Ten minutes, Butch whispered into Marissa's ear. Can I have ten minutes with you before you go? Please, baby…V rolled his eyes and was relieved to be annoyed at the lovey-dovey routine. At least all t...
He cleared his throat and reminded himself that if you pissed Her Holiness off, they'd need barbecue tongs to pick up your steaming pieces.
There was pain, and then there was PAIN. This was -Vishous
So I want to share a little news.You getting married? Butch tossed back half the new Lag. Where you registered? Crate and Bury 'Em?Try Heckler and Koch. The Reverend opened his jacket and flashed the...
Butch sighed in relief. Listen, man, do me a favor. Warn me before you pull another stunt like that. I'd rather choose. Then he smiled a little. And we still ain't dating.
Before Butch knew what was doing, V grabbed his forearm, bent down, and licked the cut, sealing it up quick.Butch yanked out of his roommate's hold. Jesus, V! What if that blood's contaminated!It's fi...
You know you were with the lessers, true?Butch lifted one of his busted-up hands. And here I thought I'd been to Elizabeth Arden.
Sorry about the question thing, Butch said to the black robes. But I just... I'm glad I know what's in my veins. And honestly, if I die today, I'm grateful I finally know what I am. He took Marissa's...
The Brother's eyes narrowed. But here's something to keep in mind. You ever hurt him on purpose and I will consider you my enemy.

Marissa came around the corner, looking Grace Kelly-fine as usual. With her long blond hair and her precision-molded face, she was known as the great beauty of the species, and even V, who didn't go f...
V settled back against the pillows and measured the hard line of her chin.Take off your coat.Excuse me?Take it off.No.I want it off.Then I suggest you hold your breath. Won't affect me in the slightes...
When he nodded, the physician disappeared into thin air, and then a moment later, Payne felt a warm palm encompass hers. It was Vishous's un-gloved hand against her own and the connection between them...
Trust me, true?Butch barked a laugh. Last time you said that i ended up with a vampire cocktail, remember?
The male's diamond eyes locked on Payne, and though she hadn't seen him in forever, she knew who he was. Sure as if she was staring at her own reflection. Tears sprang unbidden to her eyes for last sh...
Use me. You've done so much for us- Marissa said.Not.....for you. V said. He's alive because of you. So that's everything.V shook his head and turned away from the wrist. Can't.I need you. I'm sick fr...
Will you let me hug you now? she said roughly.
V had a passing thought that she used the word anyway like an eraser on a crowded chalkboard. She said it whenever she needed to clear off the things she'd just shared to make room for more.
Sister, he murmured, not as an inquiry, but a statement of fact. Brother mine, she groaned... before her consciousness slipped from her grasp and she drifted away. But she would come back to him. One...
All right, big guy, down you go.Oh,yeah. Bed. Bed was good.And look who's here. It's Nurse Vishous.
