Some bonds are chosen. Others are carved into your soul. Vivienne Minthe thought escaping Manna City meant reclaiming the quiet life she once knew but fate isn't done with her yet. After rescuing Blake Thorne, the dangerously alluring vampire she once knew as a boy, Vivienne is thrust back into a world of oaths, ancient powers, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Their bond is mysterious, forbidden, and stronger than she understands-pulls her closer to Blake even as her heart urges her to run. Home is no refuge. Her family abandons her, demons stalk the city, and Vivienne's childhood fears begin to awaken in terrifying, uncontrollable ways. As she struggles to uncover the truth behind her past, Vivienne must confront a rising darkness-and the seductive, unpredictable vampire tied to her by destiny. When an old female friend, Allison Devon, returns carrying secrets and scars, Vivienne becomes trapped between loyalty, love, and survival. The monsters of Manna City were only the beginning... and the new horrors stalking her want more than her blood-they want her soul.

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days.
