Snippet 2 Of EKOD

Here's another snippet as promised! Enjoy:



“Yes, please!” 

The cry yanked Mencheres out of his musings. Gods, he’d been caressing Selene and unconsciously sending out strands of his power to stroke and stimulate her nerve endings. How could he have gotten so lost in his thoughts of Kira that he’d forgotten he still held Selene in his arms? 

Mencheres pulled back his power and set Selene away from him. 

“I’ve taken all I need,” he told her.

Her eyes opened as she pressed against him. “Let me give you more than blood,” she offered in a husky voice.

“No,” Mencheres replied. Selene was beautiful, willing, and desirable, yet he didn’t want her.


Kira’s face flickered in his mind, but he wiped her image away before he allowed himself to dwell on it. 

“No,” he repeated to Selene in a tone that brooked no argument. 

She left after one last lingering look that he pretended not to notice. Selene, like all the others, didn’t only want him. She also wanted the power, security, and supernatural pleasure he could give, but somehow, that was no longer an acceptable trade. 

Selene had only been gone a few minutes before Gorgon, the only vampire Mencheres brought with him to this house, came into the library. 

“Sire,” Gorgon said. “We have a situation with the human you brought home this morning.”

Mencheres rose, already striding up the stairs to Kira’s room, when Gorgon’s voice stopped him.

“Ah, sire? You might want to go outside instead.”

The Night Huntress World 2: Eternal Kiss of Darkness

Here's one of my favorite series by one of my favorite author Ms. Jeaniene Frost very soon to be released July 27, 2010.  Hope we'll have it soon here in the Philippines as well.  A bit of background to those who haven't read any of the books by Ms. Frost:  Night Huntress World is a spin-off from her best-seller sizzling hot urban fantasy series The Night Huntress.  You need not read TNH before plunging in to The Night Huntress World series but it'll definitely give you perspective and character build-up for the TNHW and of course, the TNH is definitely a must-read for Urban Fantasy lovers!
Ms Frost has generously shared some snippets from the book2 of TNHW: Eternal Kiss of Darkness.  The story of Mencheres and Kira:

When the vampire burst from the water to crouch over her, Kira’s first thought had been, uh oh. She hadn’t even seen him move before he was upon her, black eyes blazing with warning, water dripping down onto her. That single finger to her lips felt like a mini hammer, and Kira reminded herself that on the food chain, he was a predator and she was prey. He really doesn’t like this topic, so I’ll shut up now, had been her very logical decision.

Then she looked down – and forgot what she’d started to ask him about. Beads of water caressed the hardest, tightest body she’d ever seen. Mencheres’s chest, arms, and stomach were corded with an intricate pattern of muscles that seemed too flawless to be real. His lightly-tinted skin only emphasized how black his hair was, dripping in dark rivers past his shoulders. Her gaze swept lower, revealing that his legs were as deliciously sculpted as the rest of him. Nothing interrupted her view of his taut, rippled flesh, either, because Mencheres had been swimming naked. Kira was surprised to see that he was hairless everywhere, even between his thighs…

Her eyes fastened there, widening. Oh. My. If the vampire didn’t still have a finger to her lips, she would have licked them in reflex.


Here's a naughty pic from Ms Frost, aptly depicting Mencheres by the pool:

Me, my reaction was just..OMG! and stared at it with bugged eyes :-O
