Shit. She had to feed him. Now. Eve brought her wrist to her mouth and sank in her fangs. Crimson fluid erupted from her artery, and she leaned over, placing the wound to his mouth. The scarlet liquid coated his lips. Eve tugged on his lower jaw, creating a small opening for her blood to enter.
“Come on, Guerin,” she demanded. “Swallow.”
Eve cupped his nape, tilting his head back up slightly so he wouldn’t choke. “Feed!” A steady stream of her essence trickled down his chin and pooled on the sheets below. “Your Mistress commands you to feed!” she shouted. Suddenly Guerin coughed, then gulped. Eve gasped. Shit, how long had it been since she’d last taken a breath?
The razor-sharp tips of his fangs stabbed into her wrist. Eve gritted her teeth under the impact. Guerin clamped down hard, drinking in greedy swallows. Her womb tightened, shooting an erotic wave of desire into her clitoris. A tremble rolled over her.
“I love you. More than you can ever imagine,” Guerin whispered, but the words were a caress inside her mind.
“I love you too.” Eve ran her fingers through the dark waves of his hair. His tongue brushed over the punctures to her wrist, and he looked up.
“I’m so glad I found you,” he said.
“Me too,” she whispered.
“I hope this birthday was all you dreamed, beautiful.” Guerin smiled.
“More than you know.” She lifted his chin with her finger for a kiss. “Because my birthday wish was you.”

About the Author
Almost every author’s bio states they’ve been writing since they learned how to read. It’s what they’ve always wanted to do. Well, my journey wasn’t so straight and narrow. I was a nurse for more than twenty years and hold a bachelor’s degree in science with a major in biology. So as you can see, my career path had originally gone in the opposite direction. I didn’t discover my passion for the craft until after I’d had my son and decided to work part-time. I’ve always loved to read but had never read a paranormal romance. Then one night at work on break, I began reading Karen Marie Moning’s Spell of the Highlander. I couldn’t believe what I’d been missing, and I immediately fell in love with the genre. I wanted to write like that. I wanted to create worlds where others could fi nd the same escape and fascination I did when I read my first sensual paranormal romance. And I hope that’s what I’ve accomplished in my work. Please dive in, hold on tight, and enjoy the adventure. Just be careful in the dark—you might find more than you expected waiting for you there.
