Marilyn Lee - Moonlight Maddness 3 - Moonlight Healing
Raven Monclaire stood near the doors of the large ballroom in the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel. Dancing couples, arrayed in dark suits and beautiful dresses, swayed in rhythm with the pulse pounding music. An hour earlier, the music had been soft, the dancing slow and the couples close together. Her mood had been much lighter -- until she’d shared a last slow dance with her fiancé, Acier Gautier.
After that dance, Acier and his identical twin brother, Etienne, left the reception. Recalling the intimate way Etienne danced with the bride, Treena, grinding his groin against her while he palmed her ass, Raven closed her eyes briefly. She’d prevailed upon Acier to insist Etienne leave with him when Acier headed back to Arizona. If her father had seen that scandalous dance… or if Derek had…
In the past Raven had always been delighted to see Etienne, or Tee, as she’d always called him, but he’d changed over the course of the previous months. So had Acier. Part vampire and part wolf-shifter, Acier and Tee had recently undergone a vampire ritual called the Feast of Indulgence.
This Feast of Indulgence, during which a vampire went from a latent or half-blood status to full-blood status, could be a dangerous time for any human who loved such a person -- as she loved Acier.
She frowned. Not that she was completely human. Although her father was human, her mother had been a Willoni Priestess. Like vampires and wolf-shifters, the Willoni were an ancient race from the Aeolian planetary system. Unlike the other two groups, skillful Willoni could see and sometimes even shape the future.
Raven had discovered that the ability to see the future could be as much a curse as it was a blessing. Her recent visions disturbed and frightened her. If they proved true, there were grim and painful times ahead for her and those she loved most.
At the moment she had more pressing matters to consider than worrying about a future she might or might not have seen or interpreted correctly. The Goddess willing, the weeks and months ahead would not be as frightening as those that had gone before. During Acier’s feast, she’d done what was necessary for Acier to work out his sexual aggression and hunger without harming her or being unfaithful. Acier had recovered from the near madness into which the Feast of Indulgence inevitably plunged a vampire.
The feast still held Tee firmly in its grip. Prior to his unexpected appearance at the church that morning, neither she nor Acier had seen Tee in weeks. The brothers who had once been so close were now emotionally worlds apart. She knew Acier worried about Tee’s mental state. After that indecent dance with the newly married Treena, she knew Acier’s fears were well founded.
But Tee was gone, and she should enjoy the rest of the reception without worrying about what he might do with Treena. She glanced at the large diamond engagement ring on the third finger of her left hand. If things continued to go well for her and Acier, the next time her family gathered for a wedding reception, it would be to celebrate her marriage to the big, handsome Acier.
Then she would be the one looking as if she were floating on air as she danced with their father. She narrowed her gaze and blinked. That wasn’t Treena dancing with their father. It was her other sister, Kiki. So where was Treena?
“Hey, hon, can you do me a favor?”
The man in front of her was tall, well built, and extremely handsome. Small wonder Treena had taken one look at this Boris Kodjoe look-alike and fallen into lust and then in love with Derek. Raven slipped her arm through his. “Of course. What do you need?”
“Treena went to change nearly an hour ago. She made me promise not to follow her. Will you go and tell her to get the lead out?” He glanced at his watch. “I’m going to change in my parents’ room and I’d like to get away in another hour. Tell her if she’s not here by then I’m coming to get her.”
The night before, Treena had told Raven and Kiki that she’d stopped sleeping with Derek six weeks earlier so he’d be hungry for her on their wedding night. Raven arched a brow and looked up at him. “What’s the rush?”
“I’m eager to start the honeymoon. If she doesn’t hurry up, we’ll be starting it right here instead of tonight. Get her for me?”
“Of course. You know I’ve always wanted a big brother.”
“And I’ve always wanted a gorgeous younger sister.”
She kissed his cheek and left the ballroom. As she waited at the elevator bank, she smiled, remembering Acier’s goodbye kisses. They had been deep, sweet, and scorching hot. Feeling his long, thick **** pressed against her as he held her had really aroused her. By the Goddess, she loved him. If her father had seen the passion she and Acier shared, he’d have insisted they get married immediately.
Her smile vanished as she recalled the look in Tee’s eyes when Acier finally released her. Tee’s gray eyes had turned that distinct gold, as they did when he was in what Acier had called prowl heat. Casting a quick look downward, she’d noted the clear outline of Tee’s hardened **** against his thigh.
Flushing, she looked away from the raw sexual hunger in Tee’s eyes to find Acier’s gaze on her. Part of Acier and Tee’s vampire heritage made it acceptable for brothers or sisters to sleep with their siblings’ bloodlusts, or perfect mates. Since Acier had finally accepted his vampiric blood, they both knew she and Tee would eventually make love.
Despite her deep feelings for Acier, Raven shivered with desire at the thought of sleeping with his identical twin. She and Tee had always been close. She thought of his big, warm hands caressing her bare body… a body Acier had only recently introduced to the absolute joys of sex with a well hung, skillful lover. What would sex with Tee be like? Aside from their hair, which Tee wore short and Acier wore in a long, dark curtain that fell past his broad shoulders, the two were physically identical. However, they had very different personalities. What would Tee be like as a lover?
