Sinful's Desire Read Free Page B

neither, and she really wished she had enough guts to stay there and flirt a little more.
    “Damn it to hell,” Marlee muttered to herself and headed toward her seat without grabbing another pint. She needed to keep her wits about her.
    She paused and turned to look back, hoping the man was long gone, but he wasn’t. He stood and stared at her with an intensity that took her breath away. Turning back around again before she ran back and begged him to take her with him, she went to her seat. The men were laughing and had gotten a pint for her while she was gone.
    Through the rest of the game, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had walked away from something big. The man had certainly had a magnetic appeal she couldn’t forget. As she said goodbye to her new friends, Marlee looked around, hoping to see the man again, maybe now that she had her body under control she wouldn’t sound like an idiot when she spoke to him. Apparently she was not going to be that lucky though, no sign of the man.
    As she walked back to her hotel, Marlee was sure she was being followed but every time she stopped and looked, no one was there. The feeling was disconcerting, the strangest thing was, whoever was following her didn’t have a menacing vibe. She felt like they were just watching to see where she went, how strange .
     

Chapter Three
     
    “Who is she?” Sin demanded.
    “Sire, her name is Marlee Hicks, she is from America the hotel manager said, she’s on holiday by herself,” his sentry said.
    Cillian, who had remained quiet since his man returned, stepped forward and said, “Thank you, Thomas, go and feed.”
    The sentry nodded and left the room. Sin stood looking out the window, tense and feeling very unsettled. “What would you like me to do?” his second said quietly.
    Sin turned and looked at his friend, “There is something about her.”
    “Yes,” Cillian agreed. “She didn’t respond like most humans to our powers.”
    Sin looked closely at his second, did the man scent her the same way Sin did? Her blood still called to him. If that were the case, they were going to have a big problem. “What did you scent when you were close?”
    Cillian shrugged and said, “Human blood, nothing special.”
    Sin frowned and looked at his confidant. “I felt something different.”
    “What?” Cillian asked quickly.
    “I am not sure, it was like I knew her blood,” Sin said slowly.
    “Like you had sired her?” Cillian asked. “But she is human.”
    “I know, it is what is so confusing. Invite her to dinner,” Sin said and frowned.
    “Do you think that is wise?” Cillian said. “She doesn’t know about us, I am sure of it.”
    “Bring her,” Sin ordered and turned back to the window. He didn’t want to discuss it, or else he would have to think about his own feelings, and right now he had no desire to actually question it.
    “Yes, Sire,” Cillian said and waited. “Lord Jager will be here shortly. I will show him in when he arrives.”
    “Do you have the information I requested?” Sin asked, turning. He pushed the thought of the female human from his mind. He needed to focus on what was going on in his territory.
    “Yes, it is on your desk. There have been several vampires requesting permission to come to our territory, so far they are young and still gaining their powers. However, there have been some grumblings about vampires being hidden that are more powerful,” Cillian said.
    “Who is reporting this?” Sin asked.
    “Men from the north. I think we should send someone up there,” Cillian said.
    Sin stood and thought for a moment. “Send Liam and his crew. They should be able to tell us if there are vampires hiding up there.”
    Cillian nodded, “I will send in Jager.”
    Sin continued to look out the window, his mind wondering what the delectable Marlee was doing. Even her name sounded delicious on his tongue as he rolled it around some more. What was it about her that drew him to her? He had
