Once more I'm sharing a snippet from A Dragon's Heart, A Demon's Blood. Last week we finished with
I've skipped a few lines in whih the Demon Queen tries to seduce Adrian before telling him her offer, what follows is Adrian's reaction.
BTW, to those who celebrate: Happy Halloween!

Tired of her games and careless
for his life, Adrian
got on his feet. His reward was a barely audible gasp from the queen. Zendaya was a splendid succubus and she
knew just how to stoke the male ego. It was quite a shame she was bothering to
waste her charms on him. Facing her head on, he gazed into her eyes.
Interesting, how they had changed to a shade of purple. The color of passion
for the demons, he recalled a previous lover telling him. Unimpressed, he
squared his shoulders, planted his feet firmly on the ground and crossed his
arms over his chest. Enough.
“What is it you have to offer me,
sugar, besides the obvious?”

A Dragon's Heart, A Demon's Blood
He is a shadow in the dark, smelling your scent and sensing your fear...
Legendary bounty hunter Adrian Ormonde is no ordinary man. His life is filled with secrets and questions, blood and lust. His only concern for 150 years has been survival and discovering the truth behind his demon-dragon nature.
Until he meets his new assignment: Victoria Green.
Victoria Green has felt eyes watching her every move ever since she can remember. Then, Adrian appears. The eyes vanish but new dangers arise as she falls for the mysterious hunter. Cast into an ancient conflict between dragons and demons, Victoria must trust Adrian’s skill to be enough to protect her from both the outside world and that which grows within her.
Chance brought them together but will love and passion be enough to keep them joined? Or will the other forces at play in the dragon-demon worlds destroy them forever?
