moaned against her hot neck, his teeth bared.
“ What do you want? ” In that moment, he would do anything for Maura, and anything for Ava.
She moved even closer, and he sucked in his breath, his teeth piercing her skin.
“ I want you to bite me. It's been too long, and no one else does it like you do. Believe me, I've tried. ”
Heat rose in his cheeks at the thought of his folly in trying to make her his love a few years earlier. Little had he known she was already an immortal being. Nonetheless, they had both enjoyed it.
“ Come. ” She grabbed his hand and led him to her chamber, an opulent jewel and leather furnished den with luxe pillows and fabrics scattered around. Incense wafted to his nostrils, making him drowsy. Two demons stood guard, and he noticed their greedy eyes watching them. The thought of their coupling being watched excited Gabriel further.
“ I can't wait. ” Her voice came hoarse in his ear as she lay back on the bed, her throat bared to him.
“ Will you transport me after? ”
She snapped her fingers. “ The coffin. ”
A demon nodded and left.
“ Yes. ”
He growled, leaning over her, looking at her full breasts pushing up from the vest she wore as he bared his teeth against her warm, pulsing flesh and bit her. Then he pulled away as she yelped.
“ Is that all? ”
“ Yes. ” He caught his breath in gulps. “ I told you. I love her. ”
Maura shook her head, sighing. “ Fine. I'll transport you, anyway. Just get out of my sight and don't come back. ”
“ I won't. I promise. ” Relief flooded through Gabriel that Maura had agreed to his request despite his willingness to be seduced by her.
“ Leopold, take care of him. I have things to do. ” She swung off the bed, leaving the room with a sway of leather-clad hips.
“ Get in the box now, ” Leopold murmured, leering at him. Gabriel wanted nothing more than to leave the place.
“ Thank you, Maura, ” he called out as he entered the box with Leopold's assistance.
A yell came back to him from the edge of the room. “ Go find her. ”
Chapter One
Ava Allen sighed and wiped her forehead. It had been a hot day, and evening hadn't let up on the heat any. The back of the office bulged with shipments for the next day. Sometimes she hated having opened this small shipping boutique. Sunrise to sunset held backbreaking work, but then again, her success in a year had been beyond what she had ever imagined.
She organized smaller boxes on a shelf, getting ready to leave for the day. The large warehouse room in back hummed with florescent lighting, her other coworkers having gone hours before.
“ I could really use a vacation. ” She sighed, stretching tense shoulders. Her social life this last year had been nonexistent, and she needed a change from that and her hectic schedule. As she leaned over a group of boxes, she heard a thump.
Her heart skipped a beat. She knew she was alone, but she had definitely heard something.
Probably mice. The warehouse was an old dump of a place. She walked over to the bigger boxes waiting for shipping where she thought the sound had come from.
One box caught her attention as it had earlier in the day. It was huge — big enough for a man. In fact it was shaped sort of like a coffin from what she could see through the edges of the cardboard. The thought made her shiver as she heard another loud bump like a fist against hard wood.
“ Oh my god. ” She breathed, her hand on her heart. Her brown hair felt damp on her now cold, sweaty forehead.
Ava stepped away from the box, ready to run. She didn't think there was a live animal in there, and that thought made her even more
