"I'm smelling four."

“You dare to think of another man in my presence?” The Alpha growled with a burning desire in his eyes. He glowered at Lavinia whose hands were tied. “What does that man have that I don’t? That filthy vampire, you think he’s going to save you?”
His hands ran through her bare skin, sending shivers to her spine.
“Please, leave me alone,” Lavinia begged in desperation. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Then be mine, Lavinia.” He leaned closer to her. His breath fanned her face. “I’ll make you the ha...

"Call me your stepson one more time." He growls lowly. I gulp nervously, feeling a sudden pool of desire in the pit of my stomach. My body feels scorched by his hot gaze. It feels like molten on my skin. "You're hurting me, Damian," I whisper and gasp when I feel the hotness of Daemon's body behind me. I frown slightly. Why's the Moon turning dark red?
