The Black Rose Chronicles, Deceit and Lies: Book 1 in this suspenseful, action filled, and sizzling paranormal romance.

by A K Michaels

  Now they lay in each other’s arms, legs entwined, her arm across his stomach and gently tickling him. “You need food and we still have a conversation to finish.”

  “Do we have to?” She nestled closer to him, tightening her hold on his body.

  “Yes, we do, but first I’d like to know your thoughts on what Seth said about us being soul-mates?”

  Rose frowned. “Hell if I know. I’ve never even thought of anything like that. I’ve been pretty damn sure stuff like that was nothing more than a fairy tale. Happiness forever with one person seems kinda a stretch to me.”

  Cassius ran a finger down her face. “Really? Because I’ve seen soul-mated couples and trust me, they are very happy. However, I never even dreamed it possible for me to find one.”

  “Guess the only thing we can do is see where this takes us.” Rose leaned into his hand, sighing.

  “I suppose so. We can talk about it more later but for now we do need to get up.” Extricating himself, he made a call asking Sue to send up some food before pointing to the bathroom. “We have time for a quick shower.”

  “Hell, you’re such a spoilsport.” She giggled as she sat up in naked gloriousness in the middle of the bed.

  “Shower, now, then food, and then we talk.”

  Following him to the bathroom he made sure the shower was indeed quick. Cassius wanted nothing more than to sink deep inside her once more but knew they would have to face the repercussions of her assignment and the fact she’d reneged on it. He only hoped he could deal with the fallout and keep any ramifications to a minimum. Hopefully, with Valentine’s help they could deal with it quickly and efficiently.

  “Can’t we just go back to bed?” She cajoled as he wrapped a robe around her.

  “No.” Laughing he went to answer a knock on the still broken door. “That’ll be the food.”

  “Darn.” She opened the robe giving him a flash of her delectable body. “You sure?”

  A soft moan escaped him as he fought to control his reaction. “Food, and if you carry on like that I may just have to give that luscious ass of yours a good spanking later.”

  “Promises, promises.” Rose laughed, picking up a pillow and throwing it at him playfully.

  Once he’d retrieved the tray from Sue he turned back, shouting. “Okay, come and eat and then we can discuss who it was that hired you.”

  “I hope there’s fries. I love fries,” Rose said as she left the bedroom, dressed casually in jeans, a tight vest top that had his cock twitching, and her hair up in a loose knot; held in place by those darn silver sticks he’d burned his fingers on. He gave her a slow smile as she stopped, worry on her face. “I’m not sure what we can do about who hired me. He’s powerful, Cassius, very powerful and deadly.”

  “Yes, I am.”

  Rose’s heart stopped as strong arms encircled her from behind, holding her in a vice so she couldn’t even move her arms. Cassius roared, his face a mask of hatred as he dropped the tray. “Let her go!”

  “No.” Basilius laughed and Rose felt herself disappear, her last sight being Cassius lurching to grab her as the Demon took her fuck knew where.

  “Shit,” she blurted, knowing she was in it right up to her fucking neck.
