I am everything you seek. I am vampire.
Blessed with the gift of
telepathy, Terek always knows what a woman wants. His gift has afforded him
nightly sensual pleasures and exotic treats for centuries, but beneath the
surface he yearns for much more.
Ilona can give him what his soul
craves, but only if he trusts his heart. One fateful choice made out of desire
puts all he cares for in danger. With a civil war and the threat of Archon
hunters at every turn, this Son may lose everything if he can't find the
balance between heart and mind.
Excerpt #1:
Tracing
the outline of her jaw, he watched the face of this angel and hated having to
wake her. But if she didn't take his blood, he'd lose her for certain and for
the first time since he'd turned her, he knew he couldn't bear to think of his
world without her.
"Ilona,"
he whispered near her cheek. "Wake. I'm here."
Slowly
her eyelids fluttered open and eyes vacant and lost stared back at him.
"Terek?"
Her
gaze cut like a knife to his heart. She was nearly gone already, her soul
slipping into that void between the vampire and human worlds.
"Look
into my eyes, Ilona. Look! I need you to stay with me."
Her
eyelids drooped as she began to lose consciousness. Terror raced through his
body. There was no more time to wait. Fear of losing her controlled his every
move, and his fangs exploded into his mouth. In seconds, he'd pierced his wrist
and the blood began to seep from his vein.
Pressing
it to her pale lips, he waited in desperation for her to take his blood into
her mouth. The blood pooled on her lips, but she made no effort to take it.
"Ilona!
Listen to your sire. Drink. Now!" he commanded.
Her
eyes opened and turning her head, she whispered, "No. Let me go."
More
roughly than he should have, he grabbed her face in his hand and forced her to
look at him. "No, I will not lose you! Drink!"
Her
voice began to fade and faintly she answered, "Please. I can't live like
this."
Terek
bent over her and placed a kiss on her lips. The fear that he'd lost her
already pressed on his heart and even though he didn't understand why, he was
sure when she left him she'd take a piece of his soul with her.
He
whispered against her lips one last plea. "Do not take her from me. God,
leave her with one who can care for her. I beg of you. Do not take her."
"Why
do you want me to live when I don't?" she whispered hoarsely.
"Because
there is something special in you as there is in all creatures."
A
tiny sigh escaped from between her lips. "You made me this and left
me."
Cradling
her face in his hands, he said, "I'm sorry. Don't do this. Don't leave
me."
"I
can't be one of these women. I don't understand this."
Terek
kissed her tenderly. "Then don't be. Stay anyway."
Anguish
filled her voice. "I woke and I was so hungry. But I don't want food. I
hungered for you, but you were gone."
"Take
from me everything you hunger for. Take from the one who knows what you
need."
Pressing
his wrist to her mouth, he fed her soul with his blood. Timid, she stared up at
him in fear, but soon her hands held his arm to her lips and she eagerly took
what he offered.
Her
need for him—for his blood—touched his heart, and a closeness unlike anything
he'd experienced in ages came over him. Something about Ilona made him feel
like he hadn't felt in almost seven hundred years.
He
wanted to save her, to show her the wonders the world offered. If she would
allow him, he'd give her that world.
Ilona
opened her eyes, and Terek saw that his blood had begun to bring her back from
the empty abyss he'd feared and she'd begged for. A tiny smile formed on her
lips, making him happy.
