As dawn grew near, Xhex wrapped up her first night back in her old boots The pace of the hours had been good, the Ping-Pong nature of dealing with a fuckload of people in an enclosed space with alcohol in the ood to be Alex Hess, head of security, once again - her own fe the humans was fake

And it was frickin&039; fantastic not having the Brotherhood breathing down her back

What was not so hot was the fact that everything felt flat, like life had been bulldozed in preparation for the paving trucks to co the bonding thing But as usual, that didn&039;t mean she wasn&039;t an outlier And botto see meh

A quick check of her watch told her there was one hour left of true darkness Man, she wished she&039;d coht and roll through the shadows at ridiculous speeds The Ducati was locked up tight in her garage, however

She wondered if there was a rule against shellans riding

Probably not As long as she was sidesaddle, dressed in ar, and had a helmet made of reinforced, skid-resistant Kevlar, they&039;d probably let her go a few circles around the fountain in front of the house

Vroo her office, she locked the thing up with her mind so she didn&039;t have to worry about keys -

"Hey, Trez," she said as her boss e to look for you"

The Shadoas tucking his crisp white shirt into his black slacks, and looking a little irls calow on her like she&039;d been hand-polished

Which was probably not far from the truth

At least her clueless expression told Xhex that Trez was keeping things on the DL But still you shouldn&039;t feed where you worked Complications could arise

"I&039;ll see you toht," the wo friends"

After the girl went out the back, Xhex looked at Trez "You should use other sources"

"It&039;s convenient and I&039;m careful"

"Not safe Besides, you could scramble her mind"

"I never use the sah about ether, they ambled down to the door the woain, as if nothing had happened since the last tiether And yet Lash had happened John had happened Theto insult you by offering to escort you hoht where they are, huh"

"Yup They fill out my pants just fine" He did open the door for her, the cold air rushing in like it was trying to get away from itself "What do you want me to tell him if he hits me up"

"That I&039; isn&039;t a probleue, the Shadow just rolled his eyes "Don&039;t waste your breath or s will be better toave hi, and stepped into the darkness

Instead of de Trade Street Everyone was in closingout their last few patrons - who looked about as attractive as n; the Tex-Mex restaurant had already battened down its hatches

Shit grew seedier as she kept going, everything getting gloo stretch of abandoned buildings With the downturn in the econo up like roadkill, and lessees were fewer and farther between -

Xhex stopped Sniffed the air Looked to the left

The unmistakable scent of male vampire wafted over from a deserted walk-up

BBFO, or Before Brotherhood Freak-out, she would have pursued it - gone in, checked to see if any of the

Now she just kept going, walking onith her head held high They didn&039;t want her help - no, that probably wasn&039;t accurate They&039;d seemed fine with her until John had had issues It was er felt comfortable with her -

Up ahead about two blocks, a ure stepped out into her path

She halted Took a deep breath Felt a prickling in her eyes

On the breeze drifting down to her, John&039;s un scent was a dark spice that wiped out the stink of the city and the wretched sting of her unhappiness

She started walking toward hi

Heas soon as he saw her pick up the pace, and they slammed into each other

Hard to knohose hter, or as the desperate one

But then, in this they were equals

Breaking the kiss, she groaned, "My cabin"

The second after he nodded, she was out of there and so was he and they re-foro inside

He fucked her standing up, against her door, in the cold

It was all so fast and frantic, her ripping her leathers down until she got one leg free, hi the buttons on his fly Then she was spread wide and locked on his hips and he was buried to the base in her core

He pounded into her so hard that her head banged on the door like she was trying to break into her own house And then he bit her on the side of the neck - but not to feed, to hold her in place He felt soher to the point where he strained her capacity She needed that At this ht, she needed him raw and unchained and a little painful

Hell, yeah, she did - and that was exactly what she got

When he ca up a storasm

And then they were in the cabin On the floor Her legs cranked apart, his mouth on her sex

With his hands cla out of his open fly, he went down on her with a furious tongue, lashing at her, penetrating her, taking what he&039;d just had

The pleasure was unbearable, a kind of agony that had her throwing back her head and contorting on the floor, her palled unsuccessfully to keep herself froh her so violently that as she shouted his nahts flickered across her vision And he didn&039;t relent in the slightest As the onslaught continued, she was pretty sure that at so, at that juncture where the thick vein went down to feed the lower half of her But there was tooto know or care

When John finally stopped and lifted his head, they were in the far corner, nearly into the living room Oh, what a picture Her lossy and puffy, his fangs so long he couldn&039;t close his jaw - and she was likerung out, her breathing ragged, her sex throbbing with its own heartbeat

He was still erect

Too bad she barely had the energy to blink - because he deserved one heck of a payback

Except he see up between her open legs, he gripped hian to stroke

With a moan, she arched and rolled her hips "Coritted teeth

John worked hi sound rising up as he puhs split wide as he shoved his knees farther apart for balance, theout in harsh relief as he went harder and faster And then he was barking soid as hot jets splashed all over her sex

Just the thought of herself wet and ht of hie onceto need an extra two hundred if she does hiotiations with the whores,certain that he was in the shadows - especially now that Throe had reached the tricky part of his being accommodated No reason for the reher

Only two of the three girls had shown up at this abandoned house down on Trade Street, but apparently nu late, she had been handed the short straw: hih - unless, of course, they intended to take a cut of the increase After all, good whores, like good soldiers, tended to look out for themselves

Abruptly, Zypher stepped into the wo, clearly prepared to use his physical assets to conserve financial ones As the vairl&039;s collarbone, she appeared to fall into a trance

It was not ames on Zypher&039;s part Females of both races couldn&039;t help themselves around him

The vampire dipped toward her ear and spoke softly Then he licked up her throat Behind him, Throe was as he alas, silent, watchful, patient Waiting his turn

Ever the gentlemale
