Demon King’s Desire, Elemental Sisters
By: J.L. Sheppard
Jenna’s lived as a mortal, but is far from
one. Lucas, the demon king, is hell bent on fighting evil. When their paths
collide, she discovers she’s part of a new breed of immortals prophesized to
save or destroy human life, and he discovers she’s the woman he’s been dreaming
of for centuries, his fated mate.
Excerpt:
“Come in,” she said
after he knocked on her door.
He slowly opened the
door and found her sitting on the bed with a towel wrapped around her. He
instinctively turned around dropping the bag with Jenna’s new clothes on the
floor. He closed his eyes hoping to wipe away the memory of her in her towel,
but he couldn’t. She looked so mouthwatering with her silky smooth skin.
Oh God, he thought. “I’m sorry, I thought I heard you
say to come in.”
“I did.”
“But you’re only wearing
a towel.”
“What is it with you
guys and towels? It’s not like I’m naked.”
“No, you aren’t,” he
said, still turned away from her. “But, Jenna, you do realize the effect you
have on men, don’t you?”
“Excuse me,” she said.
He could hear her walking toward him.
“Lucas,” she said. “Turn
around.” He did as she asked. “Now look at me, Lucas.”
Again, he did. He stared
into her eyes and admired the dark brown hue as he ran his hand over the side
of her face, feeling its lovely softness. Jenna was all beauty, he thought. She
deserved better than him, a monster, a demon.
“You are so beautiful,
Jenna. Any man in this world would give up his life to touch you once, just
like this,” he said as he continued to caress her cheek.
She gasped. “I can feel
it. I never noticed it before, but I can feel it now.”
“What, Jenna,” he asked.
“What can you feel?” She could feel what he did because when he was around her,
it was hard to keep his emotions in check and hide from her how he truly felt.
“What you’re feeling… I
think it’s awe.”
He leaned down and took
her lips in a passionate kiss. As with the other times, he couldn’t help
himself. He kissed her, and with equal passion and anticipation, she kissed
him, their tongues entwined in a battle of desire.
