Wild After Dark

Excerpt

Vic propped himself up on his elbow and watched her sleep. As fast as she drifted off, he knew she’d been overworked. His heart ached for her. The humans had been abused for far too long.

“What are you thinking about?” Gale stretched his arm across her belly and grasped Vic’s hand. “Your mind is moving a mile a minute. I can see the steam coming out of your ears.”

Vic sighed. He loved Gale like a brother and needed the vampire involved when they made love to a woman. “I want to get her out of here. How much does it cost to take a courtesan home for the night—such as it is.” With the supernaturals in control, the world had shifted into permanent darkness. The only way to tell time was the main clock in the Governor’s palace. Sometimes, Vic couldn’t tell if it was day or night and relied on the biorhythms of his wolf to keep himself balanced.

“I’m not sure. Probably a hundred maravedi at least. Since the Governor outlawed the dollar and made the maravedi legal currency, that’s all we can use. I’ve got seventy—five if you’ve got the rest.” Gale shrugged. “I want her out of here, too. I’m sick of having to come here to be with her.”

“I’d rather make love to her than a quick fuck like the rules permit.” Vic tugged his wallet from his pocket. “Take whatever you need. You’re the smoother talker. Get us a night with her.”

“You feel that strongly about her?” Gale grinned. His eyes shone with a silver light—the color of his desire. “I hoped so, but I wasn’t going to pressure you.”

“Maybe I’m wrong, but the wolf wants her, I want her and now you do, too. Unless she tells us to fuck off, I think she’s our mate,” Vic said. He couldn’t see his life without her or Gale.

“You’re probably right.” Gale stretched, then stood. “I’ll be right back, but while I’m gone, you need to play with her.” He nodded toward the door. “I can’t see him, but I hear William coming.” He ducked out of the room, leaving Vic alone with Kitty.

Vic dipped his head once. Ah, the rules. The only reasons the patrons of the Store Front could take the humans to the private rooms were for sexual satisfaction and a food source. He glanced down at her sleeping form.

“I feel you watching me,” she murmured. Kitty opened her eyes. “Vic, what’s wrong?”

“Funny, Gale just asked me something very close to that.” He leaned over her and kissed her full on the mouth. Her sweetness washed over him and he swallowed her moan. She draped her arms around him, wriggling tighter underneath him.

She affected him like a drug. He wanted to be inside her and with her always. He rolled her on top of him. “Straddle me.”

Kitty rocked on his lap and tilted her head back. Her hair spilled down past her shoulders.
