Primal Heat 1 (11 page)
Authors: A. C. Arthur
Eli caught himself mimicking the motion, air moving in and out through his lungs so that his chest moved in sync with the hybrid. Then the sirens sounded, screams erupted, and Eli turned back to see humans bursting through the doors.
“Shit!” he yelled and ran toward the hotel.
“Clean that up!” he shouted back to the Sanchez brothers, not wanting anyone to see what was left on the street. He wondered if there’d been any witnesses of the fight with the hybrid in the first place. He hadn’t thought for one second about spectators, only concentrating on dispatching the monstrosity before it could hurt any humans or shifters. Now, he raced toward the building praying that everyone was safe, and for the first time in he had no idea how many minutes, remembered he’d left Nivea inside.

A.C. Arthur
was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where she currently lives with her husband and three children. An active imagination and a love for reading encouraged her to begin writing in high school and she hasn’t stopped since. Her debut novel
Object of His Desire
was written when a picture of an Italian villa sparked the idea of an African-American/Italian hero. Determined to bring a new edge to romance, she continues to develop intriguing plots, sensual love scenes, racy characters, and fresh dialogue—thus keeping the readers on their toes! Visit her at:
