Mercy of These Bones

Four years ago, Mathias Larsen broke siring laws to save a lover’s life. Four months ago, that lover turned on him, leaving him for dead. Now Mathias has followed her path of death to Las Vegas, straight to the last vampire who wants to see him: his sire. The man he left for a woman who stabbed him in the back. Edmund has found love again with a nightclub owner, the very human Darby Bell. He doesn’t want to believe Mathias’s warnings, but a murder that hits too close to home gives him no choice. While he struggles to keep Mathias and Darby safe, emotions run high as old love collides with new. But the clock is ticking. The vampire Assembly is coming to town, the local police are alerted to Mathias’s nocturnal activities, and passions are flaring high. Time is running out. By the time death strikes again, all bets are off.

Chapter 10

Though his cock was still hard and his mind filled with images of Darby’s succulent curves and fiery hair, Mathias hesitated. He was actually nervous about this. For four long, glorious years, the only woman who’d captivated him was Tatiana, and she’d repaid his devotion by trying—inexplicably—to kill him. Now, there was another, different from Tati in so many ways, enticing him to forget logic, forget his plan, forgo what he knew for a few moments of bliss. How could he know whether following an attraction wouldn’t lead to another disaster?

He curled his fingers into a fist around his keys. This was different. He wanted to fuck Darby Bell, not share eternity with her. She was just a means to an end.

To Edmund.
