Eve Ballard, of Ballard Protective Services, is a tough witness protection agent specializing in supernatural beings. Her new client, “Alek,” is a vampire who has been on the run for too long. She tries to push away the heat kindling between them, but finds herself giving in, despite – or perhaps because of – the danger that stalks him.

When their safe house is compromised, Eve and Alek must take off on their own, cut off from the rest of the agency and fearing for their lives. Will they give in to their growing passion? Will they even survive the day?

Warning: contains explicit language and graphic content. This 10,000 word story contains rough, steamy sex between a badass witness protection agent and a hot, dangerous vampire.

I stood by with my brother as the black van sped into the parking lot, tires spinning and spraying dust and dirt as it came to an abrupt stop in front of us. We were far from the main road - we could only hear crickets and frogs and other nocturnal animals in the area. The run-down motel behind us looked abandoned from the outside; at least to untrained eyes.

The van's side door slid open, and two of our men escorted our newest client between them.

A vampire. Hence the cover of night.

I'm Daniel Ballard, my brother said, This is my sister, Eve. We'll be keeping you safe while you're in transition here. The vampire opened his mouth to talk, but my brother cut him off. Your new name is Alek Yerzov. We'll fill you in on the rest later, but you need to settle into that immediately.

I understand. His voice sounded raspy. He must have had a hell of a time before we got to him. His button-down shirt was dingy and rumpled, his straight black hair hung limp and greasy around his head, and he kept his eyes on the ground. Poor guy. The report had said that he'd been on the run for a long while.

It had also detailed the sort of magic he’d been casting to keep ahead of his pursuers. Blood magic. Dark, scary stuff. Nothing anyone in our agency would ever dabble in. It was a miracle the vampire had survived using as much as he had.

You can relax, now, Alek. You're safe with us, I said.

He turned towards me, and I got a glimpse of a dark green eye before he stared at his feet again. If it's all the same to you, Ms. Ballard, I'll relax when the sun rises.

Fair enough, said Daniel, Follow me.

I brought up the rear as we entered the old motel down a flight of stairs through a basement entrance. I set the electronic lock and flipped the mechanical one on the door behind us. I opened the nearby filing cabinet and pulled out a tiny bowl of dried and blessed herbs and a packet of matches. I lit the bowl and placed it on the floor. That would activate the magical lock.

All clear, I called, and Daniel switched on his flashlight. He led us into a stairwell and up to the second story. The long hallway had its old carpeting still, and
