Hunter's Surrender (2010) Read Online Free PDF

him. To lose my virginity to the most unacceptable person possible. A hunter." Her fingers brushed over his pounding pulse. "You."
    Her words were a punch to the gut. She wanted him for his reputation. Because he was the best at killing her kind.
    She wanted The Darkness, not the man.
    He turned his hand around and broke her hold. "There must be another way. You should talk to the Paladins."
    Surely the group of powerful vampires could help her. They took down unbalanced rogues, cleaned up any messes that bled into the human world.
    Again she shook her head. "A risk I won't take. If something goes wrong..."
    Damn . "You shouldn't have to open your legs for the worst hunter you can find." He wanted to yell the words, but he locked his jaw and fought to keep his voice even.
    Her eyes flashed. "I'll do whatever I have to do to protect myself and those I love."
    A part of Rand admired that. Dominique wasn't crying, wasn't playing the victim. She was sacrificing a part of herself to save her parents. "How do you know he won't hurt your family anyway?" "Because I'll make my ruination public." Her chin lifted. "If something were to happen to them, the court would look at Vilein."
    There was a core of steel in this beautiful vampire. Rand knew then he'd help her. He'd keep her safe and together they'd find a solution that didn't involve her screwing a damned hunter--even if that hunter was him.
    When someone showed her the delight of making love, it should be someone who cared about her, cherished her. Not a man drowning in blood and darkness.
    "Come on, let's go."
    Something bright ignited in her violet eyes. "You'll do it? You'll help me?"
    "There's another way." There had to be. "You can stay at my place tonight. Tomorrow we'll figure something out."
    He watched the light drain away. God, he felt like he'd kicked her. He settled onto his bike in front of her.
    She shifted, slim arms wrapping around him, thighs hugging his and full breasts pressed against his back.
    Rand closed his eyes for a second and fought for control. He'd spent enough time in the muck to recognize someone, even a vampire, who was untouched by it.
    He was stained, his hands too rough, too bloody. Some part of him knew this woman deserved so much better than him.
    He couldn't take Dominique to his bed. It would be a betrayal of everything he was, everything he fought for, of his father.
    And not because she was a vampire.
    Because she was innocent.

    Chapter Five
    Dominique pressed her face against Rand's back, her hands resting against his hard abdomen.
    The big bike hugged the curves of the desolate desert highway, purring beneath them like a predatory cat. Dominique's hair flew out behind her, the wind in her face.
    Her fingers flexed against the heat of him. The contrast of hot male and cool air was a distracting combination.
    The throbbing of the bike and the rub of her legs against Rand's kept her desire on slow burn. What he'd done to her before...she shivered and rubbed her chin against his shirt. He'd given her the most intense orgasm she'd experienced and it'd been out-of-this-world amazing. She wanted more.
    What if they could just keep riding? Her arms tightened around him. What if they just followed this road wherever it led? Far from Las Vegas, far from Vilein, far from whatever had put the shadows in Rand's eyes. Just the two of them.
    She let the fantasy play for a minute, then she choked it off. Rand wasn't interested in running away with a vampire. And running wouldn't stop Vilein.
    Staring into the darkness, she drew on Rand's warmth. She knew Vilein would come looking for her. She knew it in her blood.
    A shiver wracked her. She needed Rand to take her virginity, then she needed to get far away from him.
    If Vilein caught her here with Rand...her fingers clenched tight, her knuckles screaming. He was a vishuddha, strong and skilled, but Vilein was very powerful.
    Strong fingers covered hers, squeezed. Rand sensed her agitation. Dominique
