The Mercenaries Dark Desires (ICS Book Three)

Author's Note

EDIT:  Even if you haven't read the first two you can still understand and follow along with this book. You wont have to have read Demon King or the Hunter's Queen to understand...although you should read them because they are pretty darn good. *wink wink*

Hey Fan-freaking-tastic Readers,

Here it is, book three! The one you all have been waiting for! 

To warn you all again this book is much darker, dirtier, and crazier then the last two books. I held nothing back. It's Nicholas Storm, so really, you should know what to expect.

He's my favorite, favorite, favorite. So dark and steamy and deadly.

Warning:

This is mature content. Contains strong language, violence, blood, a cursed kill frenzy mercenary, sexual situations, blood, a deadly sharp-tongued vampire who will kick your ass, madness, a sweet lonely mystic, a scheming mystic, and blood.

There is a lot of blood.

Sneak Peek:

They managed to keep pace for several hours before Alexandria's speed faltered to a slow walk. Panting, she leaned against a tree, wiping a hand over her brow.

"Am I going to need to carry you, vampire?" Nicholas asked in all seriousness, his eyes moving about the forest. They were just north of the fiery demon compound and he didn't wish to linger.

She waved a hand dismissively. "Just let me catch my breath."

Leaning back against a tree he waited. "Would you like me to find you something to eat?"

She winced and paled even further. He knew the animals disgusted her. The last one she'd barely choked down, gagging as she went. It had bothered him to watch. She wouldn't suffer with my blood...

"I can wait until the next village," she stated firmly.

Nicholas felt an immediate stab of jealously. "You plan to feed off another human?" Would it be a male? His fists clenched.

"Well, I do need to eat." She gave him a mischievous smile. "Unless you wish to volunteer?"

"You know I wont." Even he didn't sound convinced. He debated before asking, "Do you typically feed off men?"

She raised a brow. "Yes."

"Why men and not women?"

She shrugged, "Do you sleep with men?"

"No, but I'm not attracted to males."

"Same concept." She took a step closer to him, her eyes flickering black once more. Nicholas swallowed, fighting a wave of arousal. "Besides, men enjoy my bite."

He didn't want to know about this. He didn't. Fuck! "Is that so?"

She smirked, taking another step. "I'm told it's very pleasurable."

His mind reeled with images. Alexandria sinking those little fangs into his neck as she worked his cock. He could just imagine... 

Wait, she'd been told? "Have you ever been bitten?" Say no...

She shook her head, "No, biting another vampire is...personal." She took one last step, pressing her hand against his chest. He let her, part of him wondering where she would take this and part of him desiring her touch.

"How so?"

She fiddled with the lapel of his coat. "Sharing blood...it's brings a connection. It should only be done between mates. Not all Forsaken believe that though, the blood lust is too strong." Her eyes flicked up to his, black pools in the moonlight. "If you were a vampire you would drink from me. You would mark me as yours while you claimed me."

He shot hard at the very idea of it. He would sink his fangs so deep inside her, fucking her lush body at the same time. She'd come on my cock while I drank from her sweet flesh... 

"And would you like that?" he asked, his voice rough.

She flushed. "Yes. I would beg you for more. I'd want it again and again."

He shuddered. Leaning down, he tugged on a lock of her hair. "And where would I bite you, little vampire? Your neck?"

She rose up on her toes, her mouth close to his. "My neck to leave your mark. Then anywhere you'd like."

His eyes dipped lower, to the full swell of her breasts. What if he drank from her there? Nicholas traced his finger over her collarbone to the top of her creamy breast. "What if I want to bite you here?"

She nodded, black eyes full of need. He dipped his finger lower, circling a swollen nìpple. Her hands clenched as she made a sweet little sound in her throat. "What about here, vampire? Would you let me bite and suck you here?" 

"Yes," she keened. 

Snarling, Nicholas wrapped an arm around her waist, yanking her against him as his other hand cupped between her thighs. She cried out, her hips jerking. 

He palmed her roughly, rasping low in her ear, "What about here, Alexandria?"
