giving each one equal time. She cocked a leg as she arched against him, using two handfuls of his hair as anchors.
“You’re learning fast, little one,” Myra moaned. “That feels so good.”
There was no mistaking the satisfied smirk that passed over the empath’s face. Case smiled himself before issuing the next direction, “Put one of your fingers inside her.”
Case didn’t have the best view, but he knew Bear had followed orders when the succubus jerked and let out a keening wail of pleasure.
“What does she feel like?” Case asked.
“Fab-fricking-tabulous. Can I put two fingers inside her?”
“Yes, but make sure that you use your thumb to rub her clit. They like it when you do that.”
Bear’s arm shifted as he followed Case’s instructions. Myra let out a long moan as she stood up on tiptoe so she could start riding his hand. Again and again, she undulated her hips, going faster as she got closer to the brink. Bear returned to her breasts, taking one of the nipples into his mouth and sucking.
Mrya’s lips were parted, her cheeks flushed with passion as she let out little pants of pleasure. She shifted her hands down to the empath’s shoulders and Case could see her claws digging into his skin. It must have hurt like hell, but Bear didn’t utter one complaint.
“That’s it,” she moaned. “You’re making me come.”
Case knew that she reached her climax when she arched her back even more as she let out a hoarse sob. Bear met his eye over the female’s shoulder and Case gave him an admiring look.
“What was that like?” he asked the empath.
“Great, she’s so hot and wet,” came the strangled reply.
Sweat beaded at the temples of Bear’s strained face.
“Wet for you,” Myra purred as she grabbed him by the front of the shirt and led him to the edge of the bed. She turned and pointed a finger at him. “Now strip.”
Bear didn’t waste a second, scrambling out of his clothes in record speed. As soon as he was done, she gave him a push on 319

the chest tipping him onto the bed. Climbing up after him, she gave Case a spectacular view of her ass. Once she was on top of Bear, she started to lick his chest like a hungry kitten. Case hardened as he remembered the way it felt when she sank her fangs into his. Bear was in for a treat. Case tensed as he waited with baited breath, wondering if Bear’s reaction would be as intense as his had been. After what seemed like an eternity, there was a flash of fangs as she latched onto the empath’s flesh.
“Oh, wow,” Bear yelled out as he buried his hands in her hair.
Never taking her mouth away, she lifted her hips just enough to impale herself on his shaft. Bear didn’t need any more directions as natural instinct seemed to take over. He moved his hands down to her hips so he could guide her thrusts, arching his hips up to meet her halfway.
Once she was done feeding, she looked over her shoulder at Case. Her weird cat eyes locked with his in a heated gaze as she licked the last bit of Bear’s blood off her bottom lip.
Turning her attention back to Bear, she rode the empath for several minutes before she threw back her head as she came.
Bear stiffened up under her as he let out his own groan of pleasure.
Case thought that would be it for Bear, but his brother proved him wrong when he rolled Myra over so he was on top.
Grabbing one of her long legs, he hooked it around his waist as he plunged into her again. Case gave a slight shake of his head as he felt both disbelief and admiration build up in him.
Damn, Bear had the stamina of a bunny rabbit.
Deciding that he’d seen enough, Case slipped out to give them some privacy. He immediately tried to call his twin. First, because he needed to check up on his side of the mission to make sure the arrest had gone off without a hitch, and second, to tell him about Bear.
When Joe didn’t answer, Case was annoyed, but not overly concerned. He had a strong mental link to his twin so he knew Joe wasn’t in any real danger. He started looking around the 320
Sanguinary Seductions
house for more information about Aris and his dealings because that was what he had been there to do before he had gotten distracted.
He was halfway through souring the living room when his cell finally went off. Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was Joe.
Case smiled to himself as he thought about what his twin’s reaction was going to be when he heard about all the fun Bear was having.
As soon as he answered, Joe barked out, “Where are you?”
Confused by his twin’s attitude, Case stammered, “At the rogue’s house, why?”
“Is there a succubus there with you?”
“Maybe,” Case hedged as an uneasy feeling started to crawl down his spine.
“Where’s Bear?”
“He’s…interrogating the succubus.”
“Get him out of there now. We just found the rogue. He’s dead, something ripped him apart and I’m pretty sure it was her.”
Case dropped the phone and ran to the bedroom. Bear was alone with her and she was a murderer. He flung the door and walked straight into the barrel of a gun. Myra was dressed again, this time in black leather and it matched the Glock she had pointed at his head. He looked around franticly for Bear, but didn’t see him anywhere.
“I wasn’t the one that killed Aris,” her voice had an almost frantic edge to it. “He was already destroyed when I found him.”
He took a step toward her, only to draw back when she jerked the gun determinedly in his direction. He glanced around the room, but still didn’t see Bear. Fear clawed at his insides as he thought about what the demon might have done to the empath. “If you hurt my brother, I’ll—”
“He’s in the bathroom getting dressed,” she cut him off. “I haven’t hurt him. I swear to you.”
I can’t believe that I left him alone with a demon. “What kind of game are you playing?” he snarled. “Why did you make me 321
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
think the rogue had captured you and locked you up?”
“I needed you to let your guard down and, if I know one thing about you angels, it’s that you’re a sucker for a damsel in distress.”
Case made sure the disgust he felt for her showed on his face. “All this for some jewels?”
“It was never about the jewels. In fact, I don’t even have them in my possession any more. I was just hoping to get them so he would trade me for something of mine that he has.”
“What could possibly interest a succubus more than some shiny trinkets?”
“Aris didn’t work alone, he had a partner. A demon named Gaap. This demon has my sister and he’s holding her captive.”
“But you said you lost the jewels. So what good would it be bringing us into it?”
“Lucifer has put a pretty hefty bounty on you and your brothers’ heads. I’m going to turn you in and collect. The money I make from that will make up for the lost diamonds.”
“You’re one sadistic bitch.”
She rolled her eyes. “I’m a demon. What did you expect, me to sing lullabies and do good deeds?”
Case took a step closer and she shook the gun. “Don’t move another inch,” she commanded. “These bullets are infused with demon’s blood.”
Case froze in his tracks. Demon’s blood was poisonous to angels. With archangel’s like him, it made them sicker than a dog, but to an empath, like Bear, it was deadly. He needed to get Bear out of harm’s way, but Myra was standing between him and the bathroom door blocking his way.
All of the sudden, the bathroom door burst open. Bear came hauling out, a gun in his hand. Before Myra had a chance to react, Bear fired off a round, clipping her in the wing. She let out a scream as she swung around her gun.
Case kicked her hand, making her drop the weapon. Bear leveled the gun to her temple and she stilled. Holding both her hands up in the air, her amber eyes grew wide and frantically looked at first one brother, then the other.

“Please,” she begged in a hoarse voice. “I’m only trying to protect my sister. Wouldn’t you two do the same for each other?”
Case let out a breath of frustration. Of course he would do the same for his family. His guts were still churning from those few moments he had thought Bear was in danger. He thought back to the time when demons had his other younger brother Cam captive. He would have done anything to get Cam back then. Anything.
Case gave Bear a shrug. “This is your call. You’re the angel warrior. All us enforcers do is deal with rogues, demons are your specialty.”
Bear lowered his gun, but the hard lines stayed on his face.
“You can go, Myra, but you will leave this city tonight and never come back.”
“I can’t leave my sister,” she protested.
Bear’s jaw got a tick in it. “You’re sister is just fine. Gaap is being very good to her. He loves her.”
Myra’s jaw dropped. “But Aris…”
“Was playing you for a fool,” Bear finished flatly. “He knew you would do anything if you thought your sister was in danger.”
She hesitated, doubt clearly on her face. “Are you telling me the truth?”
“I swear it to you as an angel warrior. Now get out of here before I remember I’m supposed to be destroying demons, not making nice with them.”
She nodded once, before she flashed out, proving the angel harness that she’d been wearing earlier had been as fake as her story. Case gave a slight shake of his head, amazed at the way the evening had progressed.
He turned to look at Bear with newfound respect. It wasn’t because Bear had lost his so called cherry either. It was because his brother had handled himself damn good during this mission. Not only had he single-handedly taken out a demon assassin in the alley, but he’d found a diplomatic way to deal with Myra. Most other angel warriors would have killed the 323

succubus and not given a care if she claimed she was innocent or not. But Bear had taken the time to hear her out and he’d been willing to believe she actually had a reason for her sins.
Something was still nagging him though. He narrowed his eyes at Bear. “How did you know Myra had a gun on me and how did you know about her sister?”
Bear shuffled his feet and nibbled on his thumbnail. It was something the empath did whenever he was nervous or about ready to tell a lie. “Maybe I heard it through the bathroom door.”
Case looked over at the bathroom. It was all the way across the bedroom and the door was heavy, but maybe Bear had been able to hear their conversation. That still didn’t explain everything though. “You knew more than just that. How did you know that Gaap is in love with her sister?” When Bear kept up with the mute act and looked down at is feet, Case cursed under his breath. “You had a vision, didn’t you?”
The whole reason why Case’s entire family had a bounty on their head was the fact that some of them had powerful telepathic gifts. Bear had just never shown any abilities before today.
Bear finally looked up, his face looked older because it was lined with worry. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell the rest of the family I had a vision. This was the first time and we don’t even know that I’ll get anymore. It would just make them all worry even more about me and I don’t want that.”
Case only had to think a second. He really couldn’t fault Bear. If their older brothers found out, they would never let Bear serve as an angel warrior and that would kill the empath.
He’d trained all his life for the honor and he deserved to have a shot. “I think there’s a lot that happened tonight we’ll just keep to ourselves,” Case finally said.
Bear looked up, relief on his face. “I guess so, huh? Let’s get out of here. I’m starved.”
“Of course you are.” Case gave him a playful shove toward the door. “This time, you’re buying.”

A Stoneùs Throw: Addi

t’s him.
I Addi gasped a mouthful of the dry, hot desert air and her heart tapped against her chest, a momentary flutter, as a spurt of adrenaline raced through her system. Her eyes slammed shut on the unbelievable storefront display.
Edom. Here in Vegas? I hope not.
Slowly she raised her eyelids, praying what she had seen was an illusion, a trick of the mind from being out in the afternoon heat.
No such luck. The black and white picture in the window was still there.
Ages upon ages had passed since she last had contact with him, but it seemed like only yesterday she held his lean, muscular body in her arms, his cock filling her pussy. Her gaze bore into the photograph’s eyes, trying to read the thoughts behind the roguish grin. How she had loved those midnight blue eyes, so dark they almost appeared black. Years may have passed, but her remembrance of him was acute—how his long, silken, sable locks meshed between her fingers as his soft, wonderful lips caressed her cheek, his teeth nibbling at her ear, at her…
“Do you think they could be twins, Addi? Their resemblance is so close.”
Her friend’s, Emma, voice was small and distant in her mind. The growing warmth puddling in her lower abdomen 325
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
and trickling out to moisten her panties distracted her from any semblance of conversation. Even when Emma tugged on her arm she only absentmindedly glanced and smiled at her.
Within seconds she was tripping over her own two feet as Emma dragged her into the boutique, telling her to look at scarves, to let the calming properties of the store envelope her.
Addi, bringing forth her affectation, her shroud of indifference to the world about her, chuckled then shrugged. “I can’t believe there’s no one around,” she said with a hint of indignation, adding to her ruse, and headed toward the scarves.
“There should be someone out on the floor to watch the merchandise and greet customers as they come in.”
She glanced over a rack of the garments at her friend who already appeared lost in the atmosphere of the shop, which was more than all right with her. Everyone, including herself, had quirks. She fingered an eggplant colored cashmere sash, delighting in its downiness. The long, colorful pieces of cloth were her fetish. She adored the accessory and, if they were around, they attracted her like a magnet.
Pulling the soft, woolen scarf from the stand, she wondered how she never put two and two together, that Miss Q and Emma were friends and that Edom was associated to Miss Q.
She shook her head. She must be losing her touch.
She could only hope Edom didn’t know who she was. Then again, with how much time had passed, Edom probably wouldn’t recognize her, especially today. Totally Gothed out for her band’s gig later, her white powdered face, black painted lips and violet cosmetic contact lenses hid her pale, freckled face and sea green eyes. The temporary black color dye in her medium length, shagged hair, which she had also spiked and tipped with red and blue temporary spray colors, masked its normal copper red color. Plus, the black leather, spandex and spikes galore clothing she was decked out in was a far cry from her usual free flowing blouses and long skirts.
But that’s the price I have to pay to reinvent myself.
“Let’s go take a look at your sick plant,” Emma said.
Addi’s head shot around and she caught the backs of 326
Sanguinary Seductions
Emma and some tall, blonde dude heading toward the back.
She hurried over to the area they had vacated and attempted to see who her friend had headed off with, but didn’t make it in time. Shit. She better know what she’s doing, she thought as the couple disappeared from view into a back room.
Emma was a sucker for anything in need…human, animal or plant. Unfortunately, when she helped the distressed people, they would flourish and, no longer needing her services, they would split. Poor Emma’s heart had been broken so many times. Even she tried to be careful that she didn’t take advantage of Emma’s good nature, since it was Emma’s care and nurturing, which kept her sane in this crazy world.
She toyed with the purple and green rocks Emma had been perusing earlier. She let out a long, wistful sigh, wishing she could perceive what her friend sensed from the stones, but she hadn’t been able to feel anything in such a long time.
Feelings and time. What a hoot. Edom and his brother, Joha, had ruined those commodities for her, which was why she continually feigned indifference in front of others and pretended not to care about anything.
Joha… The blonde… He was…
“See anything you fancy?” A man, who suddenly appeared beside her, inquired.
After her initial start at Edom’s presence and once her pulse calmed, she realized her whole being vibrated to his deep voice. He stood not more than a foot away and she fought the instinct to lean against him, to have his arms enfold her, to have him whisper in her ear like he had many times in the past.
She took a small, almost imperceptible, step away. Too many times she had let that voice wash over her, lull her into an impression of security, let her believe she was loved. She had to keep her cool, couldn’t let him guess who she was since she wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. She glanced at Edom, then back at the shelves. “Nope, not really,” she replied sang-froid.
“You know at A Stone’s Throw—”
“Yeah,” she interrupted him with a satiric smile. “You’re 327
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
only a stone’s throw away from your heart’s desire. I overheard your buddy use that line on my friend.”
“My, but you’re a vixen.”
“Excuse me? Do I know you?” she questioned tersely and with a smidge of distrust, expecting her act and disguise to keep him off guard and not waiting for his answer, she went over to a rack of crystals near the register. On the top shelf on a piece of black velvet lay a beautiful polished stone looking like a tiny pool of blood red ink. Enthralled with the gem, her eyes widened and a corner of her mouth lifted. The fervor enflaming her body over the gem was as good as the high she got from buying scarves. She had to have it.
