When Valentine’s sire is forced to take a mate by his Clan leader, Valentine is reduced to stoking the castle’s furnaces as nothing more than a cindered servant to the new matriarch. With his sire Libertine incarcerated and Valentine forced to wear a cursed collar, there seems no way to escape Belladonna’s hold on them. When a stranger appears, Valentine is surprised by how quickly he trusts the other vampire. He accepts the request to go to the castle of his Clan Lord, the ancient and powerful Hades, to uncover who is working to overthrow him. His reward is freedom for both him and his sire. No one is meant to know who he really is, and Valentine pretends he’s one of Hades’ favorites while in the castle, adopting the name Cinder and playing his Seductive nature to its full. But his world is shaken to its core when Valentine finds himself falling for the enigmatic Cole. As a Seductive, Valentine never imagined he’d want an Alpha Predator as a mate. Worse yet, it may be that Cole could be the very one he’s been sent to uncover. When the battle for dominance begins, where will Valentine’s loyalty lie?

Cinis

Drawing back slightly Blade slid his hand between Valentine’s legs, caressing his balls, to the crease of his ass.


With a smile, Valentine nodded and welcomed him with both body and mind.


“Yours. Always. I can feel your love for me.” Valentine rested a palm against Blade’s cheek. “It’s more wonderful than ever I imagined.”


“Then this will be how it remains for us from now on.” Blade nipped Valentine’s chin, licking away the droplets of blood. He trailed a line of feather light kisses across Valentine’s cheek, down to the junction of neck and shoulder, nipping sharply before soothing the bite with his tongue.


With a moan of Blade’s name, Valentine tried to pull him closer as Blade ran his hands proprietarily over Valentine’s body.


“Please, Blade.” Valentine moved restlessly, straining to lift his legs.


“No, not like that.” Blade caressed Valentine’s cheek with his fingertips. For now, my body is yours. Pleasure yourself as you will.”
