Saving Sean (Christian's Coven 11)
By: Lynn Hagen
BLURB:
In the dark of night, a war escalates within the hidden world of vampires. Haunted by a violent past, Isla Domenici joins the Watchers—a team of preternatural creatures who pursue the Vampire Hunters. Nothing will stop Isla from destroying the Hunters who kill his brethren. That is, until he encounters a human who ignites a passion that transcends the boundaries of life itself. But now an ancient evil has escaped the underworld, and a darkness is on the rise.
Born and raised in a life of privilege, Sean Sloane holds a dark secret. As much as he tries to hide who and what he is, there are some who possess that knowledge and hunt him relentlessly. Fleeing those who want to kill him, Sean stumbles into the Manacle. It’s a dark and mysterious world he never knew existed—a world where he discovers a black-haired stranger who tempts his very soul.
There’s something about Sean that intrigues Isla. He can’t quite put his finger on it. But he doesn’t have time for the human. Isla’s life is already too complicated. Yet, when Sean returns, Isla can’t resist the man. He should have walked away. Isla knows this—especially when an ancient evil escapes the underworld and goes after Isla, which in turn pulls Sean into a world he was never meant to be in. When Sean teeters on the brink of death, it’s up to Isla to either save the man or end his life.

Excerpt
STORY EXCERPT
Standing in the alley behind the Manacle, Isla was surrounded by the heat of the balmy summer night. The moon shone brightly, not a cloud to obstruct its view. A slight breeze rolled down the alley as he slammed the human into the red brick of the building. The man's dark-green eyes glittered with excitement as he thrust his chest out, defiance marking his features.
“You play a dangerous game.” Isla slid a lone finger down the side of the human's face. The man swallowed roughly as doubt began to creep into his eyes.
“Maybe I like danger.” The human quivered beneath Isla's hands. He could scent the human's quickly beating heart, his fear, the rush of adrenaline coursing through him like a thousand lightning strikes.
Isla gave the man a tight smile, keeping his fangs hidden. “The danger you've flirted with before is nothing compared to what I can unleash on you.” He slowly canted his head to the side and inhaled deep drafts of blood just beneath the skin. His mouth watered for a taste.
“Or,” Isla continued, “You have a death wish.” He tightened his hand around the human's throat and squeeze. The grip wasn't meant to cause pain. It was meant to heighten the human's excitement. For some perverse reason, he liked heightening this stranger's pleasure with the roughness of his hands. “You've been watching me for far too long. What is your fascination with me?”
Something scurried inside the Dumpster not ten feet away. A dog barked in the distance. The sound of traffic at the far end of the alley reached Isla's ears. He knew the answer to his question without the human saying a word.
Vampires were built to attract their prey. Their aura drew the unsuspecting in, snared them in a trance, made them offer themselves willingly. Isla liked sex just as much as anyone else. It was an act he thoroughly enjoyed. Nevertheless, none penetrated the thick walls he'd erected around himself centuries ago. He never let anyone in or anyone close. But this particular one drew Isla in and that disturbed him.
His thumb caressed the human's jaw as he gazed into the man's dark-green eyes. He tried to probe the human's mind, but Isla could only manage to grab glimpses and snatches of thoughts.
That was…rare.
“I–I don't know what you're talking about.” The human's throat moved up and down in a deep swallow under Isla's hand. “I was just checking out the people on the dance floor.”
Isla pressed his face against the stranger's and inhaled the man's scent along his cheek and temple before he exhaled on a long breath. “Such a useless lie. Don't test my patience or intelligence, boy.”
The human squirmed under Isla's grip, as if testing to see how secure Isla's hold was. Isla tightened his grip. “Now, tell me the truth.”
The stranger's shoulders slumped and his gaze slid to the side. “I don't know.” He shrugged. “I can't explain the strange interest.”
Isla relaxed his hand slightly. He'd noticed this man's attention months ago, but the stranger had always disappeared before Isla questioned him. His prey was trapped now and the excitement that the human felt projected onto Isla, making his heart beat just as fast.
It had been too long since Isla anxiously anticipated drinking from a vein, too long since the person under his spell made his cock rigid. But this human wasn't under his spell. Isla had used no charms to get the guy out here.
It was the stranger who had lured Isla from the club and out into the alley.
“What is your name?” Isla pressed his body closer. The human was shorter than Isla and much thinner. He could snap the man's neck with little effort. But killing the human was not something Isla wanted to do.
Fucking. Now that held great possibilities.
“Sean.” The scent of fear dissipated and was replaced by raw, hard lust. The aroma was spicy and clung to the air in erotic waves. Isla's cock grew harder.
He slid his hand between them and gripped Sean's groin, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Is it sex that you want?” Isla pressed his lips to the man's throat but forced himself not to bite, not to drink the intoxicating blend just under the skin.
Sean's back arched as a low groan escaped him. He thrust his hips forward as he turned his neck, giving Isla ample room to play. Isla became fascinated with Sean's response, with the sounds the human made. Sean's breathing was shallow and as soft as the breeze that blew past them. The human was obscenely beautiful and Isla found it hard to think, to breath. He wanted to see Sean shatter as he climaxed.
Sean shook his head and thrust his hips backward, away from Isla's touch, as if fighting against what he wanted. He pressed his delicate hands into Isla's chest but didn’t push him away. “No, that's not what I came out here for.”
Isla gripped the strands of short brown hair. He yanked Sean's head back and drew in close enough that their lips almost touched. “Another lie?”
“Not a lie,” Sean protested and Isla could hear the truth in the man's voice. The human squirmed slightly as he looked up and down the alley. “That wasn't my intention.”
There should have been a “but” after that but Sean never said it. This creature was very intriguing to Isla. He wanted to know more about the man. “Are you sure?”
“Well, yeah. I mean—I know when I want to have sex. Don't you?” Sean blinked several times at him.
Isla smiled. Sean's words were spoken so innocently that he nearly chuckled. “Yes, I know when I want something I see.”
ADULT EXCERPT
Isla stepped into the tub and sank below the water. He came up and brushed his hands over his hair to clear the water away. Sean was still kneeling there, watching Isla with what looked like fascination. Isla leaned back against the opposite end of the tub and spread his legs welcomingly. Sean eagerly positioned himself between Isla's thighs and let out a pleased sigh as he settled there. His pert ass pressed against Isla's cock like a perpetual tease.
Isla adjusted both Sean and himself so that his hard cock slid between the man's butt cheeks. Sean groaned and his head tipped back against Isla's shoulder. Isla had a perfect view of Sean's pale chest and groin then. Sean's lovely cock broke through the water's surface. The swollen head was wet with more than just bathwater. A wash of pre-cum slicked the slit as well.
“Do you know how beautiful you are to me?” Isla whispered into Sean's ear. He dipped his fingers into the water and lightly trailed them across Sean's broad, muscled shoulders. He lapped up the droplets of water with his tongue. Salt and musk burst on his taste buds.
Sean reached back. His right arm wound around Isla's neck and gripped his hair possessively.
“You have such a sweet body and I can't wait to sink inside of you,” Isla groaned before he turned Sean around to face him. There was no lubricant in the bathroom. That was an oversight he would have to fix for their next encounter. Isla cast around looking to find something slick to use. There was a bottle of lotion on the side of the tub. He grabbed it and flipped open the top. The scent of sandalwood floated out of it.
He thickly coated the fingers of his right hand with the creamy stuff. Sean watched him, his breathing becoming heavier and more frantic. Isla knew that sometimes just the anticipation was enough to get someone off. He dipped his slicked hand beneath the water and moved it around to Sean's buttocks. He knew that he would not have a lot of time before the lotion washed away, so he would have to use it liberally and stretch Sean as well as he could.
Sean's eyelids fluttered shut and an almost amazed expression crossed his face. “Fuck. You're touching me.”
Isla's fingers played with Sean's opening. Sean reached for and gripped Isla's shoulders. His fingers dug into Isla's muscles. Sean's proud cock jutted towards Isla's chest. Isla leaned down and licked a single stripe across the head of Sean's cock. The man's essence burst on his taste buds. He shuddered and let out a moan.
“I love when you sound like that,” Sean breathed.
Isla's fingers quested upward. He pushed against the tight muscle that guarded Sean's passage. It would relent to his pressure. It would let him in. Sean breathed in deeply and Isla knew he was forcing himself to relax. It worked. Isla's index finger popped through the outer ring of muscle and he stroked the softness of Sean's inner passage. Sean's whole body shivered in response.
Sean's cock turned a deeper shade of rose as Isla's finger moved deeper inside him. He pushed his index finger in and then pulled it out before pushing back in again, deeper and deeper with each thrust.
Isla squeezed more lotion onto his fingers before he was once more at Sean's opening. He would not give the muscle a chance to close up on him again. This time he plunged two fingers inside. Sean let out a shuddering sigh and his shoulders tensed. There was always a little pain, but then there would be pleasure. So much pleasure soon.
Isla felt his own arousal burn too bright. He knew that if he continued with this for too much longer that he would come before being slid himself into Sean's body.
As he drew those two fingers out of Sean, Isla pulled them apart, scissoring the tight passage. His cock was much wider than two or even three fingers. He had to make sure that Sean was stretched, but he truly didn't know how long either of them could last.
He sank three fingers Sean. His lover's head flopped back and Sean moaned low in his throat. Sweat appeared on his upper lip. Isla thrust in deeper and did not give Sean as much time to recover with each inward push. But Sean seemed to love the slight roughness. His hips moved down to meet every one of Isla's inward thrusts. All the while, Sean's cock curled higher. A bead of pearlescent pre-cum clung to the tip. Isla slid his thumb over the opening and licked the slickness form his finger. Sean cried out and gripped the base of his cock in a death hold.
“I almost just came,” Sean got out through gritted teeth.
“We can't have that. Not yet. Not until I'm inside of you.”
Isla moved Sean's hand out of the way and used his own free hand to form a cock ring around the base of Sean's shaft. He squeezed rhythmically. While he did this, he continued to thrust in and out of Sean's ass. His tongue and teeth though needed something to do.
Sean's pretty pink nipples were right there in front of him. They were already peaked and luscious. Isla fastened onto the right one. He dragged his teeth along the sensitive areola. Sean let out a cry and his whole body trembled. But Sean couldn't come even as his cock strained to do so. Isla had control of his organ. He sucked long and hard on the tight little nub of Sean's nipple while he bore down on Sean's cock.
Sean whimpered. “Oh, God! I need– I need–I need something!”
Isla drew off of the right nipple. He teased the left one with his tongue. “You need my cock in you. That's what you need.”
Three fingers were now easily moving in and out of Sean's body. Isla slicked his cock with the lotion before he eased Sean's hips down. He positioned the tip of his member right at Sean's opening.
“Lower yourself down onto me, Sean. Open yourself fully to me,” Isla demanded.
