The Kyriakis Curse by Eve Vaughn Read Free Book Online Page A

Kidnapping is illegal in all fifty states!”
    “Those are human laws. Immortals have their own laws.”
    “Immortals?” she asked in clear amazement, twisting around to face him. “None of this makes sense!”
    The movement of her ass rubbing against his crotch was nearly more than he could
    take. If she kept this up, he’d make Aries pull over, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be to drop her off.
    Damn. He couldn’t remember when he’d wanted to fuck someone as badly as he did
    Sarah. It would take very little for him to reach around and cup her small but shapely breasts in his palms. He inhaled her scent again.
    She would go into heat soon. He could smell it, and when that happened, Sarah would
    have every unmated shifter within a three-hundred-mile radius sniffing around her.

    “Constantine?” Her voice brought him out of his decadently sinful thoughts.
    “Do you think you’ll be able to handle the truth?”
    She gulped. “I don’t know, but at least I’ll no longer wonder why I’m so different.”
    She was different all right, more than she even realized.

Chapter Four
    Why was she with these two strangers? Men who could probably snap her neck
    without blinking an eye. She fidgeted in her seat under Constantine’s intense gray scrutiny and gripped the cup Aries offered her.
    “Thank you.” She wasn’t much of a coffee drinker, but she needed an excuse to keep
    her hands busy. Hanging onto the cup and stirring the dark liquid with a spoon did the trick, but Sarah couldn’t stand the silence. “Uh, do you fellas plan on telling me what I’m doing here, or are we just going to have a staring contest?”
    Aries answered. “You fainted. I though we’d already established that.”
    “Yes, but we haven’t established why you’re keeping me against my will,” she
    countered.
    “No one’s restraining you,” Constantine interjected smoothly. “You’re free to leave
    whenever you’d like... after we have our answers.”
    She sighed with exasperation, putting her mug down and standing abruptly. “Why
    won’t you two just kill me and put me out of my misery?”
    Constantine laughed. “You seem to have quite a fascination with death.”
    “Not particularly, but there comes a time when a girl has to stop running. I’m tired of living in fear,” she said wearily, pacing the floor. The more time she spent in the room with Constantine, the more her body tensed. She felt a tingling between her thighs she
    desperately tried to ignore. The hairs on the back of her neck rose as he left his seat and strode to her, his intense gray eyes never leaving her face.
    When Constantine placed one muscular hand on her shoulder, Sarah forced herself not
    to flinch away, not because his touch repulsed her, but because it did the exact opposite.
    “Look at me, Sarah,” Constantine whispered softly.

    She shook her head, not wanting to get lost within the depths of his eyes.
    “Look at me.” His command was just as soft this time, but it brooked no argument.
    When their gazes locked, Sarah’s knees grew weak. “Trust us, Sarah. We really mean you no harm. We only want some answers. Are you willing to talk?” He raised one thick brow.
    She licked her dry lips. “And if I do, you’ll let me go?”
    “If that’s what you want.”
    Sarah nodded, looking away. “What do you want to know?” She took a seat again at the table.
    “You still haven’t explained your actions at the gallery,” Constantine said.
    “It was... I mean, it’s hard to explain. I looked at both of you, and it reminded me of...
    of some very bad people or creatures. I’m not sure what they were exactly. Werewolves?
    They’re not supposed to be real, I know, but there you have it.”
    “They aren’t real. Not in the true sense of the world. If anything, you’re more a
    werewolf than we are. My cousin and I are Canis lupis immortus, or just call us shifters, if you
