Chapter 13 Michael felt the demon’s approach a mere second before the thing streaked past him with amazing speed. Oddly enough, it had looked like Peter Pan being chased by a bunch of those shadow beasts, just like the one that bit him earlier. He wished he’d had a video camera rolling when one of the snake-shaped shadows plowed right through Damon’s back and came out his chest. Damon froze in his spot when he felt something cold press into him and glanced down just in time to see it shoot out of his chest. He reached for it, to snatch it out of the air, but the thing was already gone. “What the hell,” Damon complained softly, not enjoying the cold sensation the passing left behind. “It happened so fast that I didn’t even get a chance to warn you,” Michael stated, with an apologetic shrug. It was all he could do not to laugh because that had actually been very entertaining to watch. Damon frowned in the direction it had gone, then turned to face his mate, who seemed to b
Chapter 14 Zeke was trying to stay as quiet as possible as he made his way across the rafters, hidden just above the thin drop ceiling. He wanted to make it into the warehouse, in hopes that whoever had erected that stupid barrier hadn’t been smart enough to extend it to the end of the loading docks. He achingly remembered knocking Hank’s truck out of gear just this morning and now regretted not leaving the building when he’d had a chance. He had been sitting so close to those huge dock doors and freedom that he’d felt the sunshine on his face. If he’d only known what was going to happen, he wouldn’t be shrouded in darkness by the shadow demons right now or being hunted by something that wanted to eat his freakin’ soul. Zeke cringed away from the noises that didn’t belong in the ceiling with him. The slithering sounds let him know that the shadow beasts were still searching for him and getting closer. Reaching out to move forward, his hand touched something cold and it s
Chapter 15 Crouched on one of the high shelves out of sight, Shinbe was growing restless. This fight was lasting much longer then he’d anticipated, and he had to give credit to the demon’s side… there was, after all, power in numbers. The fact that there were more shadow beasts coming out of that deep hole in the floor was only making it worse. Causing a cave in wasn’t an option either, since it would take everyone with it… including the crystal he had come to retrieve. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully then glanced down at the beads that were wrapped securely around his wrist and palm. He closed his fingers over the protective barrier the sacred beads created. If he released the cursed void, it would even the odds in no time, by sucking up the army of shadow beasts and allowing the brothers to focus the fight back where it belonged… on the demon. But there was a down side to using such an awesome weapon. The cursed void was not picky as to what it sucked up into the black ho
Chapter 16 Damon smirked as he leaned against the cop car closest to the front doors of the building waiting for his brothers to emerge. Did the girls really think if they walked away from him and whispered… that he wouldn’t still hear them… seriously? Tabatha had just asked Alicia to distract him so she could go check on Kane, and now he was patiently waiting to see just how his mate thought she was going to accomplish such a feat. “You’re the one that has to obey him for the rest of the night… not me,” Tabatha added with a huff, then tilted her head in Damon’s direction, indicating Alicia should go try. Alicia bit her bottom lip and glanced at Damon from beneath her eyelashes. There was only one way she knew of that might work. Releasing her full bottom lip from its torture, she licked it and started toward Damon with one mission in mind… seduction. Damon pushed away from the cop car and stood to his full height, having just spotted his brothers through the glass of th
Blood Rain Blood Bound Series Book 13 Amy Blankenship, RK Melton Copyright © 2017 Amy Blankenship English Edition Published by Amy Blankenship Second Edition Published by TekTime All rights reserved.Chapter 1 Ren rematerialized in the front room of The Witch’s Brew… right back in the same spot he’d disappeared from and glared down at the top of Lacey's head. She was sitting on the floor with her back to him holding and rocking Vincent like a damn baby… with his head pressed against her breasts no less. The muscles around his eyes tightened in irritation. Lacey jerked her head up and frowned when the black lights in the room started to flicker, making her worry that the thunderstorm was going to take out the power here, like it had at the ‘Museum of the Damned’. She flinched and tightened her hold on Vincent when a deafening crack of thunder slammed through the atmosphere, at the same second she saw the flash of lightning. Vincent let a smirk pull
Chapter 2 Ren palmed the small of Lacey's back and pulled her closer, making her heat slide deliciously the rest of the way up his thigh. He ground his erection against her stroking hand and deepened the kiss with a harsh growl, moving in an erotic rhythm that she was willingly matching. Most of the demons had moved on, allowing him to slowly come down off the paranormal power surge but he was unwilling to let her in on that little secret just yet, due to the new high he was caught up in. Lacey stilled when she realized she was no longer feeling the creepy sensation down her spine that had been caused by the demons outside the window. Remembering the demons had a domino effect on her… reminding her of the fact that only a few moments ago, Vincent’s arms had mysteriously disappeared from around her. The scene flashed in her mind making her flinch. The second she stopped riding his thigh and returning the kiss with such abandon, Ren released her lips and pulled back enough to st
Chapter 3 “I need to get out of these clothes,” Lacey said, glancing down at the cocktail dress she was still wearing. The dress had been really pretty when she’d first put it on, but after the frightening night she’d had, it was dirty and actually ripped in a couple of places where she’d been pierced by those demon strands. A shockwave of intense sexual need hit her hard and Lacey snapped her startled gaze back up to Ren's stone faced expression. Had that come from her… or him? She hadn’t been thinking about sex when she’d mentioned taking her clothes off but damn if it wasn't on her mind now. “And obviously another ice cold shower is in order,” she added, placing the palm of her hand against the tightening of her stomach muscles. She’d never been shy when it came to talking about sex and she wasn't going to start biting her lip now. “Am I leeching this sexual need from you?” Ren had practically stopped breathing when he’d imagined removing her dress for her in one fluid m
Chapter 4 Angelica slipped through her bedroom door and quickly shut it behind her. Sliding the lock in place, she leaned her forehead against the thick wood wishing it was made of something stronger… titanium maybe. Releasing a heavy sigh, she frowned and stepped away from the door, staring at the lock like it was her only hope. In a way it was. That little lock was the only thing between her and the craving she had to see Syn now that he wasn't here watching her… stalking her. Lifting her hand, she rubbed her right temple in furious little circles trying to piece together the fact that she had just ran away from the man… or whatever he was, only to now miss him so much that her chest was actually aching. “I don’t need anyone,” Angelica reminded herself but her fingers paused in mid circle. She jerked her hand down from her temple tasting the lie within the words. Considering she felt the withdrawal symptoms, she might as well label him as what he was… an addiction. Slo
