About the book:
She’s exactly what he
needs at exactly the right time.
Juliana has worked hard to
get where she’s at. Even though she’s the daughter of the top casino tycoon in
Vegas, the road hasn’t been easy. She’s finally getting where she wants to be
with her career, when she’s abducted.
Nico, a powerful and
immortal Anathergian warrior, likes to have fun. Especially with weapons and
women. Preferably not at the same time. Life for him, and the rest of the
Anathergians, has taken a recent turn for the worse. So, Nico is relieved when
he gets assigned the case to find Juliana.
All Anathergians have
sworn to protect humans, and he’ll do just about anything to save this one.
But, he’s in for a bit of a surprise when he finally gets close to this
particular human.
ADULT EXCERPT
“Someone’s in the drive,” Gunner’s low voice filtered to him from downstairs.“Shit,” Nico whispered under his breath as he closed the closet door.He double timed it down the stairs and peeked out the front window. Larissa closed the passenger door to a sedan.“What are we gonna do?” Gunner asked.Nico thought fast. He pulled the beanie from his head and shook his long hair free.“Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, dude?” Gunner said.“Take these,” he tossed the beanie and then the diary to Gunner.Gunner peered down at the items with a blank look on his face. “What the hell am I supposed to do with these?”“Hide.”One of Gunner’s dark eyebrows raised.“Just go along with me, okay?”The man shook his head and headed to the back of the house.Nico straightened his shirt and dashed to the cushioned seat facing the front door. As he sat down, Larissa opened the front door and switched on the light to see Nico sitting there with an alluring look on his face. She jumped and screamed, bringing her hands to her face.“It’s about time you got here,” Nico said, as if he knew she had been on her way.“What in God’s name are you doing in my home?” she screeched, her face turning red.“I was waiting for you,” he said as he stood and strolled over to her. “Just kind of hoping we could finish what we started earlier today.”The woman’s blue gaze became dreamy.“Is everything all right here?” the man from the car stood on the porch.“Hey, you must be Officer…” Nico said, extending his hand.“Forge,” he answered, surveying both of them.“That’s right, Officer Forge,” Nico laughed. “I’m Nico, the consultant in charge of this case. I can get her back to Mr. and Mrs. Bertram’s when she’s done here.”The man regarded Larissa. “I’m fine,” she said.The officer nodded and returned to his car. Nico watched the vehicle back out of the driveway and make its way down the street, and then shut the door.He swiveled back to Larissa, reaching for her waist. “Now, where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?”Larissa’s red polished fingers rose to his wide shoulders. “I think we were right here.”Her lips came up hard against his. Past her shoulder, he saw Gunner peek around the corner. Nico raised his eyebrows and Gunner rolled his eyes and disappeared again.Nico broke free and, with a sly smile, took her hand and led her upstairs.They made it to the landing, and she spun him around and started unbuttoning his shirt. He walked backward to the double doors leading to the master bedroom.“I have wanted to taste you—all of you—from the first moment I laid eyes on you,” she said, her voice breathless.“Do I taste as good as you imagined?” They made their way through the doorway. He spotted Gunner spying around the top of the stairs.“I don’t know yet. I think I need to take more samples.”“Have at it,” he said with a laugh.She pushed him backward onto the bed.“Whoa,” he said. “Hold on, wildcat.”Larissa straddled him and growled like a cat and then hissed. Nico kept his smile pasted on his face.Okaaayy.On the other side of the open doorway, Gunner’s shoulders shook and he doubled over with laughter.Asshole.Nico moved his hands to her waist and started undoing her belt.Larissa bent over and ravished his mouth, invading him. She moved to his ear where her tongue slathered him. He stopped a repulsive shudder from racking his body.When his palms found her ass to bring her jeans down, he nearly sagged in relief, finally finding what he’d been searching for. He slipped her cell phone free from her back pocket. Then she sat back onto his thighs and pulled her t-shirt over her head, undid her bra clasp, and threw them both to the floor. Her breasts bounced free, and she put her hands on them and lifted them up.“Do you like?” she asked with a coy smile.Nico pushed the cell under his thigh. “Beautiful, darling.”She leaned over him so her breast hung above his face. He wrapped his left arm around her waist, yanked her closer, and took a pink nipple in his mouth. She moaned and breathed out dirty words.Nico used his right hand to pull the phone free and waved it in the air at Gunner. He searched for the man from beneath Larissa’s armpit. Gunner finally appeared in his line of vision. He bent sideways with his hand on his chin. The man nodded, his eyebrows raised, as if what he viewed wasn’t a half-bad performance.Nico, with the cell still in his outstretched hand, lifted his middle finger at him. Gunner opened his mouth in mock shock, placed a hand on his waist, and wagged his index finger at him with the other hand.I’m going to fucking kill him.Nico flicked the phone at him and Gunner caught it. With a two finger salute, he about-faced and left the room.
