Excerpt
Ashley wandered
through Eli’s bedroom, noting how bare it was. Except for a queen four-poster
bed, a dresser, and a fireplace, there was nothing else here. She wondered how
lonely he must have been to never make a real home in one place. Eva had told
her this small cabin in the north woods was always his favorite and that was
why she’d asked to be brought here.
After stoking a
fire, she donned the short red nightie that hardly covered her breasts and left
her long legs exposed. There was no way he could resist, not if he were half as
needful as she, and something told her he would be more so. She hoped he’d be
so lust ridden he’d complete the bond. Guilt filled her for what she was about
to do, but she’d do anything to save him. She’d worry about the aftermath
later.
The
double-winged tattoo on the back of her hip burned, and she’d learned it meant
Eli was close by. Was he watching from a distance? She stepped into the soft
light of the fire, knowing it cast a sensual glow across her skin. Yeah, she
was pulling out all the stops. A cool breeze whispered across her skin causing
her nipples to tighten.
He was here.
She turned, and
when her gaze fell upon him standing in the shadows she gasped. His naked chest
glistened in the firelight that reflected across the room. A thick rope of
muscles coiled just under his skin, and her fingertips itched to touch him.
Dark jeans, settled so low on his hips, she could see the dusting of hair that
led to his sweet spot. However, it was the massive black wings that stretched
out and brushed the ground that really drew her attention. Her fallen angel was
dark and sinister, yet every fiber of her being said he’d never harm her. He’d
come to her and she was determined to finish what they’d started.
She was
determined to save his soul.
“Eli.” She took
a step closer.
He flashed a
set of fangs. “I’ve never been weak in my entire life, but with you… You are my
weakness. Look at me Ashley, I’m one step away from claiming you. Being mated
to me will be a fate worse than death.”
Another step.
Careful not to scare him off, she stopped short of being able to reach out and
touch him. Opening her mind, he could feel everything she did should he choose
to. “You’re wrong. Walking away from you would be a worse fate. You’ve touched
something deep inside me. Fate brought us together because we need each other.”
She took the last step and placed her hands on his chest. He stiffened beneath
her touch.
“I need you and
I don’t mean just the physical. I mean emotionally as well. You have my heart
as well as my body. All of me, it belongs to you.”
His adam’s
apple rose and fell then he gripped her waist and tugged her close. He bent his
head and slanted his mouth over hers. Sucking her bottom lip through his teeth,
he gave a nibble; his fangs gently scraped her sensitive flesh before his
tongue slipped inside. She dragged her nails down his chest, and he deepened
the kiss. They both became lost in the moment.
Eli broke the
kiss and licked his way down her neck and across her clavicle. Ashley tipped
her head back on a moan.
“You have on
too many clothes,” he whispered.
“Then I suggest
you get rid of them,” she urged.
He wasted no
time. Gripping the top of her nightie, he ripped it wide open then shoved the
satin material off her shoulders and let it drop to the floor. She stood before
him, her body bathed in only the firelight.
“You should be
laid out on a bed of silk and worshipped. Instead, I tear your clothes from
your body.” He unbuttoned his jeans and shoved them to the floor, stepping free
from them before he kicked them aside. She started to reach for his erection,
but he spun her and pinned her back against the wall. “I can’t stop myself. I’m
so damn cold, and I need to feel your warmth wrapped around me.”
“Take what you
need.”
I’m
one step away from claiming you." ~Eli, Fall Into Darkness. Preorder
