Dark Alpha’s Embrace
(Reaper Series, #2)
by Donna Grant
There’s no escaping a Reaper. I’m an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you…I’m a warrior. My unbreakable determination, my backbone of steel define me. As a Reaper who does Death’s bidding, weakness is a word I don’t understand. Until a stunning librarian stirs emotions deep within me I’ve never felt before. Her soft curves blunt the sharp edges of my soul, crushing my defenses – yet make me stronger. But underneath those wide eyes and fierce femininity, she has a weapon, one she won’t hesitate to use. And when the Dark begin their deadly descent, we’ll need each other’s love and protection…or risk fracturing apart.
When he’d first seen her standing there with her dark hair pulled back in a bun so severe it looked painful, her black glasses, and the frumpy clothes, he nearly laughed.
Then Kyran saw her fight. She moved as if she’d been born to the weapon. With her glasses gone, he saw how pale her blue eyes were. They were a beacon in her face, drawing everyone’s gaze to their odd color.
The battle had shaken her tight bun so that long dark brown hair hung straight and glossy down the middle of her back. Kyran wanted to sink his fingers into the length and grab hold of it, to keep her steady as he kissed her.
She watched him with one thin chocolate brow arched. With her hair down, she didn’t look so stern. She had impossibly high cheekbones and lips so full they made him long to have them on his skin.
Kyran lowered his gaze from her beautiful face and unusual eyes. The battle had done its damage to her clothes as well. The top two buttons of her shirt had come undone, giving him a glimpse of the swells of her breasts.
And bright pink lace.
He looked at her plain blue plaid skirt and navy shirt. They were clothes an elderly human would wear. Not a woman like River.
But how he ached. For her.
To have her, to hold her.
To make love to her.
Kyran wanted – no, he yearned – to have her near again so he could inhale her fresh scent and femininity. They way she stood up to him turned him on as nothing else could.
Her pale blue eyes glittered with anger as she held the dagger to his neck. Never had he seen anything so stunning – or wanted anything more.
River.
If they were alone, he’d already have her in his arms, kissing her, touching her. He wanted to feel her melt against him, to feel her give into the attraction that had both of them in its grip.
