1: Kyriakis Curse

    Opening her mouth to do just that, she was shocked when his lips covered hers. She
    began to hammer his arms and any part of his body she could reach with her balled fists.
    Dear Lord, he was probably a killer and a rapist!
    Even though she had above-average strength, nothing she did seemed to faze him.
    Then something incredible happened. As his tongue slid between her slightly parted lips, her body began to respond to him.
    A buildup of heated sensuality started at the base of her spine, slowly moving through her body, and made Sarah melt against the insistent pressure of his mouth. Her pussy tingled with sexual awareness, something she’d never allowed any male to get close enough to do before. Sarah couldn’t even think of a man who could ever have ignited such a burning need within her so instantly.
    His large hands cupped her bottom, pulling her against him. Sarah felt the outline of his hard cock against her thigh. Unable to help herself, she dug her fingers in the thick mane of his dark hair and thrust her tongue out to meet his. He tasted tangy and masculine, and she wanted more.
    Suddenly, he shoved her against the building, pressing hard. Sarah’s nipples tightened to stiff pebbles, aching to be released. She finally tore her mouth away to take a much-needed breath and saw something that frightened her to the core.
    The stranger’s eyes were no longer human. His pupils had constricted to tiny pinholes, and the irises were a deep, sinister yellow. What the hell?! This couldn’t be happening. He was one of them!
    Sarah managed to wedge her hand between their bodies and thrust with all her might.
    This apparently took him by surprise; she doubted he would have budged an inch otherwise.
    Taking advantage of her freedom, she turned to flee, only to be caught in the arms of the second stranger.
    His scent was similar to his companion’s and distinctive. He had to be like the other one! She struggled and clawed at him, trying to escape.
    “Let me go!” she screamed, bringing a sharp-heeled boot down on his foot.
    “Shit!” he exclaimed, but his grip didn’t loosen. “Stop it. We mean you no harm, but if you step on me again I just may change my mind.”
    The one who’d kissed her soundly approached them, his eyes now a dark shade of gray.
    “Relax; you’re more in danger of hurting yourself than you are from us.”
    “In case you two goons haven’t figured it out yet, I’m not interested in talking to you.”
    Gray Eyes smiled. “That’s too bad, sweetheart, because you don’t have a choice.”
    Despite what he said, she didn’t believe things would end well for her. How could she have responded to him when she knew he must mean her harm?
    Sarah twisted and writhed, but to no avail. She knew she would have been kidding
    herself if she really thought it was possible to wiggle herself loose, but she still had to try.

    Dammit, this second stranger was also much too strong. Sarah faced the fact that her time had come, that they had finally caught up to her, but she never could have imagined her life would end like this, in the back of some alley. Did these men intend to rape her before killing her?
    Deciding to hang onto her dignity the best she could, she stopped her struggles and
    raised her chin. “Do what you have to do, but make it quick. I’m not going to beg for my life.”
    Gray Eyes frowned, then raked a hand through his dark mane. “What are you talking
    about?”
    “You plan on killing me, don’t you? Then go ahead; I’m not afraid of you.” She was
    terrified of them, but she would be damned if she admitted it.
    “Aries, let her go.”
    “But she might run.”
    “I think she knows if she does, we’ll only catch her.” Gray Eyes glanced at her. “What’s your name?”
    Sarah’s lips tightened mutinously. He had to be crazy if he thought she’d give that
    information so easily.
    Gray Eyes chuckled, walking back to her until he was mere
