His low, rumbling voice echoed around her, inside her, shooting sparks of desire that centered in her womb. Her lips swelled, ready to accommodate him, juices trickling at the thought of his taking her. "Yes." It was barely a whisper, but in less than a second, he was in front of her, and she was in his arms. His mouth opened with a hiss, baring his fangs, huge and gleaming white in the low light of the barn. Emma laced her fingers in his hair, knocking his hat to the floor. She pulled him down for a kiss—and hesitated. Did vampires kiss? He answered her question by slanting his lips over hers, lapping at her with his tongue, demanding a response until she answered with her own tongue. The kiss was primitive, their breaths mingling, tongues twisting, tasting each crevice, sliding along straight teeth. Until Emma’s tongue encountered his fang. He stilled. She sighed as she touched her tongue to the razor sharpness of his canine. A twinge of pain then a coppery tang filled her mouth. Bliss mellowed her rioting thoughts as he sucked at her tongue, moaning his pleasure at the appetizer.

With a suddenness that startled her, a vision from Kade's vantage point slammed into Emma's mind. He held her in his arms, she was naked, her back against the barn wall, her legs around his waist, her needy core opening to take his hard, hot length inside her. As he surged upward, filling her with his rigid shaft, his mouth came down on her neck. She gasped and put a hand to her throat. He’d planted the vision in her mind. It was so real. She felt the sweet pressure in her opening, the seductive pain at her neck. Kade stood at the far end of the barn, his booted feet spread, his hands fisted, his hat shading his face. "Is that what you want, Emma? It’s a package deal. If you want to know my bite, you have to accept my cock."

He leaned closer. She stepped back, and he sensed a small burst of fear mingling with her determination. "Please, Kade, hear what I have to say." He nodded. They'd talked a dozen times when he went to town for a late night meal. Sometimes she'd sit with him if things were slow.

Bad timing for a social visit, though. "You don’t want to be here today." He hadn’t fed in over a month. Blood hunger clawed at his stomach. He’d planned to make the long drive to El Paso tonight, find a loose young thing at a bar, and take her with his cock and then his fangs. But when Emma tipped her head and her hair swung away from her neck, his fangs tingled, ready to come down.

"I snuck in through the gate after your foreman left." He looked past her. The sun was down, the yard lights glared from the barn, and a bike lay at the foot of the porch steps. Was she stalking him? Ironic. He usually did the stalking.

A tall blonde girl nearly toppled in, her arm raised for another knock. Her big, blue eyes opened wide when her fist stopped an inch short of his chin. "Emma?" The night shift waitress at the diner. "Who let you onto the property?" A flush of red crept up her neck. His nostrils flared as he caught the scent of blood.

In his sleep, Kade Rourke sensed someone on his property. Someone other than the ranch hand who’d already left for the day. Loud banging on the front door yanked him fully awake. "Shit." Moving on fast-forward, he pulled on black jeans, a black t-shirt, and boots. He wrenched open the front door before the next knock.

Squaring her shoulders, Emma went after what she wanted. Her running shoes tread silently as she entered the barn. At the other end, Kade dropped the saddle he carried and turned to her. "I asked you to leave." Taking a fortifying breath, she let it out with, "I don't want to leave." She strode forward, concentrating on one thing - his bite.

Trace eased the screen door closed, not meeting her gaze. Removing his hat, he hung it on a coat rack next to the door. "It can wait." He moved closer and slid his hands over her shoulders.
"Hold on," Macy said, forcing herself back from the edge of seduction, taking a step back out of his grasp. "I want to know about these papers first."

When Chase released Drake’s hand, Reno said, “Drake was instrumental in my attaining the teaching position.”
“Great,” Chase worked to keep the sarcasm out of his voice, “Now I know who to thank.” And had more than one reason to dislike him.
Drake’s eyes narrowed and his grin turned cocky as he drawled, “We discussed it last week when I stopped by her farm for a visit.”
Chase snapped his gaze to Reno, and she looked guilty.
Chase raised one eyebrow. “You had a visitor?”
