The Warrior Vampire Read Online Free PDF

she’d have to put him down. Knowing his name wouldn’t make that any easier. “I don’t need or want your name. All I want to know is how you knew who I was, why you think I need protecting, and how you came by the magic, so I can decide what to do with you.”
    â€œAside from my good looks, I’m not sure what magic you’re referring to.” Gods, this male was insufferable! Arrogant, even at a disadvantage. Naya choked up on the hilt of her dagger and centered her energy, lest her own magic echo her emotions and become uncontrollable.
    â€œHow do you know about vampires, female? And what are you that you could so readily identify me?” That half smirk returned to his mouth, drawing her eyes away from his. His voice dropped to a smooth, mellow purr that made the tiny hairs on the back of Naya’s neck stand on end. She felt that tug in her stomach again, a rush of excitement that had nothing to do with danger. Well, maybe it had a little bit to do with the danger. Sexy bastard.
    He thought he could control the situation. Manipulate her with his cocksure attitude and charming smile. Wasn’t going to happen. Naya strolled to the window and let her fingers slide down the length of the blinds, enjoying the way his eyes narrowed and his brow pinched at the zip of sound. “You have fangs. I could sense the otherness in you, beneath the magic you’ve stolen. Silver doesn’t seem to agree with you, though it glints in your eyes often enough. Of course, we could always put my theory to the test. Let a little afternoon sun in and see what happens.”
    His smile faded and he opened his mouth to speak. Before he could get the words out, her cell rang, interrupting him. Damn it. Whoever it was had stellar timing. She made her way back to the bed and leveled the dagger at his chest. “Make a peep and I’ll gut you,” she warned, careful this time not to let the blade make contact with his body. She checked the caller ID and rolled her eyes before answering, “What’s up, Luz?”
    â€œPaul told me to call and tell you to get your ass over to his place. I could be wrong, but I think he wants to see you.” Her cousin’s tone was much too light and playful to make Naya anything but livid. As her apprentice Luz was sort of a personal assistant as well, but she had a wild streak that drove Naya crazy. Probably why Luz always went out of her way to be a sarcastic pain in the butt.
    â€œTell him I’ll be over in a couple of hours.” She didn’t have time for Paul’s bullshit right now. She eyed the male chained to her bed, that amused half smile playing on his lips. “Better make that three.”
    â€œUh-uh. Not gonna happen. Noway, nohow. Sorry, Cuz.” How many more ways could Luz get her point across before Naya throttled her? Naya suspected her cousin was pressing her luck just to find out. “Paul said if you’re not here in fifteen minutes he’s sending Joaquin to pick you up.”
    Shit . The last thing she needed was to have Paul’s son out looking for her. Joaquin would head straight for her apartment and there’d be trouble if he didn’t find her there. He’d go out to look for her and wouldn’t stop until he found her. Naya couldn’t leave now, though. Not when she had this unknown element—very male, very muscular, very gorgeous unknown element—strapped to her bed like a sacrificial offering to some sex goddess. Joaquin didn’t know about her house away from the tribal block and Naya wanted it kept that way. Especially since if Joaquin got a glimpse of the male chained to her bed, he’d go ballistic. If she wanted to keep her secrets protected, she had no choice but to leave. “Fine. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
    â€œSee ya then, chica, ” Luz chirped before she hung up.
    Great. Now what in the hell was Naya supposed to do? She eyeballed her
