*Completed* *Unedited* With every step he took towards me, I took one back until I hit the edge of his bed. A deep growl rumbled from his throat and I tried to make myself smaller in hopes that he would leave me alone. Being a human, I stood no chance against this beast in front of me. He would tear me apart. His muscles rippled with ease from underneath his shirt; his stance towered over me; his eyes colored with darkness; and I knew he was struggling to keep his wolf contained. "Kitten, don't act all scared. This is what you wanted, isn't it? You've always fantasized about what it would be like to be with a beast like me." His hand approached me slowly and then brushed my hip. I gasped. His teeth grazed my neck and I unconsciously leaned my head away, so he could have more room. "Answer me!" he growled. My chest furiously moved up and down as I tried to calm myself. I shook my head. "Well, Kitten, you're MINE. Whether you like it or not."

Ancient Blood Series: Book 2 - She shook her head the micro amount his grip would allow. "I... I killed all those people!" "Yes," the word came out in a low purr, and her heart fluttered. There was a heat in his eyes that made her legs tremble. "You killed them. And how did it feel?" She stopped shaking. Her breath slowed, and the world went quiet. It was just them. Did she dare say it out loud? He would understand. He saw right through her... as he always did. That special brand of lust and hunger he brought out in her sparked to life. Kate leaned into his touch, lifted herself up on her toes until she was a fraction of an inch away from his lips, and whispered, "I loved it." - This book has a MATURE rating for adult content and is not appropriate for audiences under the age of 17. - Approx. 175,000 words - Enjoy
