Mercy of These Bones

Four years ago, Mathias Larsen broke siring laws to save a lover’s life. Four months ago, that lover turned on him, leaving him for dead. Now Mathias has followed her path of death to Las Vegas, straight to the last vampire who wants to see him: his sire. The man he left for a woman who stabbed him in the back. Edmund has found love again with a nightclub owner, the very human Darby Bell. He doesn’t want to believe Mathias’s warnings, but a murder that hits too close to home gives him no choice. While he struggles to keep Mathias and Darby safe, emotions run high as old love collides with new. But the clock is ticking. The vampire Assembly is coming to town, the local police are alerted to Mathias’s nocturnal activities, and passions are flaring high. Time is running out. By the time death strikes again, all bets are off.

Chapter 43

Too soon, it was over, and Edmund’s hand loosed at his nape, long fingers caressing the contours of his skull. Mathias sucked at the softening shaft, taking the time he hadn’t been granted when Edmund had started, to fully appreciate the velvety skin. He dipped his tongue into the slit to steal the last drops of fluid, and Edmund shuddered. Before Mathias could swallow again, Edmund hauled him back to his feet, shoved him hard into the wall, and clamped his mouth over Mathias’, demanding entrance to take his share of his spendings.

When Mathias curled his arms around Edmund’s broad shoulders this time, there was no fight, no protest, no attempt to dislodge him. Everything about the kiss was different, and if it felt too much like a more rapturous time, he didn’t allow himself to dwell on it. This was now. This was them. This was all that mattered.
