Reawakened
By Carrie Pulkinen
Her magic has been reawakened. But will her
heart let her follow her destiny?
Blurb:
Jules Hume lives in a world where magic is
a myth and supernatural creatures are fiction. Or so she thinks. Her boyfriend
Ian would have to disagree. When Jules discovers the man of her dreams is not
only a vampire, but a vampire king who's tasked with saving the world from a demon
attack, life as she knows it ends. Can she accept her fate and take her place
by Ian's side as ruler of the paranormal world? Or will she close her mind and
her heart to the chance at love and adventure?
Excerpt:
This is the night, I thought. After what
just happened, he had to tell me everything. I braced myself, and walked into
the bedroom. My clothes were gone. Ian must've put them in the dryer already.
On the bed lay a soft, midnight blue robe. The bedroom door was closed, and I
could hear the shower running down the hall. I figured it would be a while
before Ian came back, so I left the towel in the bathroom and walked naked
across the room to get the robe. Distracted as I was with everything that had
happened, I wasn't paying attention to where I stepped, and I tripped on the
rug, falling face-first on the ground. I let out a little squeal as I went down.
I didn't think I was loud, but Ian was in the room in seconds.
"Are you okay, my Jewel? I heard you
scream." He took me by the hand and lifted me to my feet.
"I'm fine." Heat flushed my
cheeks. "And I didn't scream. I just squealed a little bit when I fell.
You didn't have to stop your shower to come rescue me again."
It was then that I realized I was naked.
And my eyes had been locked with his since he came through the door, so I was
just beginning to realize that he was naked too. And he was wet. His muscles
flowed down his body like a perfectly carved statue, firm and hard. My eyes
took in his form. From his eyes, down to his chest. His muscular arms had me
longing for his embrace. His perfect six-pack abs had my hands twitching with
the need to touch. Down my eyes went to his...oh my! He was definitely excited.
I forced my gaze back up to his eyes, and the expression I found there was one
of pure need...of lust...and love. His eyes went down my body and back up to
return my gaze. He licked is lips.
That did it for me. I couldn't waste the
opportunity, so I threw myself into his arms, and we kissed passionately. Our
tongues explored each other mouths, necks, shoulders. He embraced me, pulling
our bodies together, the cool wetness of his skin sending chills down my spine.
As the energy pulsed between us, I felt him...long and hard pressed against my
stomach. I took him in my hand and stroked. He sucked in a sharp breath, closed
his eyes, and leaned his head back, moaning in pleasure. I pressed my lips to
his neck and kissed him, tasted him, as my hand stroked him to the rhythm of
our pulsing energy. He pulled my leg up over his hip and pressed himself
against me. Dear God! My heart raced. My hands trembled. His mouth found mine
again as his hand twisted in my hair. The energy pulsed harder, faster, until
my head spun, and I had to pull away to catch my breath.
When his eyes finally met mine, they were
deep. Deeper than I'd ever seen them before, and I was lost in them.
