~teaser from Marked by Moonlight, #2 in the Gargoyles of San DeLain
“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.”
They headed down from the roof, the ancient stone stairs echoing with their footsteps. The castle was a maze of corridors and shadowy alcoves, each turn revealing another piece of its old-world charm.
Rich tapestries hung from the walls, their colors muted by time, while flickering electric sconces cast a warm glow across the stone walls. He lived in a freaking castle. How cool was that?
Kayden loved the ambiance, the weight of history that seeped into every corner. It was so different from the sleek, modern world he’d grown up in. Here, even the air felt alive, charged with the presence of Ward and his clan.
“Do you think it will be a bad one?” Kayden asked as they reached the ground floor, his thoughts turning to the storm once more.
“Probably. Feels like it.” Ward opened a heavy wooden door that led to the dining area. “We haven’t had a good storm in a while.”
