Marked for Pleasure [Blood Bond] Read Free

she was in town in the evenings.
    He’d seen her ad in the local paper advertising her recent position at a new real estate agency. After that, there was no choice in whom they’d use to sell their home. He needed that excuse to get closer to her even though he knew he should be staying away.
    The little human brought out all his base desires. His mouth watered and fangs lengthened every time she came within five feet of him. No woman turned him on like this, made him so needy and desperate for release. Over the last few years, Heidi had blossomed into a beautiful woman, and he hadn’t failed to notice. He’d watched her, fantasized about her, but knew better than to involve himself with a neighbor.
    Everything took a turning point when he’d visited one of her open houses last year. They had money, so it wasn’t unusual for him to be looking at office space downtown. He’d come in late, after the sun set, and was the last client to view the unit. They’d talked about business and weather, but before long he was massaging her shoulders. She never resisted, only thanked him and told him how skilled he was with his hands as she leaned back in the chair. All he wanted to do was show her how skilled he was in other areas, but he’d behaved and remained a gentleman.
    Her neck had been unblemished, smooth, and pale. His fangs lengthened from the sight alone, and his cock hardened as she made soft mewling sounds each time he squeezed her shoulders a little harder.
    Ever since that day, there was a powerful sexual energy between them whenever they’d meet. If it wasn’t for Francis being a constant drag, telling him to stay away from the tempting little human, he’d have already tasted her and fucked her long and hard.
    To have a real woman, one with virtue, innocence, and natural beauty, would be a treat. If only his brothers felt the same way. Christian, he may be able to sway. He could see the glint in his eyes when Heidi was around. Francis was another story. Their eldest brother was a stickler for the rules, never involving innocents in their depraved vampiric lifestyle.
    “Do you have a survey for the property?” she asked as they returned to the main level.
    Christian pulled out a chair for her in the kitchen. “I’m sure we can find one for you.”
    “Good. As soon as I can get all the paperwork together, we can get it on the market. I’ll have to come by later to take pictures and a video for the virtual tour.”
    He barely paid attention to what she said, too transfixed on the fullness of her lips and flush on her cheeks. Her blood would be sweet, delectable. She was a vision of purity, and he wanted to own her, teach her the pleasures of the flesh. He didn’t have to be told she was a virgin. He envisioned her under him, her chest rising and falling as she fought for control, her blonde hair sprawled across his sheets.
    Would he dare to bring her into the basement?
    “Joseph!”
    He focused on the here and now, looking to Christian for clarification. “Huh?”
    “ The fence line. Didn’t you have the property line marked before we had the wrought iron put in?”
    “Oh, right. In my office.” His control was wavering. He needed the escape to get his faculties together. As he slipped away to retrieve the documents, he heard those fuck-me heels closing in behind him. “I’ll be right back,” he called over his shoulder.
    Yes, he wanted her but knew better than to get his hopes up. With Francis breathing down his neck, he’d be better off staying away from the little temptress. He’d have to ignore the sweet call of her blood.
    There was a war waging in their culture about mixing the races. It seemed a recent trend to take a human mate, but the elders insisted it was destroying them by diluting the bloodlines. Each half vampire born was a degree weaker than their full-blooded parent. Eventually true vamps would be extinct.
    Since their late father had been on the council, it seemed only fitting
