"They're gonna be super pissed," Malcolm observed, shrugging off the glare she sent him.
"Well, what the hell do you expect me to do, Colly?" she called him by his nickname. "I couldn't stay there and go through a repeat of this morning. They're gonna want to know what's wrong with me."
She shook her head, sliding off the picnic table to pace in front of it. A flash of blue and red caught her eye, the swing set beckoning her. Whispered promises of another time in her life, one where she wasn't afraid. Back when she didn't know anything about the monsters in the night. Back before she became one of them.
She could hear the sounds of children, screaming and laughing, flitting through her mind. The glorious, clean smell of summer. The exhilarating rush of running around the slide, desperate to be the next one to go down its heated metal length, wincing when it burned sensitive thighs under colorful shorts.
They would fight over who got to sit on the yellow, laughing duck. His orange beak a bright splash of color, a counterpoint to Mr. Frog with his red mouth on the other end of the teeter-totter. She and Malcolm had spent years here, always the same.
She sat down in one of the swings, the strip of blue rubber conforming to her hips. Pushing off with her feet, she swung back and forth slowly. "When did it change, Colly? When did it become so faded, so rusty?" she asked, contemplatively.
Malcolm shrugged, flicking his gaze around the playground.
"The paint is peeling on the metal. The fence is five different colors from continuously having to paint over the graffiti. Was it always like this and we just didn't notice it?" she mused, kicking her feet up. Looking back at Malcolm, she saw him watching her, studying her.
"Things change, Mel." He met her eyes. "What are you gonna tell them?"
Now it was her turn to shrug.
"You have to tell them something," he said, a hint of impatience in his voice.
Cocking her head, she listened to the sounds of the night. The squeak of the chains as she pushed back and forth on the swing, the rustling of the trees, the slow inhale and exhale coming from her brother. "I can't tell them the truth."
"Why not?" he asked with a huff. Standing up, Malcolm placed both hands on his hips, glowering at her.
"Seriously? You seriously have to ask me that? Uh, maybe because I'm a fucking vampire and I can't even do the whole vamp thing normally."
"They're gonna find out one way or another. It might be better if you just tell them. I mean, c'mon! You can't be the only person to ever have this problem. It's not like it isn't treatable and --" Mel threw out her hand, startling her brother and cutting off his next words. She froze, breathing erratically. Ten seconds went by, incredibly slow.
"Well? Aren't you going to finish your sentence, Malcolm? Pray tell, what exactly could Melaina have that is treatable?" Tristan growled, his normally calm voice ragged. His accent roughened, becoming more noticeable.
They appeared out of the night, separating from the shadows that had kept them hidden from view. Tristan glided forward, followed by the dark, stalking figure of Dougal.
The two men separated, surrounding her.
Dougal slid up behind her, grabbing the metal chains of the swing in his large hands, halting her movement when she tried to get up. Tristan blocked her front, staring down at her fiercely.
Crap, it wasn't supposed to be like this. She hadn't had enough time to come up with an excuse. Stalling for time, she remained silent.
"Uh, guys..." Malcolm said, trailing off when Tristan threw him a smoldering glare.
"Leave us," Dougal snarled.
"Yeah, I'll just be going then. Right... I'll just be..." Malcolm ignored her pleading eyes. Turning swiftly, he walked out of the park, leaving her with the two vampires.
"Now, we can do this the hard way, or we can do it the easy way. But when we walk out of this park, we are going to know what is wrong with you. Is that clear?" Dougal whispered, caressing the shell of her ear with his breath.

“Long Time Coming” by Emma Ray Garrett

Sleeping with your partner and the hired help probably isn't the best idea. Right?

Blurb:
Henley Marks wants nothing more than some personal time with her business partner, Will Atkins, and their inside man, a Felix named Link. However, if her PI business is going to continue turning a profit, sleeping with her partner and the hired help probably isn't the best idea.
Will and Link have had about as much sexual frustration as they can handle. Both men want Henley in their bed more than their next breaths. And they have a plan to get her there.
But when the two men Henley is hot for finally get her between a rock and a hard place, will the outcome be worth its long time coming? Or will it ruin everything the three of them have built?
How about a fabulous ménage excerpt?

***

 “This could go so bad.” Henley turned her head, watching as Will settled beside her.

“But it could be so good. And I, for one, think the benefit outweighs the risk.” Link scootched closer and lifted his hand above the vee of her silk blouse.

Will’s breath tickled her ear and Henley shivered, her eyelids fluttering, her stomach flip-flopping with desire.

“Damn, I hope I survive this.” Henley sighed the words, but both men heard her loud and clear.

“Thank God.” Will leaned over her, his pine and earth colored eyes filling her vision.

Link purred and Henley felt the tip of his claw brush against her chest, just above her blouse. She felt him hook the material against the razor-sharp edge and the sound of cloth rending never sounded so erotic.

“No bra? Fuck, Henley.”

Link’s aroused groan danced over the newly exposed, and tightly budded, nipple of her left breast. She shuddered, but couldn’t look away from the swirling hunger in Will’s eyes. “Kiss me.” She lifted her hand to the back of his neck and pulled his mouth to hers.

The first touch of his mouth was fireworks, cotton candy, Christmas morning, everything fabulous Henley could imagine. Will’s lips were warm and firm, not too full or too thin. His skin was soft, the muscles shifting under her caress when she tugged with purpose, wanting more of his mouth, more of his lips, just more.

She felt Link shift beside her and then her dress slacks and panties were jerked from her body. She gasped against Will’s mouth, her lips parting, and his tongue slipped inside, confident, knowing. Henley moaned as she moved to wrap more of her arms around Will’s body, his strong shoulders bunching beneath against her grasp.

“You’re as beautiful as I knew you’d be.” Link’s voice deepened, the sound low and dark.

Henley moaned again when she felt the first brush of the Felix’s skin against her own. His large hands encircled her ankles then slid upward. He teased the backs of her knees as he passed them, then applied gentle pressure against her inner thighs, asking without words for Henley to let him closer to the pulsing, wet, wanting core of her body.

Will’s mouth slipped from hers as he sat back to take in her bared form. She let him go, allowing her arms to fall to the bed above her head. She felt each man’s gaze as a caress, their intense stares stroking over the full mounds of her breasts, down her torso. Neither of them seemed turned off by the gentle swell of her tummy or the plump flesh of her full ass. She knew the moment their gazes touched on the smooth, hairless skin of her mons.

Henley moaned and spread her thighs a bit more and shivered at the animalistic growl that spilled from Link. Will groaned as he grazed his index finger along the slick, swollen lips of her sex. His touch searched for the heart of her and when the tip of his finger pressed into her body, Henley cried out and Will uttered a harsh, primal epithet.

“Fuck. Link, she’s tight. So tight my finger’s stretching her pussy. And she’s so fucking wet.” Will stroked deeper.

“God.” Henley’s head spun. She’d never heard such frank sexual things from a lover. Will’s words only served to make her even hotter, wetter.

He added a second finger, burrowing those long, strong fingers deep between her legs. It felt so good.

http://www.changelingpress.com/product.php?&upt=book&ubid=1360

Blurb:

In Heaven and Hell, all things are relative. Archangels are both defenders of the innocent and tortured souls. Demons may fight for the righteous or delight in carnage and death. Amidst the forces of light and dark fall the vampires -- not angel, not demon, but born of both and bearing the greatest gift of God: the ability to choose which path they'll follow.
Within the battles and the intrigue, the love and the heartbreak, come along and see how Lucifer's daughter heals the soul of the Archangel Gabriel. Watch as a vampire, born of a demon mother and angelic father, fights to protect others like her abandoned by their creators, and along the way, fall in love with the one being she's sworn to hate forever. Finally, you'll be introduced to a werewolf unlike any you've met before whose submissive nature is both a benefit and a vice for which her Archangel has no ability to deny.
This collection contains the previously released novellas Heaven and Hell 1: Gabriel's Match, Heaven and Hell 2: Redemption, Heaven and Hell 3: Unholy Pact, and Throne of Mercy.

Malina hated her father. He was nosy, bossy, dominating as hell, and if she hadn't loved him so much, she'd have killed him years ago. She ran her long fingers through her red hair. Malina called it slut red, and it fell in a thick, straight curtain to the small of her back. Prior to leaving the room, she took one last look in the mirror. Her large blue eyes shone like beacons against her alabaster skin. She pursed her lips at the image it reflected, regretting she had no way to remove the shadows beneath her eyes.

Her father had called a family meeting. The concept of Lucifer adopting such a contemporary idea amused Malina to no end. Well, whatever he wanted, he could guess again. She had no interest in seducing mortal men, or any men for that matter. Malina wanted nothing to do with soul theft, nightmare making, or chaos creation. She wanted to visit the ocean, read a good book, and eat good food. A frown creased her brow and she grumbled, because more than any of those things, she wanted the right to choose.

What she wanted to do was police the preternatural realm. She wanted to use her gifts to keep all the endless monsters in line. Nevertheless, Daddy insisted his baby girl would not do anything of the sort. He wanted her to join the succubi, to obey the rules, but Malina refused. Either she would become a Protectorate, or she would continue to sit around on her perfect ass all day long.

The career path Malina wanted would put her into contact with the only male who starred in her impure thoughts. Gabriel, God's General, the mighty Archangel, was the image of masculine perfection. The first time she'd seen him, she'd thought he was one of her father's minions. Daddy had corrected her, but not before Gabriel had overheard her question. He'd turned eyes blacker than the bottomless pit on her, and she'd quivered. Her stomach had twisted in knots, and sweat had beaded on her upper lip. Nothing escaped Gabriel's notice, and a frightening smile had curved his perfect lips. Her father shooed her away, and she'd gladly escaped. Malina shivered as she remembered the intensity of Gabriel's presence, wishing for a moment she had stood her ground then.

Heaving a heavy sigh, she made her way to the library, certain a battle with her father loomed. The hallway she walked was wide and tall. Its dark red walls rippled with the souls of those who'd bought entrance into Hell. Their screams soothed her, and the weight she carried drifted away. Agonized cries for mercy made a beautiful lullaby, and for a moment she longed for her mother. Malina felt the need for her counsel of late.

Isobel, Malina's mother, had loved Lucifer with all of her pure heart. Ironically, Gabriel had been instrumental in her parents' meeting. Malina smiled, recalling the story of how Isobel and Lucifer had come together. Her father had told her the tale over and over when she was a child. Their story had helped keep Isobel alive for both Malina and Lucifer.

The story started with God deciding Lucifer needed to find love. So She sent Gabriel to an innocent Isobel. He carried a message from The Divine, asking if Isobel might accept a mission from God. Isobel had laughed and told Gabriel she was a devout Catholic. If God needed her help, she'd gladly obey.

So Isobel had gone to Hell, body and soul intact, and began her seduction of Lucifer. Lucifer told Malina how hard he had fought, but true love won in the end. Though Isobel had died when Malina was five, her mother's memory remained vibrant. Lucifer kept mementoes of Isobel in every room of their home. When Malina was ten God allowed Isobel, who had gone to Heaven upon her death, to visit. Though the time had been short, Malina and Lucifer had relished the reunion. Afterward, Malina had better understood how wrong Christians were about her dad. Isobel's love had given him the ability to forgive which helped him let go of the past. He and God weren't on great terms, but at least She was open to discussion, now.

In the twenty-two years since her mother's death, a lot had changed in Hell. Sure, souls still burned, and their torture still gave joy to both Malina and her father. A grin split her features as she recalled a recent bout of torture. Her father loved to give new souls a real raking over the coals, literally. Nevertheless, demons weren't running around tearing the place up anymore. The Protectorate was a creation of both Heaven and Hell. The two sides worked together to maintain the balance of good and evil on earth. No more guardian angels gone nuts, trying to save every soul. Demons no longer possessed the unsuspecting, making them commit monstrous acts. The undead, shape shifters, and ghosts all fell under the authority of the Protectorate.

In front of Malina, the library door loomed. She'd made the journey without noticing her steps, lost as she was in thought. A masculine arm shoved against the wallpaper, reaching for help. Malina curled her lip and put her hand out, palm up, and the arm rolled back on itself, bones crunching as they broke. A scream of unbelievable terror and pain quieted the other souls for a moment.

"You deserved it." Malina shook her head with disdain. The library door was ajar, so she pushed it open and went in. She shut the door, then turned to face her father. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and anger pulsed in her blood.

"You!" Malina narrowed her cerulean eyes.

Gabriel couldn't stop the lethal smile curling his lips.

"Yes, me." His eyes skimmed Malina's voluptuous body. He wanted to start now.

"What are you doing here?" Malina tried to convey disinterest, pursing her lips and feigning interest in her nails.

"Your father mentioned that you want to join the Protectorate." Gabriel crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yes, I do." Malina's eyes met his. Her voice didn't so much as quiver.

If she was nervous, or frightened, she didn't show it. Her father would be proud. Gabriel was impressed with her composure, but she'd be hard to train. He had no doubt.

"Then let's see if you have what it takes." He held out a strong hand to her. She quirked her eyebrow, but placed her soft, warm hand in his cool, rough one. With a thought, he took them away from the depths of Hell. If Malina had known where they were headed, she might have changed her mind.
