Wicked Lord: Part One
“He'd felt her body fall limp over his shoulder. Sweat strafed his temple with the effort he used to refrain from jerking to a standstill, to lick the blood he could smell like a lover's scent, husky and cloying in a cloud around them. Yet he realized she was too delicate to carry as he was. He stopped his near-running pace and lifted his senses to the immediate surroundings and then the woods beyond.
The foul creature that hunted human women, and strangely not for their blood, he thought, was g...one from the woods. The monster's last bloody corpse was to the east of where he stood and his own horse was straight ahead. Trinity felt his younger brothers' attentions were elsewhere and that was good, because this newest dilemma of one virgin's blood scent might be hard for any of the Blacknall brothers to resist.
