Ready for a sneak peek at Book 2 in the Agents of A.S.S.E.T. series?
Sample Chapter.
Zack launched himself forward with impossible
speed, closing the gap between them before she could register the movement. His
hand found her mouth, preventing her shocked gasp from escaping. Zack stood nose-to-nose
with her, so close she could feel the heat from his breath. “Sweet girl. So
naïve to the dangers surrounding you; innocent to the true nature of the world.”
His eyes grew darker, choking out all of the color that gave them their unnatural
beauty. All predator, ready to strike, he pinned her against the apartment
door. “Words lose their meaning with creatures like you. Headstrong. Impulsive...
The only thing you learn from is failure.” The timbre of his voice deepened;
his breathing slowed to a determined rhythm of raw desire. “A tempting target, giftwrapped
for anyone willing to snatch you up.”
Zack let his hand fall from her
mouth but kept her pinned to the door with his body. Close as he was, his eyes
weren’t the only thing Sage focused on.
Those teeth.
Sharp as daggers. She’d experienced
the sting of a vampire’s fangs once before, and that memory made her scars
itch. “You’re acting like a real jerk right now, Zack.”
“I know.” He flashed those teeth at
her again. “And don’t think I can’t hear how excited it makes you. Admit it.
You’re more than a little turned on right now.”
A knot formed in her throat. She
swallowed hard, forcing it down so she could speak. “Excited is not the word I
would have chosen.” Her voice cracked, betraying the panic she was so desperate
to hide. This wasn’t the Zack she knew; he’d morphed into something dangerous, and
she couldn’t tell how real his threats were.
“Pick a word then,” he taunted. “Make
it a good one.”
“Stop.” She pushed against him, but
found his body an immovable wall. “You’re creeping me out.”
“Fear, is it?” Zack laughed coldly.
“Good. You should be afraid. Most don’t survive being bitten.” His breath blew
against her skin, surprisingly warm, but the effect chilled her blood.
“The last one who bit me didn’t
survive.” She attempted again to mask the tremble of her voice with the threat.
“Grey, your great protector, was
there to save the day. Where is he now?” Zack’s words struck her like a slap to
the face, but before she could respond, he bent his head to the crook of her
neck.
She cringed, expecting pain that
did not come.
“I could have you right now.” Zack’s
lips hovered, tantalizingly close to her throbbing pulse. He inhaled slowly as
if savoring every note of her scent. “But the real question is, could you” – He
lifted his head and met her eyes once more – “would you try and stop me?”
Zack’s words implied so much more
than a simple threat. …. She couldn’t let that happen. But, being pinned against
the door severely limited her options. Sage scrambled for the right words to
stall long enough to find a way out. “I thought Terras were an acquired taste?”
She reached down, toward her pocket.
Before she could dig for the knife
she kept folded there, his knee came up, forcing her legs apart, and he growled
possessively in her ear.
“One taste of you was such a tease.
I need more.”
More than just a bad boy, Zack was
pure sin wrapped in a taut body with maybe centuries of experience. A very
small part of her, welcomed the excitement, but self-preservation trumped
desire. “Get used to disappointment!”
He nuzzled her neck and pecked a
kiss at her racing pulse. “Don’t pretend you aren’t thinking about it. I can
smell your arousal. I can see the way you look at me.”
Her legs nearly went out from under
her.
“You’re going to get yourself
killed. I would be disappointed if someone else got to the prize before me.” Zack
pulled back enough to meet her eyes again. “Rather than fall victim to the
wrong sort,” he whispered, “let me have you.”
