Not Just an Orgy (3 page)
Authors: Sally Painter
“If I know your partner, he’s rushing to upload it on your rag’s website as we speak.”
“I-I’ll call him.”
“No need. I sent someone over to his condo to make sure he didn’t.”
“He won’t be hurt, will he?”
“Really, Alexia.
You just made love to me and still you ask that?”
“Most men—”
“But I’m more than a man, my love. You don’t understand just yet, but you will. And when you do, the last thing you’ll want is to expose yourself or me to the world.”
“I-I don’t know what you mean.”
“I’m afraid I’m
enamored
of you, Alexia. I can’t let you go.
Ever.
I hope you won’t think of tonight as what your curiosity cost you but more of the moment you found me. What we have discovered tonight is more than lust.
More than want.
It’s the kind of feelings one only has for a mate.”
“Mate?”
She stiffened in his arms, but he tightened them around her. “I don’t understand, Haden.”
“Relax, my love.” He nuzzled her neck. The sensation of his lips sucking tender flesh between them catapulted her back to high school memories. He was going to give her a hickey for a memento of this night? Her mind rejected the thought when his teeth clamped down on her neck followed by intense pain mixed with intense sensual pleasure.
“H-Haden…” She felt spellbound by the delightful sensations tingling through her. Yet somewhere in the recesses of numbness, she mentally wrote the headline she would never print.
“Haden Tate’s secret isn’t the orgies he hosts in the secret room called
The Sanctuary.”
Her heart pounded harder and she felt the life force draining from her.
“Haden Tate’s secret is darker and more unbelievable because this sophisticated entrepreneur is a vampire!”
She whimpered.
“That’s right, Alexia, my newfound love. I am vampire. And I can offer you eternal bliss.
Forever.
“Oh, Haden.”
She wanted to know what it felt like to be his and arched her neck to give him greater access.
His lips tightened around her flesh. Heat quickened in her blood. She wanted more. She wanted everything he had to give her.
“My
love,
let me take you completely.” His words were muffled against her neck.
“Yes, Haden,” she whispered. “I want you. All of you.”
About the Author
When an astrologer told Sally, “Beneath that smart business suit you’re wearing beats the heart of a Hussy,” she was inspired!
Born in the South and into an Irish/Scottish family meant storytelling was a natural part of her life, especially the ghost stories of her state. From an early age she had many encounters with real ghosts and, years later, was invited to participate in a three-year paranormal project. Sally went on to host a monthly paranormal workshop and paranormal radio talk show.
Nowadays, when not writing hot sexy gargoyles, vampires and futuristic hunks, she takes off on a new adventure with her soul mate husband, enjoys her family and hangs out with friends.
