Excerpt

Rico bit back a laugh. She clearly expected him to jump on her at any moment and latch onto that pretty neck. Not that the idea hadn’t occurred to him. With that thought, he had to push down the hunger. He didn’t want to scare her.

Well not just yet. He always found a little fear spiced up the blood.

It had been a long time since he’d wanted something this much. Maybe it was because she was an interesting combination of toughness and vulnerability. Earlier, he’d sensed her attraction and her confusion. She obviously wasn’t used to either feeling, and that intrigued him.

An impossible job and an intriguing woman—what more could a man ask for?

He unbuckled the strap that held his back scabbard and pulled it off, placing the sword on the floor.

Skylar stared at him suspiciously.

“Just getting comfortable,” he said.

He reached into his pocket and drew out a silver flask, held it up to her, and shook it so the liquid inside sloshed from side to side.

“Oh,” she muttered.

“You sound almost disappointed.”

She frowned. “Of course not.”

He pulled two glasses from the cabinet above the desk and poured them both a shot. Picking up his, he gestured to Skylar to do the same. She inspected the amber liquid as though she suspected it might be poison but lifted the glass to her lips and took a small sip. She blinked and put the glass down, her eyes watering.

“What is that stuff?” There was a slight catch in her voice.

“Whiskey,” he said. “An old Earth drink. I get it made specially.”

He drained his glass and poured himself a second. Sinking onto the sofa opposite her, he watched as she took another tentative sip and licked a bead of whiskey from her lips. His gaze fixed on her mouth as the hunger stirred inside him. Leaning closer, he breathed in the scent of warm woman. “Tell me all about yourself, Skylar Rossaria.”

Scavenger Hunt Quote: “I’d bet my right fang she’s more at home with a gun than a lipstick.”
