Cursed by Evangeline Anderson
(Brides of the Kindred #13)Publication date: October 31st 2014
Genres: Adult, Romance, Science Fiction
Commander Stavros Rii of the Kindred is a Sin Eater–thick black lines cover his back and neck causing him to feel the pain of others. It is a curse that threatens to shorten his life and makes him unable to bond with a female–not that he’s ever found one he wants to bond with. Until he meets Charlie.
Charlie Sayers is an agent with the Earth Protection Bureau– and anti Kindred agency dedicated to ridding the world of the big aliens. Charlie joined the EPB out of a sense of patriotism but she has her own reasons to hate the Kindred.
But she has bigger problems than the Kindred at the moment–the Enhanced Ones have come to Earth and they’re planning to take over the planet, enslave the inhabitants and strip them of all emotion. Charlie can’t have that so she agrees to go undercover with Stavros to find the Heart of Love–an artifact which can destroy their mutual enemy forever.
On their dangerous and difficult mission, Charlie learns that going undercover with your worst enemy can rapidly turn him into your best friend…or your lover. Can she hold on to her beliefs and stay true to herself, or will she lose her heart to Stavros? And even if she gives in to desire, will Stav be able to bond her to him?
Or are they Cursed to be apart forever?
Or are they Cursed to be apart forever?
“You can put me down now.”
Charlie’s heart was pounding—she wasn’t sure why. “I mean, I
really am fine.”
“No you’re not. You’re
wounded. And I must heal you.”
The look in his eyes was beyond
intense as he cupped her cheek.
“But…” Charlie started to
protest, her heart pounding.
“Open to me.” His voice had gone
deep and soft and commanding. “Open and let me heal you,
Charlotte.”
“I…” But further words of
protest seemed to die on her lips as he bent her over his arm and
sealed his mouth to hers.
Charlie gave a little gasp as she
felt his lips press gently but firmly to hers. Then his tongue was
there, tracing the seam of her lips, seeking entrance. She wanted to
pull away and cuss at him—tell him he had no right. Instead she
felt her lips parting, allowing him in when she knew she shouldn’t.
He’s just healing me, she
told herself desperately. It’s
not really a kiss. But it
certainly felt like one, especially when his tongue entwined with
hers and he sucked gently, as though inviting her to explore his
mouth as he was exploring hers.
Charlie gave a helpless little moan
and took his unspoken invitation. God, his mouth was so warm
and he tasted like
cinnamon—cinnamon and some exotic mint she’d never had before.
She could feel the edges of his fangs but this time he somehow
managed to keep from cutting her with them even when the tip of her
tongue danced dangerously over their razor-sharp points. The kiss
went on and on and his dark, spicy scent filled her senses until
Charlie felt like she was drowning in him, being completely consumed
from the inside out.
