That scent was for him and him alone.
“What would that be, princess.” His own voice was gravelly, belying this own arousal.
Down boy! Robes were not designed for containing erections. Not vampire ones anyway. Xavier leaned down and her lips brushed against his lobe.
“I promised to kiss you all better.” His sweet princess went on to explain in explicit, filthy detail just how she planned on making him better, ending with a sharp, highly erotic nip to his ear. The delicate scrape to his flesh had his robe tenting.
Xavier pulled her into his arms. “I can’t wait,” he whispered. “To spend forever with you.”
Chapter 15
The Vampire Castle…
The female stretched her back and if he really tried, Zane was sure he would be able to see her pussy. Her dress was short, and so tight that he could make out the outline of her breasts including her pebbled nipples. He wasn’t in the least bit interested and was sure to keep his eyes on hers in order to convey that. There was nothing she had that he wanted to see. Especially with the thought of his female’s lush curves still at the forefront of his mind. His attraction to Tanya grew as she ripened with child. It was becoming harder and harder to stick to the pact he and Brant had agreed to. Especially since their human didn’t agree. They needed to do what was best for their mate and unborn child even if it killed them.
Looking at him from under long lashes, she touched his arm. “You look like you are hungry, my lord.” She purred. “Would you like to come back to my room? I’m sure that the queen will understand.”
He took in a deep breath trying hard not to smile. There was no way in hell his little human would understand. Tanya would have his dick and both his balls if he even thought about being with another female…in any way, shape or fucking form. Zane loved that she was so possessive.
Arching a brow, the female obviously took his silence as permission to continue. The hand that had lightly touched the side of his arm, closed over his bicep and he found everything in him tightening and not in a good way.
“I will make you feel so good.” She purred some more.
“No thank you,” Zane growled a little too harshly. Not liking how forward she was. It felt like she was slighting the queen. “I am a mated male.”
“You have needs, my lord.” She took a small step towards him and he had to work not to step back. “The queen is in no position to satisfy those needs. Not right now.”
He made a noise of frustration, one she misinterpreted as need.
“I’m ready for you.” He could scent her arousal. It irritated him. “I know you are busy, we could be done in minutes.”
“I said that I wasn’t interested.” He moved away, intent on leaving.
“That tells me different.” She pointed at the bulge in his pants. The one he sported since leaving Tanya. A hand job just wasn’t the same as the real thing. Even if he had watched Tanya find her pleasure while fisting his cock. It might have been the next best thing to full blown sex but it still wasn’t nearly enough. He would fucking deal. There would be no female taking his Ysnaar’s place. Not now and not ever.
“My dick being hard has nothing to do with you.” He decided to be blunt. “My female is the cause and my female will ease me.”
She giggled. “Why are you walking in the opposite direction to her chamber then?” There was no malice in her voice. She was simply stating the obvious. “Have you told your queen that you are permitted to take other females while she enters her final stages of pregnancy?”
Zane shook his head. “That is none of your business.”
“Oh, my king.” She tsk’d. “Both you and Brant are too virile to abstain for any length of time. You are alpha males of the highest order. Vampire royalty. There is just no way.”
Gritting his teeth, Zane had to work hard to keep the growl from his voice. “We will not need to abstain. Our human is strong…”
Again, the female laughed, cocking her head to the side as she looked up at him. “You know where to find me when you change your mind. Your sentiment is sweet but not sustainable.” She shook her head. “I am not an emotional female. I understand that you love your human. If you need a warm body, I am more than willing.” She winked at him. “You need to let your human know what the rules are, before she finds out from someone else. You would be well within your rights to take me up on my offer. To take any of the many unmated females to your bed. This will be the first of many offers, and you know it. Speak with our queen. If she loves you and puts your needs first, she will understand. I sincerely hope that she will be respectful of our vampire ways. Respectful of both you and King Brant, my lord.” She briefly bowed her head before flashing him a smile which exposed a long, ivory fang. Turning on her heel, the female left before he could set the record straight.
Zane cursed under his breath.

Chosen by the Vampire Kings: BBW Serial Part 1-6
This bestselling serial should have been read first. If you somehow missed out, start with Part 1 Mate's Lore or with the complete 6 part bundle
Every hundred years, tradition dictates that all eligible females in Sweetwater assemble for the choosing ceremony. Two vampire kings have separate territories within the surrounding countryside. Both are eager to pick their future brides.
What a waste of her freaking time.
Tanya is among the many women at the choosing ceremony. As far as she’s concerned it’s an outdated, sexist event and if it wasn’t mandatory she so wouldn’t be here. It’s not important that the two males are ridiculously rich and handsome.
Deep down she knows a plain Jane like her will never be picked by one of the kings anyway. Many of the women in the town square are stunningly beautiful and model thin. Most seem enthusiastic about being a queen even if it means being mated to a blood sucker, which suits her just fine.
Imagine her surprise though when King Brant sets his sights firmly on her. Once a vampire king has decided, there’s no going back. But her home is in Sweetwater. Being forced to live amongst the vampire species…big gulp…forced to mate with a vampire…is not what she had in mind for herself. Maybe she can convince him to let her go, to pick again. If not, she’ll have to find a way to escape his - very muscled and rather delicious - clutches.

Excerpt
Demon Chaser Hybrid
Chapter 1
Even with her eyes shut she could still see the blood spray from the wound. Then there was the smell. A rusty stench so strong she could taste it. Deep breaths in...out and in again. She bit down hard praying that her sharp teeth would recede. Praying that control, or at least a resemblance of control, would return. The sooner the better. Her nail beds still tingled. This could only mean one thing, her hands still possessed dagger like claws. How in the hell had she gone from being a preschool teacher to this?
A monster. A killer. Far worse.
Deep down she was still the same person. She was still Brice Darkstead. She still had a family who loved her and friends who cared. Although it felt like that part of her life had ended a million years ago.
It wasn’t easy, but she continued to try to control her breathing. Her breaths were still fast and choppy. She needed to slow down, which was hard since the thing inside her loved the violence. It hummed with the sheer ecstasy of having made a potential kill.
Her victim moaned. The desperate sound clawed at her and she hissed. The thing wanted at him, it wanted to finish the job. It became even more ecstatic at the prospect of his pending death.
Another agonising moan, it took a moment to realise that the sound had come from her this time. She felt desperate. He was just an old man for God’s sake; he hadn’t meant to startle her and meant her no harm. He did not deserve to die. If the thing didn’t settle down soon, she would claw out her own throat to stop it. All this running and hiding, as well as the dirt and filth, was getting to her. This was no life and there wasn’t much to lose.
Heaven help her.
“No..,” she moaned this time more loudly, having to work that much harder to keep herself under control. She lifted her right hand to her neck, preparing to do what she needed to stop herself from killing the man. She felt such sorrow at the prospect of ending her life like this, but what choice did she have? The thing inside her pulled back instantly. It was still very much there though, like a house full of explosives on a sweltering day, anything liable to set it off. Her mind was still clouded with thoughts of death but at least the capability to think beyond the murder of an innocent man returned as the thing withdrew.
Brice risked opening her eyes while still making every effort to breathe slowly.
“Please,” the old man croaked. He watched her through terrified eyes. His shirt was torn and bloody, his chest a criss-cross of angry red slashes. She breathed out a sigh of relief, he would live.
“I’m sorry.” She scurried back, standing once she was a small distance away.
A Good Samaritan had tossed her a few coins this morning. Although she’d planned on buying a chocolate bar, those plans had changed. She’d use the money to call for help instead. There was a pay phone a few blocks away. She remembered seeing it because she had wondered if anyone still used a pay phone these days.
As she made her way through the streets, Brice prayed that no one would try to jump her. Usually by this time of night she would be holed up and well hidden behind a dumpster, or under boxes in one of the side alleys. After living on the streets the last few months, she’d learned where the safest places were. She may as well have a neon sign attached to her forehead right now though, because wandering around like this would draw the attention of all the lowlifes and cops within a hundred miles, or at least that’s how she felt. She knew with absolute certainty that if either crossed paths with her at this moment, it would mean their certain death. She didn’t want any more blood on her hands, so she stuck to the shadows.
Her whole body shook as she picked up the phone and inserted the coins. She kept the message short, relaying where the old beggar could be found and hung up. Now to high tail it out of here. She knew of a safe place nearby. Another long, sleepless night lay ahead. There would be no rest for her ever again.
Chapter 2
Garrett felt the edge of his mind prickle.
He knew the feeling well, the sign of an oncoming premonition. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, he allowed himself to be drawn in. At least that way the whole process was painless and would be over much quicker. There was no point in fighting the inevitable.
Still, he didn’t have to like it.
As soon as traffic allowed, he pulled over onto a quiet side street, switched off the engine, and closed his eyes. The sensations increased. It felt like a hand was kneading his brain. Pulling, tugging. Forceful and determined, the vision would demand freedom if it had to. Images flooded his mind, images of a woman, long chocolate locks in a wild tangle around a startlingly attractive face, her full lips parted in…pleasure. His view expanded and his cock swelled.
The woman was naked and beautiful.
Slim with breasts that would fit a man’s hands. Only just. She seemed to be straddling someone. Heaven help him, but the way she moved and arched her back had his balls tightening. His gaze was first drawn to her eyes, glazed and hooded with desire, then down to her nipples, tight, begging for attention. On and on she rocked before flinging her head back in a silent moan. So sensuous, he had to grab hold of his cock and squeeze to try and stop himself from shooting off.
His visions were always vivid, but he never felt them this bone-deep. This was like living the moment instead of watching from the outside. The stranger rocked harder, faster. He could sense she was about to come hard. Damn, but so was he. Garrett clamped down harder trying to stop the build. He fought for control. The view expanded more. It was of her lover from behind. Lucky bastard. The man lifted his hands and palmed her breasts, raking his thumbs over her nipples. The sensation of holding those full orbs, touching her hard nubs, filtered through to his own hands and he moaned, unable to stop himself.
Garrett was losing this battle. Any second now and he was going to come. Right here. Right now. Right into his pants, like a school boy for God’s sake, and he was helpless to stop it. This beautiful woman, who smelt of reckless abandon and embodied every fantasy he had ever had, was pulling him over the edge. This wasn’t even reality even though it sure felt like it. She threw her head back and the view expanded some more. He noticed two things at once. Both shocked him intensely.
