A loud knock on the door tore their attention from Chase. Guin moved to cover her naked form while Jax moved to open the door. On the other side of the door stood the large, masculine frame known as Grady. He took a quick glance around the room, stopping at Saraid, eyes wide as he took in her disheveled appearance, in nothing but a t-shirt. The heat in his stare made her wrap her arms around herself for cover. Liam had once suggested that Grady desired her, no, loved her and the look he gave her then told her that Liam was correct in his assumptions.
“You are a gracious and loyal friend to the crown Grady, but if you continue to look at my wife that way, I may just have to rip your eyes from their sockets,” Liam stated in a way that gave Grady pause.
“My apologies. I mean no harm, your highness.,” he addressed Saraid, ignoring Liam’s glare all together.
“It was not me that addressed you, Grady. It is disrespectful to ignore th
Just as Jax finished struggling with the zipper of his jeans, they heard an angelic voice on the other side of the adjoining room door.“Mama?”Saraid glanced at everyone around her to be sure that everyone was dressed before she responded with, “Yea baby, come on in.”Treasa’s little hand turned the knob and pushed the door open so she could peek inside. As she advanced further into the room, she met eyes with everyone there. When her gaze locked onto the vampire in the corner, her lips perked, and she let out a deafening squeal.“Uncle Jax! You’re back!”Jax dropped to his knees, eyes alight with joy and his arms wide open, “Of course I came back. I can’t stay away from you, Runt.”“I’m not a runt. I’m a big girl,” she laughed as she ran into his waiting arms.Jax wrapped his arms tightly around Treasa and lifted her, so she sat on his hip, &ld
Her eyes shot open at the sound of a familiar voice screaming her name, pleading for her to help. Saraid scanned her surroundings, hoping to spot a sign to lead her in the right direction. The same voice screamed again, a blood curdling scream.“Oh, no. I’m too late,” Saraid cursed herself under breath and ran in the direction of the screams.As Saraid ran faster, the screams drew nearer. “Just around this corner,” she chanted.She reached the end of the darkened gray hall and rounded the corner. Saraid stopped, gasping as she fought for air. This hall, like the last was empty. There was no sign of the woman or her attacker anywhere. She inched herself further down the empty hall, looking for a trace of Wendy. She was there, somewhere, she could feel her fear deep in her bones.“Wendy, I’m here. Where are you?” Saraid yelled into the empty air around her. The sound of her voice echoed along the vast hallway,
“Reaper is an Incubus. He unlike you though gets his kicks by throwing his powers around and feeding off unsuspecting women and from what I hear, not all of them are willing.”“So, what you’re saying is that he is a rapist of sorts?”“No not like that, but he is predatory in nature. I do not trust him with you.”
The sweet sound of playful chatter coming from Treasa’s room woke Saraid with a smile. For a moment she had forgotten the time spent in purgatory with Reaper, if that was indeed whom he was. He haunted her dreams that night. Dreams that would make a grown woman blush. He scared the living shit out of her so why was she fantasizing about him? She tucked her thoughts away into the deepest corner of her mind and looked over at the still sleeping man who had won her heart.Last night was the first night in a month that she had gotten to spend a night with Liam and Liam alone. Most nights their time was shared with Chase or all her companions. She found t
The drive to the cabin was a quick one. It was only two miles down the dirt lane and then a quarter of a mile walk into the woods. The cabin had been built in a place that Liam used to escape to whenever the stress of being a Guardian would get to him. It was his safe haven and he shared it with her.“It’s more beautiful than I remember,” Saraid stated in awe as she looked around the lush field brimming with flowers of violet and many shades of pink.“It does se
She blinked her eyes a few times trying to decipher what had just happened. She knew this greyscale world all too well, but what she didn’t know is why she and Liam were randomly transported back here.“How did we get here?” she asked as she continued to look at the meadow that in her world was full of bright and beautiful colors, but now looked bland and boring.“Your guess is as good as mine lil’ witch.”
Graten watched Saraid from just behind the veil as she frantically fucked the immortal life out of her pet vampire. He wasn’t sure what happened to drive her into that kind of frenzy, but he didn’t like it. The sight of her writhing underneath of another man set his ego on fire. It took every ounce of strength he had not to step through the veil and remove the vampires head from his shoulders. It was silly really because he knew she had multiple lovers, so even if he did manage to make it into her heart, he would have to share her bed.As the vampire’s last few pumps slapped against the bare skin of Saraid’s backside, Graten turned
“Well, good evening to you too,” Damon teased.Saraid took another glance at her surroundings and turned her curious eyes back to her father.“You live here?”Damon did not respond, he simply stepped out of her way and waved her inside. She and Grady accepted the invitation, thinking it woul
