The_Vampire_Slayer

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance | Supernatural] I was trained to be the silent end of his kind. Nineteen years spent learning how to find a pulse, how to drive the silver deep, and how to stay cold when the monsters screamed. Then I met Julian Vane. He didn’t scream. He laughed. He caught my blade mid-air and tasted my blood like it was the finest vintage in his cellar. Now, I’m no longer his assassin—I’m his tether. A "Soul-Bind" has linked our heartbeats, turning my hatred into a dark, visceral hunger and his predatory instincts into a possessiveness that borders on madness. The Order calls me a traitor. The Vampire Council calls me an abomination. But as ancient secrets wake to reclaim the night, I’m the only thing standing between the man I’m supposed to kill and the apocalypse he’s destined to start. My name is Sienna. I am the Vampire Slayer. And I am hopelessly, violently bound to the King of the Monsters. ~★~ Excerpt: The steam from the shower still clung to my skin, the white towel wrapped precariously around my chest as I stepped into the bedroom. I froze. Julian was there. He was leaning against the bedpost, shirtless, the flickering firelight dancing over the lean, lethal muscles of his torso. His silver hair was tousled, and his eyes—usually a calculated gray—were burning with a dark, predatory crimson. "You’re late for your lesson, Sienna," he murmured, his voice a low vibration that seemed to settle right in the pit of my stomach. "I didn't think you'd be waiting in my room," I breathed, clutching the edge of the towel. "Get out, Julian." In a blur of supernatural speed, he was in front of me. His hand hit the wall beside my head, pinning me against the cold stone. The scent of him—spiced cedar and something ancient—overwhelmed my senses. "I don't take orders from my 'claimed,' little Slayer," he whispered, his lips grazing the sensitive column of my neck. I let out a jagged gasp, my head falling back against the wall. "Your pulse is racing. Is that the fear I taught you? Or the hunger I woke up?" "I hate you," I croaked, even as my body betrayed me, arching toward his cold skin. "Then why are you trembling under my touch?" His hand slid down, his fingers catching the knot of the towel. He didn't pull it. He just waited, his lips moving from my neck to the corner of my mouth. "Julian..." I moaned. "Say it," he growled against my lips. "Tell me you want the monster." I didn't answer with words. I pulled him closer, my hands sliding over the hard planes of his chest. As his mouth crashed onto mine in a kiss that tasted of war and desperation, the towel gave way, pooling at my feet. "There," he whispered against my mouth, his breath hitching as he felt the raw heat of me. "Now we start the real lesson." A/N: This book is a work of fiction intended for adult audiences.
