A Taste for Blood (The Godhunter, Book 6) Read Free

trying to reach for him but failing, so I lurched forward, effectively slamming him backwards. I used the momentum to propel myself up and forward, over to my lion lover, who looked as if his patience was about to leave the building. Hopefully along with Thor and his My Little Pony.
    “Take voman and leave now,” Kirill's Russian accent was as thick as his long, black hair, which was hanging loose around his hips tonight. I stared at the sexy display of all that shiny, straight hair around his perfectly shaped ass and totally forgot why I was standing there.
    “ Vervain,” Thor's voice reminded me.
    “ Thor,” I jerked my gaze away from my lover's assets guiltily. Though why I should feel guilty about staring at my boyfriend was beyond me. I didn't owe Thor anything, I could stare at Kirill if I wanted to. So I gave Kirill's chest a thorough once over just to prove the point.
    “ Is there a reason why we can't come upstairs?” Thor growled and I glanced back over at him in surprise.
    “ Is there a...,” I stumbled forward and Kirill caught me in a slick maneuver that made it look like he'd reached out just to put an arm around me, not because I was about to fall flat on my face. “How about, I told you I didn't want you around?” I got back on track after shooting Kirill a grateful glance.
    “ I didn't think it applied to public places,” Thor's eyes were starting to fill with lightning.
    “ This is my fucking club, you ass!” I shouted at him and the muted conversations going on behind me stopped dead.
    “ It's also the only club that caters to gods,” he ground out.
    “ Look,” Epona apparently decided she needed to add something to the debacle. “We're not here to cause any trouble, let's just go have a drink downstairs, Thor.”
    “ Not here to cause trouble?” Constantin growled from the back of the hill he was flung over, and held down on, by Ilario and Adriano. “Go bray your lies elsewhere. You're here just to whip me to a frenzy and you know it.”
    “ Great, more horse references,” Sommer drawled. “I'm never going to get these images out of my head.”
    “ I am not, Constantin,” Epona lifted her long face in the air. “I didn't even know you were going to be here tonight.”
    “ Alright, that's it,” I waved a hand in a cutting motion and was surprised to find that it was steady. Sober already. Well yippee, just in time to come up with some good insults. “I don't know you, horse-face and I don't care if you're here under good intentions or not. You're upsetting my employee and you being in the company of Undesirable No. 1 over here, doesn't help your case.”
    “ You mean Public Enemy No. 1,” Epona raised a sassy eyebrow at me. “If you're going to be rude, you should at least get your insults straight.”
    “ No, I don't and don't fucking correct me,” I snarled. “Go watch a Harry Potter movie and learn something important... like knowing when to shut the hell up.”
    “ Vervain,” Thor growled.
    “ Watch it, Sparky,” I shot back. “I'm not in the god damned mood for your bullshit. Take your little friend and gallop away before I call in the wolves.”
    “ My bullshit?” His eyes started to flash lightning. “I simply wanted a nice evening out with a woman who actually enjoys my company.”
    “ No problem,” I nodded very reasonably. “Take said woman and go enjoy your evening together... elsewhere. May I recommend the Polo Field? She might enjoy that but really, I don't care where you go and I don't care that I own the only club that caters to gods. Just because this is a god specific club, doesn't mean you can't go anywhere else. Hell go to fucking Timbuktu, it'll only take a few seconds, just go away from here .”
    “ All that time I watched you,” Thor shook his head, “I never saw you behave with such avarice.”
    “ Really?” I blinked at him, wide-eyed, “you're going to bring up your previous stalking of me while currently stalking me and
