I am everything
forbidden. I am vampire.
Excerpt:
"Solenne,
can you find a woman who doesn't smell like she's been deep fried in animal fat
tonight?"
Closing
the door to the refrigerator, Solenne turned to see Saint standing at the
kitchen's center island. Shirtless. Again.
"Saint,
do you own any shirts or do you need me to pick some up for you?"
Smirking,
he raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Have we become a prude?"
Pushing
past him, she sat down at the table and popped a grape into her mouth.
"Don't you concern yourself with me, but dial back the Cro-Magnon act, can
you?"
Leaning
against the counter, Saint propped himself up on his elbows and rolled his
eyes. "And the girl from last night?"
Solenne
secretly enjoyed the thought of him repelled by Marie for any reason. Maybe he
didn't drink from her. That would explain why he was being such an ass. Maybe
he didn't sleep with her either.
"Marie
seemed perfectly fine to me," she said casually as she picked grapes off
the vine. "Maybe you just weren't her type. Maybe she has more refined
tastes in men."
"Yeah,
that sounds right. A woman who smells like a French fry has refined tastes.
Just find me a woman who smells like a woman should."
You'll be lucky if I bring you one at all.
Saint
strolled past her after issuing his order as if he were the king of the castle.
God, he was infuriating! If she'd ever
met a man who could push her buttons more than Saint, she couldn't remember
him. Wouldn't have wanted to remember him, at any rate.
It
still amazed her how different he and his brother were. Teagan was smooth and
so much fun to be around. And Saint? Always the darker, more sullen brother,
he'd transformed into a shell of the man she'd met a hundred years ago, more
detached and alone than anything else now.
But
behind his gruff exterior—behind the defensiveness—that vulnerable soul she'd
known then must still exist. At least she hoped it did.
It
did no good to think about that now, though. She had a job to do, and at the
moment that meant finding a human female to provide him with what he needed.
Even
if it felt like she was betraying everything she held dear in her heart the
whole time she was doing it.
