~teaser from Marked by Moonlight
Another crack ripped through the air. Seriously, this never got old. The sight was as entrancing as it was powerful, a spectacle that never ceased to amaze and captivate him entirely.
As more fragments fell away, then disappeared into nothingness, Ward’s enormous leathery wings, glossy and smooth, unfurled to their full majestic span.
The scent of ozone and electricity filled the air as Ward’s wings spread, the palpable energy of the storm mingling with the sweet musk of gargoyle. Or at least of his gargoyle.
Kayden glanced at the night sky. Yup, that was one badass storm heading their way.
Ward’s body twisted and morphed, muscles rippling under his midnight-blue skin like waves. Color reappeared as soft blue veins surfaced on his shoulders, then extended to his arms and chest. Gradually, it spread downward.
A low, guttural growl emanated from Ward’s throat as he stretched, working the kinks out as his muscles adapted to his newly revealed self. His skin was now a smooth midnight blue instead of gray stone.
“Good morning,” Ward rasped.
Kayden shivered. That voice sent little sparks of pleasure through him every damn time. So deep and so sexy.
“Good morning.” Kayden reached out and touched one of Ward’s wings. The sensation of static electricity buzzed through Kayden’s fingertips, his power reacting to his mate.
That never got old, either. Did it hurt? No. Did it make him tingle? Oh yes.
Ward leaned in, brushing his lips lightly across Kayden’s, a teasing kiss that deepened into something more, leaving Kayden breathless.
“I’m glad you’re here,” Ward murmured once he ended the kiss.
“Where else would I be?” Kayden grinned up at him. “Besides, you did promise me breakfast.”
Ward chuckled, folding his wings neatly behind him. “Then let us go before the storm gets here.”
