before cuddling Chris close.
Chris snuggled in and rested his head in the crook of Leo s neck. I m going to miss
you.
I ll be around a few more months.
But not downtown, Chris countered.
Leo tilted Chris head up until he faced him. I d like to continue to see you. After
Barb s babies are born, we can see where things are between us. I m not making any
promises, but Seattle has a pretty good art glass scene, I hear.
Chris laughed. Yeah, I ve heard that too.
Leo kissed Chris, a light affectionate touch of lips to lips. Don t borrow trouble. I ve
learned life is too short for that. We ll take things slowly and see where things go.
Okay.
Chris closed his eyes, letting the warmth of the man holding him close soothe him. He
needed to finish up his degree anyway. Leo was right. They had some time to explore each
other and whether or not they had a future together. Leo had already lost one person, but he
appeared ready to try again. Chris had no doubt in his head about their compatibility and if
Leo needed more persuasion before he was certain, well, Chris knew a thing or two about
blowing. He was almost positive he could persuade Leo to see things his way.
Holding Leo tightly, Chris tumbled into sleep, confident everything would work out
just fine.

Excerpt
Chapter One
Shifting the weight of the box to his hip, Aaron Bradshaw impatiently banged on the
side door with his fist, trying not to lose the clipboard he d balanced on top of the package.
With a groan, the metal door opened and a handsome, auburn-haired man peeked out.
What do you want, love? he asked in a thick English accent.
Blood delivery.
Cool green eyes looked him over from head to toe before giving him a lusty grin.
You re not the usual driver.
He shrugged. Guy was sick. I got called in. You gonna let me in or not. This is heavy.
Sure, come inside. The man led Aaron to the back of the club then pointed to the bar.
You can leave the blood there.
Aaron set down the box then slammed down the clipboard with the delivery
paperwork on the bar. He pulled a pen out of his shirt pocket. Here you go. If you could
sign here.
The bartender snatched the ballpoint out of Aaron s hand. He signed on the line with a
bold flourish, but when Aaron went to grab the papers, he kept a grip on it. How about a
kiss, love, or don t they let cops do that on duty?
Aaron tipped back his head and laughed. When he finished, he gave the bartender a
cheeky smile. What gave me away? I thought I was doing pretty well. I did a little delivery
work in college.

The bartender leaned closer. You smell too fucking good, mate. The bloke who usually
delivers blood smells like three month old cigarette smoke. He took a deep breath and
Aaron spotted fangs peeking through the bartender s gums. You, on the other hand, smell
like sugar and sunshine and look like a gay bloke s best dream.
Aaron laughed again. You sweet talker. I m Detective Aaron Bradshaw, first precinct.
Aaron held out his hand to shake. I told them you wouldn t fall for it, but I didn t think it
would be how I smelled that tripped me up. I ll have to remember that. The delivery s legit,
though. The rest of your blood is in the truck.
Banner Hawkins, the bartender replied, shaking Aaron s hand longer than necessary
before reluctantly letting it go. I ll help you unload if you tell me why the cops are trying to
get inside the club.
I need to talk to your master. Rumour has it he might have the answers I need and he s
ignoring me through the usual channels. I d hoped if I got inside, some lovely man could
help me out. Aaron batted his eyelashes shamelessly at the bartender.
I can think of a lot of ways of helping you out, Banner said, smiling, starting with
that kiss.
Aaron couldn t remember the last time a cute guy had flirted with him. It felt good to be
admired and he was more than a little tempted to give the man a smooch despite being on
duty.
The man came to talk to me, a silky voice said behind him. I believe that kiss is
mine.
The minute the gorgeous stranger had walked into the bar, he d known. He s mine.
After seeing the man, Orion knew the detective could easily become his obsession.
I m Orion, he offered, holding out his hand.
Detective Aaron Bradshaw. The gorgeous cop shook his hand. Nice to meet you,
Master Orion.
Orion groaned when their palms crossed. He almost couldn t resist the overwhelming
impulse to yank Aaron into his arms and sink his teeth into the sexy detective s neck. The
urge to sample Aaron s flavour almost overpowered his conscience.

Unclenching his hold took more effort than it should have, along with most of his
resolve. Stepping back, he gave the detective what he hoped was a professional, fangless
smile even though he could feel his teeth trying to descend. With effort, he forced them back
into his gums. He didn t want to scare off the detective. He had plans for the man and none
of them included the gorgeous creature running from the club screaming.
Follow me and you can tell me what you need from me, Orion said. All the things you
need, he added silently. Orion couldn t think of anything he wanted more than to be exactly
what Aaron was looking for.
He barely heard the detective s quiet footsteps despite his supernatural hearing. If he
hadn t felt Aaron s presence behind him, Orion would ve assumed he walked alone.
