![]() Night Shift
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: PROLOGUE “What are you doing here?” The tension around me palpable, she hurried aside to let me enter before closing the door behind us. My blood boiled. My skin crawled that she’d let him do that to her. I had to get rid of it. The taint. Purify her. “What have you done? You’re mine, Evie. I told you, when I came back, you’d be mine and now look at yourself.” Disgust was as clear in my voice as it was in my expression. “Wh-whatever it is…we can talk this out,” she stuttered, her feet inching her backward as I followed her movements. Reaching to the small of my back, my fingers wrapped around the grip as I pulled it from its sheath. The eight-inch blade caught the glint of the afternoon sun, mesmerizing me, causing me to admire the play of light against it before I focused on the woman before me. Her eyes shone with terror. “You don’t…” She shook her head left to right, swallowing hard, stumbling against the side table next to the sofa. “You don’t have to do this.” She righted herself. “We can still be together. Now that…now that you’re back–” I shot her an incredulous look. Did she think me a fool? “You’ve gone and done the unthinkable. You had his child!” I hollered, my knuckles gripping the knife tightly. “This is the only way…the only way to get rid of the stain.” Her steps froze momentarily. “Stain?” “It’s what I should have done a while ago,” I spat, cornering her as her steps were halted by the wall at her back. “What you took from me…what should have been mine,” I raged, “is what I’ll take from you.” One moment my eyes darted toward the hallway where I knew the devil lay in slumber, and the next, Eva Peters was making a mad rush toward the door that separated me from saving us all. “No!” she panted. “You’re crazy!” If she only knew. “Move, Evie,” I growled, “it’s the only way.” “She’s not here. Please!” Tears streamed down her face, her body shaking with fear. Using the tip of the blade, I ran it over her soaked cheek, the metal sharp enough to catch on her ivory skin, causing a streak of blood to suddenly materialize. I felt lighter instantly. Powerful. In control. A feeling I hadn’t had in quite some time. Manning my knife, I proceeded to run the tip of it down to her bottom lip, nicking it just enough for another bubble of her essence to form. “Mmm…” I groaned, leaning forward to press my front against hers, taking the time to lick her damaged lip, then whispered my new realization while rubbing my impossibly hard cock against her stomach. “I was wrong. This…” I ran my finger through the blood on her cheek, watching its movement, “is what I need, Evie.” The sadness was overwhelming as I stared at the beauty laying limp and lifeless beneath me. The rage I’d felt had all but dissipated with each slice of my blade through her flesh. Like a hot knife through butter, each time blood began to pour out, a weight lifted within me. What once held pleading in her eyes, was now long gone. She was nothing but a piece of art, trussed up by her silk scarves, a vessel conveying my message. I’d be back… ![]()
