Danger&039;s reaction to her "guest" ift and automatic, and it happened without any preer and threw it straight into the olden dust just like any good Daimon would

"Mere de Dieu," she breathed

Kyros had been right The ht!

Her jaw dropped as he sauntered into the rooer and a less-than-amused smirk He pinned her with a droll stare as he er shot from the floor, where it had fallen after he exploded into dust, and into his hand

He held it out to her, hilt first It was painfully obvious that he wasn&039;t the least bit afraid she&039;d use it on hiain "Could you please refrain fro that It seriously pisses er continued to gape as she stared at the hole in his black turtleneck where the dagger had gone in There was no blood No wound Nothing Not even a red mark It was as if he hadn&039;t been stabbed at all

I&039;ave her a dry, almost bored stare "Well, had you listened before you stabbed me, you would have heard the &039;I&039;m Acheron&039;s Squire&039; part Apparently that so and you mistook me for a pin cushion"

He was certainly a snotty bastard Not that she didn&039;t deserve a degree of snottiness seeing how she&039;d just tried to kill hi, especially since, if Stryker and Kyros were to be believed, he&039;d been sent here to kill her

"He has soer," Keller said fro theer took her dagger froed tear in his black turtleneck He felt solid underneath Real There was cold skin beneath the silk and wool fabric and it was hard and s didn&039;t shatter like Daimons and no Daimon reappeared after death

In that moment, she was terrified of hier St Richard felt Ever

Alexion ground his teeth at the sensation of her soft fingers on his flesh His body roared to life as he watched her exaone tragically wrong She was very short for a Dark-Hunter whichfor the wooddess preferred to create Dark-Hunters ere equal in height to the Daiereuse was petite and athletic He&039;d seen her many times lately in the sfora as he kept watch on what the Mississippi Dark-Hunters were up to

There had been soht his interest An innocence that still seemed to be inside her Most Dark-Hunters were jaded by their human betrayals and deaths, and by their duties But this one She appeared to have avoided the cynicis by Dark-Hunter years

Still, it would be a shalow that continued to allow her to enjoy her immortality Hoished he could feel it too But toorobbed hi braid, hanging down her back, but pieces of it had escaped to curl becoelic and delicate If not for her carriage and self-assuredness, she would have appeared fragile

And yet there was nothing fragile about her Dangereuse could more than take care of herself and well he knew it As one of the newer Dark-Hunters, she was only a couple of hundred years old and had died while trying to save the noble half of her fa their revolution It had been a monumental task she had set for herself, and had she not been betrayed, she would have succeeded

Not to mention that the woman had the most kissable mouth he&039;d ever seen Full and lush, her lips were the kind that a ht That mouth beckoned him noith temptation and the promise of pure unadulterated heaven

She also snolias and woman

It had been over two hundred years since he&039;d last had the pleasure of a woman&039;s body And it was all he could do not to bend his head and bury his face against her soft, tender neck and inhale the scent of her Feel the softness of her skin against his hungry lips as he tasted the supple flesh there

Oh, to have her lithe body pressed up against his, preferably while they were both naked

But then-given her first reaction to his presence-he didn&039;t think she&039;d react er sed in sudden trepidation as she looked at the ht down to the white cashmere coat

It&039;s all true All of it

He was Acheron&039;s personal destroyer who had co Acheron&039;s authority She felt the sudden need to cross herself, but caught herself just in ti she needed to do was to let him know she feared him

Her extremely superstitious and Catholic mother had always told her as a child that the devil wore the face of an angel In this case, it was most certainly true The man before her ithout a doubt one of the choicest exahts and brushed the top of his collar He wore it in a casual style that ept back from a perfectly masculine face His well-sculpted cheeks were covered with two days&039; growth of whiskers that added a savage, fierce look to hiht-black of a Dark-Hunter and yet she sensed that he wasn&039;t one of the, he didn&039;t drain her Dark-Hunter abilities

There was an aura of extre from him It rippled and sizzled in the air around them and made the hair on the back of her neck rise

"What are you doing here?" she asked, forcing herself not to betray anything other than nonchalance Although the earlier dagger throw had most likely tipped him off that she wasn&039;t exactly ambivalent to his presence

Yeah, that had been a really smart move It was all she could do not to roll her eyes at her swiftness in betraying her knowledge of hiret it

His s "You inviteda Daimon? No Daimon could enter someone&039;s ho an idle comment?

Either way, she wasn&039;t ready to welcome him not yet "I invited Ash here Not you I don&039;t even knoho you are"

He didn&039;t hesitate to answer "Alexion" His voice was deep and well cultured There was only the faintest trace of son accent, but she didn&039;t knohat nationality it ca what his surna with it "Just Alexion"

Keller rose from his chair and joined them "Ash sent him here for a couple of weeks to check into what you were saying about a Rogue Dark-Hunter"

She arched a brow at Keller "Is that what Alexion told you?"

He tensed as if he realized he"Well, yeah, but then I called Ash myself and he corroborated it"

Good boy that he hadn&039;t taken theelse?"

"Just to trust Alexion"

Yeah, right Like she&039;d trust an agitated cobra at her bare feet

Danger sheathed her dagger before she addressed Alexion again "Well, it appears I spoke too soon I was checking into the Rogue thing &039;s fine so you can feel free to return to Ash now"
