Close to the Bone - Chapter 1

Bryana moves through the city alone, looking for someone new. She finds an estate agent who catches her eye and books a private viewing, certain they’ll be undisturbed. The moment the door shuts behind them, desire flares. Bryana tells the woman to strip. She presses her mouth to the curve of neck and bites down, fangs glinting as they break skin. Pain meets pleasure. The agent’s breath hitches, then she drops to her knees, burying her face between Bryana’s thighs, tongue working with sudden, desperate need. Clothes come off fast. Bodies meet on the sofa, legs tangled, mouths hungry. Fingers push inside wet heat. They grind and taste until sweat shines on skin and breath turns ragged. When the agent opens her eyes again, they glow. The venom has done its work. She’s changed. Forever.
