bodies are abominations. If I severed your arms–“Lothaire yawned loudly.”–you’d merely regenerate from the injury. You might experience pain, but...

He’s like six hundred years younger than you are. I refuse to be the moral compass of our cell! Most weekends I have an intoxispell bong attached to my mouth like a respirator. I love...

Wouldn’t be surprising. Most immortal females behave like they’re in heat.”Her brows rose. “You are the one who taught me about pleasure.” … “And now in another lifetime, you ridicule me for missing it? Come...

It felt bizarre to be ignored in general, much less by an embodiment of Aidan–who used to stare at her so hard that he’d run into trees.

There’s no poetry in me, Reginleit. No fine words.” He stared down at her, his gaze seeming to consume her. “I come to you as a man unfinished.

You’re still… Declan?”—-Voice hoarse, he said, “Aye, it’s me. I will never be your perfect Viking, Regin! I’ve made unforgivable mistakes. I’ve no family or friends, and my men hold no love for me. I’m...

Once I’m free, we’re going to find out exactly how much pain you can endure while remaining conscious. I won’t stop until you tell me where my ring is.” He leaned in to say at...

…, It’d taken her several seconds to react to the sight of them together. She’d been almost hypnotized by the scene as Lothaire drank. Chase’s masculine face had been tense, his gray eyes focused on...

Lothaire briefly gazed heavenward. “Chase is clearly a reluctant sharer. Which should incite her curiosity about what’s going on in his head. She’s a disgustingly self-righteous Valkyrie, filled with the need to fix things, to...

Seconds passed, then … La Dorada skulked into view. She was half-mummified, but sodden. Gooey.Regin let out a low whistle. “The Mummy Returns meets Dingoes Ate My Face.”—-La Dorada swung her head around, peering at...

Face it, Nat, this is one tiger who will never be jumping through your flaming hoop–

Apparently unaffected, she rose. “Yeah, you’re probably right. I should be going.” She feigned a yawn. “You’ve gotta head back to work and I’ve gotta head to jail. Big night for me. I’m planning to...

Tell me, if I take you to my room and put you in my bed, what do you think would happen?””I can draw you a diagram. Hint: I’m slot B, and you’re tab A.

Valkyrie, I will get answers from you one way or another. Either through this painful exercise in futility, as you believe, or through a civilized conversation.””You call this civilized?” She strained against her cuffs, leaning...

The largest one laughed. Until Natalya’s glass shard plugged his jugular. Regin aimed and pulled the trigger. The gun kicked as bullets sprayed. It was shredding their torsos like cheese, halving their bodies. “Let’s do...

No ale for the girl, Birgit,” Aidan said to the woman. “Do we not have milk?”Regin’s face heated. And all the worse, because she would dearly love some milk.

What’d you want to talk about?””Just to commend you on your revenge last night. It must have been fiendish. Of course, I can only imagine since there wasn’t a mark on Chase this morning, only...
