So fucking be it. “When the blood starts pouring, just stand back, got me? Don’t interfere and don’t try to stop me.”
Her eyes widened. “What are you?—”
“I’ll do what has to be done.” Always did. “No innocents will be hurt.” His one rule. “Just...stand back, okay?”Don’t try to stop me.
And, hell...don’t fear me.
He wouldn’t cross the line. Hadn’t, in years.
Because the one time he had lost control, the beast had run wild.

The guy was looking for a hooker.
Erin sat beside Jude, her lips pressed together, as he cruised down the strip she’d never visited.
Oh, she knew this particular strip was there. It just hadn’t been on her list of places to visit in Lillian.
“Uh...can we go over this plan again?” Because the fist in her stomach told her this was a bad idea. Very bad.
Searching for a hooker with her lover. Um, not really her thing.
But Jude didn’t even seem to be listening to her. His gaze was on a blonde. A woman with long hair, the shortest skirt Erin had ever seen, and legs clad in fishnet stockings.
Fishnets? Seriously?She’d thought that was just some kind of really lame-ass stereotype, but no, the lady was strutting in her fishnets.
The blonde led the guy with the thinning hair—the guy who’d just hurried out of his car and run to her—into the mouth of the nearby alley.
Jude shoved open his door.
“What are you doing? Jude?—”
“She’s feeding. Come on!”
Feeding?Was that really the right word for it? Erin unhooked her seatbelt and bolted after him. Her stupid shoes didn’t make for the easiest of runs, but she kept up with him, snaking across the street and into the alley that reeked with the stench of garbage and sewage and hell knew what else and?—
And the male was on the ground, head twisted to the side. The blonde was over him with her mouth working on his neck even as her fingers shoved into the front of his jeans.
Erin’s head jerked to the right. Shereallydidn’t need to see this scene. Watching others screw wasn’t her idea of a good time.
“So what, drinking from the idiot isn’t enough? You’re robbing him, too?”
Nowthathad her gaze flying back toward the couple on the ground.
The blonde’s head snapped up and she glared at them with—was that blood dripping down her chin?
The man on the ground gave a weak moan and whispered. “Don’t...stop...don’t?—”
“Get out of here!” the woman screamed, her barely covered breasts heaving. Erin noticed that the lady had the guy’s wallet in her right hand. Ah. Sothatwas what she’d been looking for in his pants.
Jude took a step forward and a rat raced across the alley.
Not my kind of place.Erin braced her legs apart and tried to look like she wasn’t in the middle of hell.
The woman swiped the back of her hand over her mouth, leaving a red swatch on her chin. “Unless you’re a cop, you ain’t got no business?—”
Jude growled. A low, menacing rumble that wasn’t human. Not even close.
