Chapter 1

Ethan nibbled on my earlobe, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. His strong hands roamed possessively - one gripping my waist, pulling me closer until there was no space between us, while the other tangled in my hair, tilting my head back. I gasped as his lips traced a burning path down my neck, my fingers digging into his shoulders.

Chapter 2

I felt my jaw tighten. The nerve of this woman. 'Federal regulations aren't something you can bypass with money, Lucy. You know that.' She looked up, tears streaming down her face. 'But you've done it before. Every time Ivy needed blood, you managed to get me temporary release.' Her voice cracked. 'My grandmother raised me after my parents died. She was all I had.'

Chapter 5

'It's just Lucy now.' I handed her an envelope. 'The divorce papers are inside. Make sure he gets them.' She clutched the envelope like it might bite. 'But Mrs. Sto- Lucy, you're pregnant...' 'That's exactly why I have to leave,' I zipped up my duffel bag, calmly saying. 'I won't let my child grow up in this twisted family.'

Chapter 8

'Finally awake?' Ethan's voice rumbled low against my skin; his fingers caressed my hip through the thin silk. 'You were restless all night.' 'Don't touch me.' I tried to pull away, but his arm tightened, drawing me back against his chest. My traitorous body remembered this embrace, melting into his familiar warmth even as my mind screamed in protest.
