Chapter One

It isn’t over between us. Not by a long shot.

Kia Montana hid a smile as she rolled up her sheer stockings and clipped them to her lace suspenders. Pushing her feet into the high-heel shoes she’d tossed aside so carelessly the night before, she glanced over at the gorgeous man sprawled out on her hotel bed.

Passion emanated from him, scorching and hot. She gave him a cool smile, resisting an impulse to sashay over, lean forward and trace her tongue along the salty warmth of his collarbone, and down over the hardened buds of his dusky nipples.

Even harder to withstand was the urge to sink her fangs into his delectable throat, taste the pulsating warmth of his essence while he brought her to climax once more.

She breathed slow and deep, and his glittering, gunmetal eyes held her gaze when she said, Sorry, but I don’t do relationships.

Don’t apologize, he drawled. And as she slipped into her crimson lace bra, a savage light sparked deep in his stare. I know how to change your mind.

Her nipples, still tingling from his mouth and clever hands, hardened under his scrutiny as she clipped the bra into place. Her pulse jumped, but it was his declaration that kickstarted her heart into high speed.

She inhaled slowly, gaining control. Oh? she queried with an Oscar-winning note of boredom.

You want access to all of Sydney’s underworld places. As your escort, I can offer you that. He smiled at her silence. A ticket to where only an exclusive few have been.

Her heartbeat surged into a frantic gallop as excitement writhed deep inside. When she’d seen him at last night’s shindig, moving through the crème de la crème of the Sydney crowd as if he owned each and every partygoer there, her instincts had clamored.

He held the key.

She kept her face an impassive mask. This could be her one opportunity to get close to Sean Maximillus, the reclusive, centuries-old Vampire Lord.

She managed an idle smirk. Running short of eager, beautiful young women to parade around?

A crack of laughter shot from his sexy mouth. Quite the contrary. His gorgeous gray-blue eyes drank her in. Apart from your obvious charms—he shrugged—you intrigue me. He sat up, dark hair tousled. Abs rippled beneath his golden skin while he ran an outstretched hand over a strong jaw already shadowed with growth.

Such masterful hands, she mused. They’d stroked and caressed her in all the right places, until she’d quivered with lust and undulated with pleasure. She forced back the memory and a sudden, feverish ache. It would be all too easy to surrender to
