What would it be like kissing him? Would his fangs be sharp?
How would they feel under her tongue?
“I can smell your arousal,” he confessed. He looked over at her and the desire she saw burning in his eyes sucked all the air from her lungs.
She pulled self-consciously at her cloak, suddenly aware of how old and drab it must appear. As a lowly slave, she had always dressed as plain as possible so not to draw attention to herself. She had seen too many times what happened to 253
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
beautiful female slaves. The fact Thren was looking at her with such want was surprising and nice.
She had the urge to run her fingers through his hair to see if it felt as silky as it looked. To run her tongue along the column of his throat to see if his flesh tasted as warm and spicy as it promised. To touch his lips to see if his kiss would be as thrilling as she expected.
“You’re still doing it.” He shifted in his seat and she noticed, for the first time, the huge erection pressed against his black jeans.
“I know I am.” She licked her lips again as desire coursed through her.
“I’m the last one you should be making doe eyes at.” He curled his lip up and she caught a glimpse of one of his fangs.
It should have terrified her, but instead it made her wet between the thighs. “What I should do is find the nearest angel warrior team and drop you off with your own kind.”
“I don’t want to be with the angels.” She took a deep steadying breath. “I want to be with you.” There was a large pause and her heart pounded in time with every second that ticked away. What had she been thinking? He was a viral, hot male and she was a mousy, orphaned, slave. Like he would want anything to do with her.
“If I take you home, I don’t think I will be able to keep my hands off you. It’s all I can do now not to pull this car over, grab you and kiss you.”
Her skin tingled with excitement. “I could think of worse things to do on the side of the road.”
A low chuckle rumbled from his chest. It was deep and seductive, like his voice. “We’re almost home. I think we can wait until then.”
They went silent as he navigated down several dirt roads.
He pulled up to the front of an old farmhouse and turned the car off. He kept his gaze directed straight forward, his hands still gripped the wheel like he was hanging on for dear life.
“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to in order for me to help you and Cabian. Don’t think you have to sacrifice 254
Sanguinary Seductions
yourself. I promise you my sword arm regardless of what happens between us.”
Oh wow, this guy could make ice into puddles with words like that. She hesitantly reached out and cupped his cheek.
When he didn’t pull back, she felt a small thrill of victory. “I knew as soon as I saw you that you were good. After five years as a slave, I’ve had to learn how to go by my first impressions of others and I knew I was right about you.” He inched his face closer to hers and she tipped her chin up so their lips were mere inches apart. He smelled dark and erotic.
“As soon as I became demon, I wanted it back,” he confessed in a ragged voice. “Since that day, I have tried to redeem myself.”
“That doesn’t matter to me,” she argued. One hand gripped his forearm, the other had somehow found its way to his knee.
“It matters to me that you know I’m not proud of my past actions. I gave into the evil part of me in a moment of weakness. My angel warrior team had been destroyed and I foolishly thought that by becoming demon I could become more powerful and truly avenge them.”
“You are neither evil nor weak.”
The cat-like irises in his eyes dilated with passion before he moaned and captured her mouth in a scorching kiss. Holy moly, could he kiss, too. His lips were gentle and demanding at the same time and he tasted of taboo desires. His tongue swept into her mouth and she let out a sigh of pleasure before slipping her tongue into his mouth. When she came into contact with his fangs, she couldn’t help but stoke them. His groan of appreciation was her reward.
Encouraged by his response, she allowed her hand to travel up his thigh until it was just below his erection. A gasp of surprise burst from her lips when his hand slammed on top of hers. At first she thought he was going to push her away, instead he guided it to his cock and started to guide her fingers in rubbing him through the heavy denim material of his pants.
“You’re dangerous, you know that don’t you?” he whispered hotly in her ear before he started to trail kisses down 255
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
her neck. She wondered if he was about to bite her, but he just settled for harmless love nibbles instead.
He paused at that cursed collar. “I’m sorry.” His breaths came out harsh and she was pleased to see she had that affect on him. “I’m ravishing you and you haven’t even had a chance to change and clean up. You must be starving, too.”
She was hungry, but not for food. She gave his cock another generous squeeze and chuckled when he sucked in his breath in response. “I have nothing to change into.”
A low growl rumbled from his chest. “I don’t think you being nude is going to be a problem.” He opened the car door.
“Let’s get you inside.”
She followed him into the old farmhouse. The inside was worn, but homey looking. All the floors were hardwood with throw rugs scattered throughout and the furniture was made for comfort rather than style. “This isn’t what I expected,” she admitted.
“What? Did you expect a stone castle for the Reluctant Incubus?” He grinned and waggled his fingers at her.
She laughed openly for the first time in years. Thren was so easy to be around he made her feel accepted and safe. Her heart thumped in apprehension. What was she going to do if he decided that he didn’t want to help them after all and she had to part ways with him? Even though she’d just met him, the thought of never seeing him again hurt more than she wanted to admit. “Are you going to show me where the shower is?” she asked.
“It’s upstairs and to the left.” He gave her a cheeky grin. “I would take you there myself, but if I get you anywhere near my bedroom, you won’t make it to the shower.”
“Oh.” She bit her bottom lip to hold back a grin of her own. The thought of rolling around and getting tangled in the sheets of his bed sounded inviting. “And I suppose that would be a bad thing?”
He leaned down until his lips were inches from her ear. His hot breath fluttered against her sensitive flesh and she swayed as a moan slipped from her mouth. “Go take your shower, 256
Sanguinary Seductions
angel. I’ll be waiting for you down here.” There was the lightest of touches as he feathered a kiss on the shell of her ear and she shivered in response. Then he turned and walked out of the room.
* * * *
Thren put the bowel of hot soup on the tray and tried hard not to think about the fact Brenna was naked, wet and just up the stairs. It was all he could do not to run up there and help her scrub her back, but he wanted to give her some space. He leaned back and thought about the events that had taken place this evening, awed at how quickly his life changed.
When he left for the bar earlier, he’d been a lonely, but he still didn’t have a desire to be around anyone. Now he had a female angel in his shower, he was actually cooking for her all the while, trying to figure out a way to convince her to stay with him forever and not as a fellow warrior, but as his lover.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I borrowed one of your shirts.”
The sight of her took his breath away. A pure vision of beauty, clad only in one of his white t-shirts and her slightly damp, curly hair, she was the best thing he’d ever seen in his immortal life. She stood in the doorway to the kitchen, one hand on either side of the frame. Light from the hallway silhouetted her body through the thin fabric. He could make out every curve and dip, from the swell of her breasts to the apex of her thighs. “I don’t mind at all.” His voice was harsh with need. “It looks way better on you.”
Moving with the grace of a jungle cat, she sashayed over until she was between him and the kitchen counter. The sweet scent of vanilla mixed with desire hit him like a ton of bricks.
He still somehow managed to maintain control and not reach for her. She seemed to enjoy leading the game so he would let her do so. For now. “I made you some dinner.” He pointed to the tray.
She gently pushed it away, never taking her heated gaze off 257
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
him. “It looks yummy, but I want to nibble on something else first.”
Oh crap, what had he missed? Maybe some bread, a salad, some cookies? She gave him a soft kiss before she slid down to her knees and zipped open his pants. Oh, that. Some incubus you are, a blatant sexual innuendo and it goes right over your head.
“Oh, commando,” she cooed as she released his cock and began to stroke it. “I shouldn’t have expected less from my sex demon.”
Before he could fire off a comment of his own, she took him into her mouth. Her plump lips wrapped around his cock as she gently sucked and he hissed in response, sounding like the demon he was. He didn’t give a damn though, because she didn’t give a damn. This sweet angel was loving him despite what he was. He buried one hand in her silky hair and used the other to hold onto the counter top for support.
“That’s it, baby, take it all in,” he urged as he pumped his hips forward. She obeyed before pulling back to swirl her tongue around the tip of him. Brenna tortured him when she ran her tongue again over him, once, twice, three times before she took him back into her mouth, the warm heat almost sending him over the edge. “You keep this up and you’re going to end things too soon,” he warned. His balls grew tight and they screamed for release, but he held back.
She gave his sensitive underside one long lick. “That’s bull and we both know it. You’re an incubus so as soon as you come you’ll be ready for another round.”
“Fuck, Brenna. I want to come inside you.”
“And you will.” She pumped his cock with her hand and he jerked with desire. “Later. Now I want you to finish in my mouth. I want to taste you.”
After she made that declaration, she started to suck him again and this time he didn’t hold himself back. It took only a few more moments before he shuddered and released himself into her mouth. She took in everything he gave her and he stoked her hair through it all. When he was spent, she looked up from under her dark lashes and licked her moist lips.
258

With a primitive growl, he grabbed her from under her arms and lifted her onto the counter. A small gasp of surprise slipped past her mouth as he dropped to his knees and spread her thighs apart. When he saw she wasn’t wearing any panties, he let out a low groan of approval. “You’re so beautiful.” He feathered a kiss on the inside of one of her quivering thighs.
“Thren.” She arched forward and he could see the dusky outline of her nipples pressed against the fabric of the shirt.
“Fingers or mouth?” he asked.
“What?”
“Do you want me to fuck you with my fingers or my mouth, Brenna?” He licked the succulent flesh of her inner thigh, the urge to bite her was so strong that he couldn’t resist slightly pricking the skin with a fang. One scarlet droplet of blood appeared on her milky flesh.
“Can’t I have both?
“You’re a greedy little thing, aren’t you?” He pumped one finger in her before he licked the droplet of blood off her. His body sang as soon as the sweet taste of angel’s blood entered it.
“When it comes to you, yes.” She gyrated her hips against his hand.
He pulled out his finger and replaced it with two, her tight, hot sheath stretching to accommodate him. It was all he could do not to stand up and bury his cock inside her and start pounding, but he wanted to savor this first time with her. Her juices coated his fingers and his mouth watered at the thought of tasting her. “Spread your legs further for me.”
She instantly obeyed.
The movement caused her plump breasts to thrust further out and Thren growled at the sight. He would taste those too, before the night was out. As soon as his tongue caressed her clit, she let out a shriek of pleasure. So he did it again, all the while he continued to pump his fingers in and out of her. She tasted of honey and peaches and it was the best meal he’d ever had. There was no way he could ever get tired of this.
“Thren, don’t stop.” Brenna’s eyes were closed and her 259
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
cheeks pink with passion.
For as long as he lived, he would cherish that image.
“Never,” he surprised himself with the promise. “I’ll never stop loving you.” They both stilled a minute after his slip. He thought she was going to push away from him and run out the door.
Instead, she looked down at him, her eyes wet with tears. “I think I would like that.”
A thrill of joy went through him and he allowed himself a smile before he returned to her slick folds. Brenna let out a long moan as she grabbed two handfuls of his hair and pulled.
The pain brought his own arousal up a spike and his cock grew hard again. Brenna had been right when she’s said incubi had stamina. She wasn’t shy, letting him know with tugs of his hair or gasps of pleasure what she liked and, before long, he’d brought her to orgasm.
She screamed out his name as her thighs tightened around his head. He showed her no mercy, sucking, licking and biting until every last bit of pleasure was wrenched from her body.
With one last kiss, he stood up and faced her. His stomach lurched when he noticed she still wore the slave collar.
“Why haven’t you taken this off?” He frowned as he fingered the black leather collar. There was a metal loop in the front and he grew angry at the thought of them using it to chain her to a wall.
Fear marred her perfect features, making her look younger than she really was. “If a slave takes off their collar the punishment is death.”
He reached under her hair and unbuckled the wretched thing. “As long as I live, you will never be a slave again.” When he slipped it off her slender neck and threw to the side, he felt a slight tremor go through her body. He gently cupped her chin and gazed into her eyes. She may be a warrior, but that didn’t mean she didn’t need protecting, too. “Nobody will ever hurt you again and live to tell about it. I vow this to you.”
“Make love to me, Thren.”
Well, that was something that didn’t need to be asked twice.

He scooped her up in his arms and carried her up to his bed.
The entire way there, she lightly nuzzled his neck and whispered love words into his ear. Once they got there, he gently tossed her on top of the patchwork quilt that covered his bed and started to shed his clothes. It took him longer than her, since he had to undo his boots, but soon they were both naked and ready.
She opened her arms to him. “Make me yours, Thren.”
With an alpha growl, he crawled onto the bed and settled his body between her thighs. His cock bumped her entrance, but he didn’t plunge into her moist heat yet. “This is just not sex,” he said. “Tell me you know that.”
“Yes, I know.” She lifted her hips up and he sucked in a breath as her wetness touched him.
“I won’t let you go after this,” he warned.
“What makes you think I’ll let you go,” she challenged back as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
With one smooth thrust, he entered her, her body fitting him like a tight glove.
Brenna dug her nails into his back and urged him on.
“More. Harder.”
He bared his fangs with a hiss. “I don’t want you to see that part of me.”
She thrust her pelvis, driving him deeper inside her. “Don’t you get it? I want all of you, the good and the bad. Take me.”
She tilted her head to the side, offering up the temptation of her neck. “All of me.”
A groan slipped out of him. He was fighting a losing battle and they both knew it. He pulled back before he slammed into her again, at the same time leaning down to sink his fangs into her tender flesh. As soon as her sweet blood filled his mouth, it was as if a thousand volts of energy zapped him. He’d denied himself fresh blood for so long, he forgot how good it was. To add to it, it was hers. His angel’s. His mate. His life.
He timed his thrusts with the gentle sucks on her throat and soon she screamed his name again. Before she could come, Thren rolled over, taking her with him. Her huge eyes grew 261
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
larger when she realized she was now on top and in control.
Brenna’s perfect round breast beckoned and he couldn’t resist running his callused thumbs over the berry red nipples.
She arched against his touch with a whimper of pleasure.
“You’re so beautiful,” he marveled. For some odd reason, she had chosen to give herself to him, too.
She started to ride him, slowly at first and then faster and faster as both their desire crested. Her long hair tailed down the elegant slope of her back making for the perfect erotic image. Thren grabbed her ass cheeks and urged her on as sweat made their bodies slick. The only thing that marred her perfection was the twin pinpricks from his fangs. But for the first time ever, the sight of them didn’t upset him because they marked her as his.
She threw back her head as a final orgasm claimed her and he joined her, releasing his seed inside her. Wave after wave of pleasure rocked through him and, the entire time, he held her in his arms, her sweet touch making him feel whole again.
After it was over, she collapsed onto his chest, like she didn’t have any bones left in her body. He ran his finger up and down her spine as he savored the feeling of her warm flesh against his.
“I meant it,” he whispered, once he’d regained his breath.
How would they feel under her tongue?
“I can smell your arousal,” he confessed. He looked over at her and the desire she saw burning in his eyes sucked all the air from her lungs.
She pulled self-consciously at her cloak, suddenly aware of how old and drab it must appear. As a lowly slave, she had always dressed as plain as possible so not to draw attention to herself. She had seen too many times what happened to 253

“You’re still doing it.” He shifted in his seat and she noticed, for the first time, the huge erection pressed against his black jeans.
“I know I am.” She licked her lips again as desire coursed through her.
“I’m the last one you should be making doe eyes at.” He curled his lip up and she caught a glimpse of one of his fangs.
It should have terrified her, but instead it made her wet between the thighs. “What I should do is find the nearest angel warrior team and drop you off with your own kind.”
“I don’t want to be with the angels.” She took a deep steadying breath. “I want to be with you.” There was a large pause and her heart pounded in time with every second that ticked away. What had she been thinking? He was a viral, hot male and she was a mousy, orphaned, slave. Like he would want anything to do with her.
“If I take you home, I don’t think I will be able to keep my hands off you. It’s all I can do now not to pull this car over, grab you and kiss you.”
Her skin tingled with excitement. “I could think of worse things to do on the side of the road.”
A low chuckle rumbled from his chest. It was deep and seductive, like his voice. “We’re almost home. I think we can wait until then.”

He pulled up to the front of an old farmhouse and turned the car off. He kept his gaze directed straight forward, his hands still gripped the wheel like he was hanging on for dear life.
“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to in order for me to help you and Cabian. Don’t think you have to sacrifice 254

yourself. I promise you my sword arm regardless of what happens between us.”
Oh wow, this guy could make ice into puddles with words like that. She hesitantly reached out and cupped his cheek.

“You are neither evil nor weak.”
The cat-like irises in his eyes dilated with passion before he moaned and captured her mouth in a scorching kiss. Holy moly, could he kiss, too. His lips were gentle and demanding at the same time and he tasted of taboo desires. His tongue swept into her mouth and she let out a sigh of pleasure before slipping her tongue into his mouth. When she came into contact with his fangs, she couldn’t help but stoke them. His groan of appreciation was her reward.

Once they got there, he gently tossed her on top of the patchwork quilt that covered his bed and started to shed his clothes. It took him longer than her, since he had to undo his boots, but soon they were both naked and ready.
She opened her arms to him. “Make me yours, Thren.”
With an alpha growl, he crawled onto the bed and settled his body between her thighs. His cock bumped her entrance, but he didn’t plunge into her moist heat yet. “This is just not sex,” he said. “Tell me you know that.”
“Yes, I know.” She lifted her hips up and he sucked in a breath as her wetness touched him.
“I won’t let you go after this,” he warned.
“What makes you think I’ll let you go,” she challenged back as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
With one smooth thrust, he entered her, her body fitting him like a tight glove.
Brenna dug her nails into his back and urged him on.
“More. Harder.”
He bared his fangs with a hiss. “I don’t want you to see that part of me.”
She thrust her pelvis, driving him deeper inside her. “Don’t you get it? I want all of you, the good and the bad. Take me.”
She tilted her head to the side, offering up the temptation of her neck. “All of me.”
A groan slipped out of him. He was fighting a losing battle and they both knew it. He pulled back before he slammed into her again, at the same time leaning down to sink his fangs into her tender flesh. As soon as her sweet blood filled his mouth, it was as if a thousand volts of energy zapped him. He’d denied himself fresh blood for so long, he forgot how good it was. To add to it, it was hers. His angel’s. His mate. His life.
He timed his thrusts with the gentle sucks on her throat and soon she screamed his name again. Before she could come, Thren rolled over, taking her with him. Her huge eyes grew 261

larger when she realized she was now on top and in control.
Brenna’s perfect round breast beckoned and he couldn’t resist running his callused thumbs over the berry red nipples.
She arched against his touch with a whimper of pleasure.
“You’re so beautiful,” he marveled. For some odd reason, she had chosen to give herself to him, too.
She started to ride him, slowly at first and then faster and faster as both their desire crested. Her long hair tailed down the elegant slope of her back making for the perfect erotic image. Thren grabbed her ass cheeks and urged her on as sweat made their bodies slick. The only thing that marred her perfection was the twin pinpricks from his fangs. But for the first time ever, the sight of them didn’t upset him because they marked her as his.
She threw back her head as a final orgasm claimed her and he joined her, releasing his seed inside her. Wave after wave of pleasure rocked through him and, the entire time, he held her in his arms, her sweet touch making him feel whole again.
After it was over, she collapsed onto his chest, like she didn’t have any bones left in her body. He ran his finger up and down her spine as he savored the feeling of her warm flesh against his.
“I meant it,” he whispered, once he’d regained his breath.
