Oh God. Kisten.What would he say if he knew Ivy had bitten me? I told you so, or maybe My turn?
My breath slipped from me, almost a groan. Trent Kalamack. The obscenely successful, smiling businessman, ruthless bio- and street-drug lord, elf in hiding, and pain-in-my-ass-extraordinaire Trent Kal...
My God, woman. Your aura is glowing. Just admit you like him, bump uglies, and get on with your life!
Money in hand, I glanced up to find Glenn eyeing a rack of stuffed rats. As the salesman rang up my purchase, Glenn leaned close and, still staring at the rats, whispered, What are those used for?I ha...
Minias smiled. Great. Another charming demon. I sort of prefer the insane ones.
