A pity she wasn’t given a choice.
Studying the gaping hole in what might be the very fabric of the space/time continuum, Kata missed Yannah creeping behind her. It wasn’t until she felt the demon’s tiny hands on her ass that she belatedly realized her danger.
She gave a choked shout of alarm at the same time that Yannah shoved her forward.
Chapter 6
Uriel was rarely caught off guard.
A complacent vampire was a dead vampire.
But distracted by the lurking promise of an escape route, he hadn’t realized the tiny demon’s intention until too late.
Swearing as he watched Kata being pushed into the portal, Uriel didn’t hesitate. Knocking aside Yannah, Uriel charged forward, managing to wrap his arms around Kata’s waist as they both plunged through the shimmering mist.
There was the sense of freefalling through a tunnel of black nothingness and Uriel instinctively tugged Kata closer to his body. At the moment, she was the only real thing in the whirling darkness.
Wrapped in her sweet scent of tiger lilies and the tantalizing warmth of her lush body, Uriel was struck by a piercing desire to keep falling. Anything just so he could keep this woman in his arms.
Insanity, of course.
He was a vampire.
They didn’t do “happily ever afters.” Or even “I’ll call you tomorrow.”
At least not until they found their mate.
And this woman couldn’t be his mate.
