What force of nature is more dangerous than love? Desire.

Desire is just as potent as love but more deadly and the high is so addictive that most would say the consequences are worth it. Most except for Julian Doyle. He's guilty of both Love and Desire, and because of this recklessness, he has watched the world change for over a century.

Cion has lived her life with the knowledge that the world is not as it seems. Sprites, ghosts, and demons live among the masses, and she is one of the 'lucky' few to know it. 

Cion and Julien are two completely different supernatural beings. Will they be able to withstand the forces trying to keep them apart? 

***

To kiss him sober is out of my league. But somehow with all these excuses, I still close my eyes and brace for him. I want to feel the heat of his lips but feel nothing. His breath is on my ear as he mutters, "Your name is beautiful."

Poisoned By Desire

Cionna snuggles deeper into my arms and listens as I tell her about Josey. I leave out certain details, but I give Cionna as much of the truth as I can. I don’t like discussing that time in my life, and with Josey slinking about I especially don’t want them crossing paths. At least not without me around.


I look down to find Cionna fast asleep in my arms. I shake my head and adjust her. She feels a bit warm, and I’m worried. I don’t want to wake her, but I know she has class tomorrow. Maybe I can drop her off in the morning. She looks like she could use a break. I feel a little uneasy about her sleeping at my place. 


Normally this sort of thing wouldn’t happen for a few months down the line for me.  I’m old school that way, but we don’t have much time left together. So, I will make an exception for my Babydoll.
