Dark romance fan? Tribe of the Undead 3 book series is twisted, sexy, and dark...but its not a romance.
“You don’t understand yet, do you? Let me explain. You belong to me now. Until I’m done with you, that is.”
Hayden ground his teeth, trying to crush the sensation in
his jaw, but couldn’t pull his gaze away from Mattie’s glistening, exposed
body. Tiny icicles clung to the tangles of her hair and flakes of snow dotted
her thighs, bare above the edge of the tights.
“The guy I work for thinks they’re a great tie-in to the
zombie stuff—my piece, the comic convention and the opening of Zombie Rites.
And all that stuff about zombies—”
“Roaming the streets?” she cut in, grinning as she dropped
her hand to smack snow off her limp skirt. Once she got the clumps off, she ran
her fingers across the hem, inching it up her bare thighs.
Hayden glanced at the apartment. Rachelle was not peering
out the window, watching for him. He shifted back. Hayden found himself
watching the flicker of her stubby black fingernails as she inched up the hem
of her skirt. He knew she wasn’t wearing panties.
He took a sharp step forward, ready to shove her out of the
way if necessary. She grabbed his arm and jerked him close enough for her
nipples to brush against him.
“My girlfriend is waiting for me,” he said, pointing to the
third story of the brownstone.
Mattie tossed back her mass of hair, exposing a small black
device tucked into her ear. “I know. ‘Don’t make me wait.’ Isn’t that what she
said?” A cruel smile tugged on the corner of her full mouth as she took in his
expression. “You don’t understand yet, do you? Let me explain. You belong to me
now. Until I’m done with you, that is.” She forced one of her legs between his
thighs. “I’m liking you more and more, so we may be together a while.”
Hayden jerked his arms free and reached for her pale throat.
The skin beneath his palms was wet, slick, smooth. And cold, lifeless.
“Go up there, do your girlfriend,” she said, then shoved him
away and moved toward the wall of the row house. She propped her booted foot on
the cornerstone and lifted herself. She slithered up; her hands clutching the
frost-covered bricks, then paused about ten feet from the ground. “And make it
hot. Because I’ll be watching.” And with that, she crept up to the third-floor
window and nestled under the eave.
