He came straight through the hearth, travelling through the fiery elements of his heritage. Mayhem was close. Writhing beneath the surface, tearing at the restraints, howling to be set free.<\/p>\n<p>Clamping down on his base self, he swept the small front room of his mind, a red haze gathered behind his eyes and found \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re making a mess,\u201d said the toffee-eyed temptress with hands on her curvy hips and chin jutted at the coals littering the stone flooring.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy glanced down and began to toe aside embers. Wait a fecking minute! This was his house\u2013so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>Growling, he took a step forward. \u201cWhere is she?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hailey\u2013goddamn her\u2013stood her ground, threw her shoulders back, maximising the swell of luscious breasts, and arched a slender eyebrow. \u201cI\u2019m not sure how things work where you come from, but where I come from, you catch more bees with honey,\u201d she stated with all the hauteur of a tiny hive queen.<\/p>\n<p>No. Not gonna happen. She\u2019d tricked him once, and that was shame on her. He wasn\u2019t about to give her another opportunity to force the fool\u2019s hat onto his head. For all he knew, she was working with Valazhor. Come to think of it \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did she offer you?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Candy apple lips parted then snapped shut again, a believable impression of affront arranged across her features. \u201cExcuse me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She wanted to play it the hard way, did she?<\/p>\n<p>Dainty hands dropped from her hips and tucked into the crooks of her arms when she crossed them under her breasts. Carnal desire hijacked the moment and served up a confused reminder of plush curves undulating against him, open-mouthed kisses along his neck\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou heard me,\u201d he growled, cursing the throaty throb in his voice. \u201cWhat was to be your reward for distracting me so that the Medusan hybrid could get close enough to deliver Persephone\u2019s message?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anger ignited in her eyes, flaming cognac over toffee, the scent of burnt caramel licking the air. \u201cI don\u2019t appreciate what you\u2019re implying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anger he could do. Anger was safer. Way safer than the alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Closing the gap, Murphy crowded in, using his size to dominate. Again, she refused to back down and craned her head all the way back, daggers in her eyes. Dynamite, as the saying goes, comes in small packages. The masochist in him toyed with the ignition switch.<\/p>\n<p>Lowering his head, he said in her ear, \u201cI\u2019m only going to ask one more time so think carefully before you answer.\u201d This close, her scent was richer, more exotic. Harder to ignore. \u201cWhat was the deal Valazhor made with you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t move, though her breathing became shallower. \u201cOr what?\u201d Hailey murmured. \u201cYou\u2019ll lock me in my room?\u201d She turned her head toward him, her lips millimetres from his, candy scent invading his nostrils.<\/p>\n<p>His mouth watered, and the base of his spine knotted with need. It took greater effort than he wanted to admit to make his brainbox line up the threat he had ready. \u201cOr, I\u2019ll save myself a whole lot of fecking trouble and give you to Persephone myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thick black lashes, swept upward, revealed the brandy fire in her eyes. Her aura in life had read as human. Nothing about her had suggested hybrid, much less witch. Even the background check Ross had him run before allowing her to visit the penthouse revealed little more than a classic case of daddy\u2019s pampered princess. And yet, her eyes burned with a soul fire that intrigued and disturbed him, agitating something deep inside of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you waiting for?\u201d she challenged in a whisper. \u201cDo it. Hand me over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caught in the blaze of her eyes, everything else ceased to exist. In the lull, that thing she had disturbed, rose up. Intensely territorial, fiercely possessive, spiked with a craving so intense\u2026 he acted before thought could catch deed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sharonlee.jpg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sharonlee Holder\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sharonlee.jpg?w=225&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/racheldelafuente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sharonlee.jpg?resize=113%2C150&amp;ssl=1 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>South African, born and bred, Sharonlee Holder lives in one of the outer suburbs of Johannesburg in Gauteng, South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Life is a happy and creative jumble of a husband, three grown daughters, one super cute grand-daughter, three dogs, a cat, and a mouthy African Grey parrot.<\/p>\n<p>Endless hours at the keyboard are supported by copious amounts of frothy coffee and \u2018What ifs?\u2019.
