Slake His Thirst

By Setta Jay

Sage has always been a little restless. From bounty hunter to bar owner, she still hasn’t found a purpose she truly enjoys. So, when she’s given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the ultra-exclusive Aletheia resort, Slake, she jumps at the chance to get away and think. As a Mageia whose power is centered in plants and the earth, Sage assumes she’ll be more tempted to see Slake’s magical one-of-a-kind gardens than play with the sexy vampire-like Immortals all over the resort. Only, one beautiful man catches her eye, right before she inadvertently unleashes a savage magic best left dormant.

Lucius is constructing new security plans when he finds himself drawn to a seductive mortal guest at his father’s resort. When he realizes the sexy blonde is a security threat his sister has allowed onto the island, he sets out to learn all her secrets.

When Sage raises ancient magic that could threaten her life, Lucius rushes to save his tempting mystery woman. Only when he nears her does he realize she is the woman he has been waiting thousands of years to find. She is his.

Will the power Sage unleashes destroy her, or does fate have other plans?

Chapter One

Lucius

Lucius gripped the stone balustrade as he sent his senses out to the jungle and down the sheer, jagged cliffs to the rough seas below his suite. The dense forest was bathed in silver moonlight, and nothing that shouldn’t have been there lurked in the shadows. Something had drawn him outside. Twin dots of crimson caught his eye, and the faint whisper of sulfur drifted in the breeze that brushed over his bare chest. The hellhound was close to his side of the resort, which meant a new guest had arrived. The beasts prowled the island until called to scan any new guests for malicious intent. No one was allowed entry to the exclusive resort without their inspection.

He stalked to the other side of the balcony, where he could see the point where the jungle edged the secluded corner of the gothic-inspired resort.

The horizon was a soft layer of blues and purples—the perfect time to impress a new arrival. He shifted his gaze from darkening skies to the stone terrace where guests were teleported in. He noted the sleek black blur of a hellhound bounding back into the tree line. A blonde stood with a single guard, who would have overseen the hound’s task. Lucius tilted his head and wondered who she was. She seemed to have arrived alone. The mortal guests who paid exorbitant fees for the pleasure of consorting with his kind usually brought an entourage. Even from a distance, he could see that the woman was beautiful. The soft waves of her long blond hair whipped around smooth skin, and her snug jeans and low-cut top clung to slight curves.

Had she come there to live out some vampire fantasy? There were a lot of pleasurable rooms inside for just that. As a rule, Immortals were far more sexual than humans, so the
