Kael McQuillan, Warrior King of the Vampires, loathes the Night of the Proffering.

Vampire Warrior Kings, #3
Publish Date:
March 3, 2020

Synopsis:
Henrik Magnusson is supposed to be immortal, but a mysterious ailment leaves the Vampire Warrior King near death, and not even the blood of the Proffered—human virgins trained to feed and mate with the elite warriors—sustains him. Then he rescues a beautiful young woman from the Soul Eaters, his ancient enemies, and she sets off a bloodlust and a desire he hasn't felt for centuries.

Photographer Kaira Sorenson's life takes a nightmare turn when she's saved by a…vampire. But she’s seen too much, and now she’s his prisoner. All of which means she should be afraid of Henrik, but he’s regal, tormented, and hot as hell, and she can't deny her intense attraction to him. And then she learns that her blood may be his only salvation…

Kaira knows what it’s like to be sick, so she agrees to help Henrik. But when feeding turns into a scorching night of so much more, she must decide if she’s willing to be his forever—but will the king release her so she can freely choose?


      



*Excerpt*
If Kaira didn’t stop looking at him like that, looking at his fangs like she was fascinated and hungry, Henrik wouldn’t be responsible for his actions. She blinked and licked her lips. Which didn’t help his restraint one damn bit. He braced his hands on each of the rails of her hospital bed, a predator stalking her, boxing her in.

“You need to understand how weak my restraint is, kjære.Dear. The term of endearment was out of his mouth before he’d thought to say it.

Slowly, tentatively, she cupped his cheek in her hand, and her touch was like an anchor. Holding him. Steadying him. “So, you need blood to survive?” Her thumb stroked across the skin under his eye.

Warm. Soft. Captivating.

“And because of your illness, my blood might has been the only blood that actually…worked for you?” She said this softly, like she was trying to work out the problem by talking about it out loud. Still, he nodded.

The questions unleashed a rising tide of hope. Was she finding her way to being all right with this? 

Kaira’s gaze dragged from his eyes to her own thumb moving over his flesh, and then she looked lower. She shifted her hand until she cupped his jaw. Her thumb caressed the corner of his lips once, twice.

Henrik’s heart tripped into a sprint. “Kaira.”

The next slide of her thumb brushed the surface of his fang.

He sucked in a breath and every muscle went rigid. Kaira quickly withdrew her hand, but he shook his head. “Touch me. I want you to.” 

A little shakiness traveled through her touch when her hand returned to his face again. His hands fisted around the rails of her hospital bed, attempting to hold himself in place for whatever exploration she wished to conduct. She began again with his cheek, his jaw, his lip. And then she touched his elongated canine, less tentatively this time, a purposeful drag of her skin against the most visible outward manifestation of what he was. 

The sensation lit up his entire central nervous system.

Adrenaline and arousal poured off her, and her heartbeat fluttered like a hummingbird’s wings. Her lips fell open. She swiped her thumb under the point of his fang.

He wasn’t sure who gasped louder.

Henrik could already taste her. Given how razor-sharp his teeth were, he already knew.

She examined her thumb. A thin ribbon of red bloomed on the pad. Her eyes went wide.

His cock went rock fucking hard.

The bedrails under his fists creaked and groaned. He couldn’t look away from her intrigued expression, from her breasts heaving under the thin hospital gown, from the smear of her life’s blood turning the air so fragrant he could barely maintain rational thought.

“If I…let go…I’m going to be…all over you,” he growled. “Get rid of it.”
