Snippet Saturday ~ Villian POV
Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today's theme is villain POV. Check out my excerpt from an oldie of mine, This Spells Trouble, and then blog hop to the blogs listed below. Happy Saturday!
Arianna's a holistic witch who tries to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds her when the Hell's Ball she's attending lives up to its name. She meets a cocky vampire who's creating havoc on her hormones. But he's also her only hope at getting through the night alive.
Jake's a casino investigator, working undercover as a bartender on Halloween night. When a sexy, green-eyed witch becomes the targeted victim for a sacrifice ritual, he'll go to any lengths to save her. Especially when he realizes she may be more to him than just another casual lover.
EXCERPT
Lifting the cigar to his mouth, Armon took a long pull on it. When he exhaled, he blew perfect rings of the fragrant smoke into the air.
His men were scattered around the private room, watching him in
silence, waiting for further instructions.
"Should we find another woman?" Sergio finally asked. "We have
less than two hours until midnight. Perhaps we should—"
"No." Armon waved a hand to cut him off and raised the cigar to
his mouth again.
"Sir, please help me understand why we let her go. She was ours. The moment I bit her, she was ours."
"Yes. She is ours." Armon's mouth curved into a humorless smile. "But knowing that our little witch has connections with Jacob Sealey
changes the situation a bit."
Sergio frowned. "You know the man who took her?"
"Yes. I do." He blew another ring. "He sent the hunter two
centuries ago to kill Lucius."
There was a moment of silence and then growls of fury from his
men.
"We should kill him tonight along with the witch, Sir."
"I agree, which is why I allowed Jacob to take our witch for the
time being." He crushed the cigar out on the table. "Despite that little
show he put on in the alley, our vampire cares very much for the witch."
"Do you really think so, Sir?"
"I do." He nodded slowly. "And I want him to watch while you all
take your turns fucking her. Then I want to see him beg for her life to be
spared—right before you cut her throat and fill the chalice with her life‐
blood."
"My kind of plan." Sergio smiled and looked around the room.
"And then we'll kill Jacob Sealey?"
"Yes. And then we'll kill Jacob." Excitement pulsed through his
blood. "Finally, he will take responsibility for the death of our loving
Master."
"So what should we do now?" another man asked.
"Find the girl. I sense she is once again alone." He stood up and
smoothed a wrinkle on his shirt. "Get her, and Jacob will come."
His men rushed from the small room, and he sat alone with his
thoughts.
One chalice of blood was already filled from the first sacrifice. After
Arianna's blood filled the second, they would drink under the full moon
at midnight and perform the required chant. Then, if all went as planned,
Lucius would be returned.
Yes, it would be a lovely night indeed. The death of the man he
loathed and the resurrection of the one he loved.
