When Gray Met Styx.
Or When Hardhead Meets Hardass.
Time: 4:30 a.m.
Place: Atlantic City Boardwalk
Reason: Vamp Territory Meeting
*It’s after hours – even for vamps. All the blood suckers in attendance have returned to where they came from. Well.. all but two. Maybe they wanted a look at the ocean. Maybe they wanted to see what all the fuss was about regarding that salt-water taffy shit. Whatever it is, they can’t avoid each other. As they each claim a small section of boardwalk, both smell blood in the air. Not with confrontation, but with a curiosity about one another..
Gray: <leans back against the bench> So – you up for a little, ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours,’ Anasso?
Styx: Oh, it’s on.
Gray: <laughs> After the night we’ve both had, all the fang gnashing and aggressive hot air, a friendly little sparring session might be just the thing.
Styx: When I spar there’s nothing friendly about it, amigo. Of course, if you impress me I might let you live.
Gray: Mmmm – someone did mention you had a big sword to play with. <grins> Maybe it was the human woman who writes all those pretty stories about you.
Styx: I’ll show you mine, if you’ll show me yours. <smirk>
Gray: <laughs> Mine is pretty tied up and twisted in a lot of political bullshit. Trying to sort it out, do what’s fair, take what’s ours by right. And by ‘ours’ I mean the Impures. I’m the leader of the Impure vampires in my world, by the way. <cocks his head> Any opinions on non-pure bloods?
Styx: A vampire is judged on actions, not bloodlines. <runs finger down the edge of his sword> Cross me and I’ll lop off your head. Stand at my side, and you have my loyalty forever.
Gray: I’m the same way. You sound like a real upstanding asskicker. You have a mate?
Styx: Darcy. She is the reason I was created. She is my heart.
Gray: My female’s name is Dillon. She’s beautiful, sexy and impossible. <runs a hand through his hair, frustrated both in mind and in body> Females of any species are impossible to understand, but the one I’m bound to is particularly problematic.
Styx: I feel ya, brother. I’ve come to believe that mates are fate’s way of humbling an arrogant man.
Gray: How did you tame yours?
Styx: The question is: How did she tame me? I was the biggest, baddest thing going, then a tiny pureblooded Were smiled at me and I was putty in her hands. Pathetic.
Gray: <laughs, glances out at the ocean> Then we’re both pretty fucking pathetic. My jaguar’s smile takes me to my knees – literally. I tried to threaten her with a leash and collar, but I think she liked the idea.
Styx: Ha. A female who can stand up to you. She sounds perfect for you.
Gray: Maybe not perfect, but right. You know? My blood and her blood are meant to fuse. Chemistry…it’s a wonderful, frustrating and hot headed bitch. <lifts his chin in Styx’s direction> I hear through the Vein Vine you’re a pretty loyal bloodsucker?
Styx: I’ve learned the hard way that no man, no matter how powerful, can survive without a family he can trust. I would sacrifice anything, even my life, to protect them.
Gray: I would die for my Impure brothers and sisters, so I understand.
Styx: With strength comes responsibility. We may not always want to shoulder our duties, but we never turn away.
Gray: <nods, then catches sight of something in the distance> My ride’s here. Unless you’re up for a double date, I’m going to split. Take care of that scowl on my female’s face, if you know what I mean.
Styx: Tell her I have a leash and an extra set of handcuffs if she wants to do a little taming of her own. <wink> Oh, and if you need a gargoyle, I have a three foot pain in the ass I’m trying to get rid of. Just saying…
Gray: <laughs and offers the male a quick fist bump> Good to meet you, brother. If you’re ever in town, look me up. Impure blood goes down smooth and easy – and I’m buying.
Styx: You’re on, brother. <low chuckle> Especially the part of you buying.
Eternal Beast
A Taste of Blood
Ever since his abduction by the Eternal Order of Vampires, Gray Donohue has finally found his true calling: vengeance. He will stop at nothing to bring his fellow Impure vampires the freedom they deserve. Now if he could just release his primal need for the beautiful vampire who saved his life—and rules his thoughts and desires…
After nearly killing the senator she was assigned to protect, Dillon is now in mortal danger. The jaguar within her has been unleashed, and she can no longer control it. Sex is the only thing that can tame her shift. And Gray is the only man who can make her surrender to a passion strong enough to overpower her inner beast. But she doesn’t want to surrender—she wants her life back. Because she is determined never to belong to anyone, especially not Gray—the male whom destiny claims is her mate
Darkness Everlasting
Darcy Smith always sensed she was different from everyone else – if only she knew how different. Possessing a secret strong enough to end an entire race of demons, Darcy unwittingly becomes a pawn in an epic battle between the vampires and the weres as she discovers a new world filled with ecstasy-and dark passions.
Consumed with lust for Darcy, Styx – the Anasso of vampires – will do everything in his power to keep her out of the lair of Salvatore Giuliani, the deadly leader of the weres. But protecting the woman he loves could cost Styx the ultimate price.
Salvatore Giuliani knows time is running out for the weres. Pushed to the brink of extinction, he will stop at nothing to make Darcy his ultimate conquest and queen – for she alone holds the key to his survival. But which of these men can Darcy truly trust? For all it takes is one bite to plunge her into a lifetime of servitude – or a lifetime of pleasure.

i love the interview between the two very different vampires. well done ladies. i think styx is still my favourite, theres just something about him which makes me sigh , but gray looks such a good 1 as well cant wait to meet him. wish tou well ladies with your writing. thanks for the giveaway
Hello,
I find it funny seeing them see. They are both alpha males who know their stuff and yet melt when it comes to their females. When reading, it’s easy to forget how they are words on a page to the actual reader and not real life men. When each story ends, i can’t wait to find out what’s next in store. I’m glad they met and can’t wait to see what they both have up their sleeves next.
Alex- LOVE your books, so hard to put down and can’t wait for the next installment
Laura- LOVE your books too and can’t wait to read your newest release (and go back to read from the beginning lol)
I love the Mark of the Vampire series but haven’t gotten around to Guardians of Eternity. It is, however, on my overwhelming TBR list. Loved the interview, ladies! Thanks for the opportunity!

They both sound like typical Alphas! I haven’t met either one of these men yet because I just started Alex’s series. And I haven’t read Laura’s books, though I’ve definitely heard of them. I guess I’ll be meeting both of them soon enough! Thanks for the contest 🙂
I have loved the Guardians of Darkness series since book 1 and now I will check out Grays book. 😀
Awww. They’re comparing their loves. It is so sweet!
