“Devlin, back off or I’m going to bite your balls off.”
Crap, would he think that sounds as sexy as I
do?
Her mind was on kinky sex when she’d just been bitten. Was she as crazy as he was? She threw the blood-soaked cloth to the floor, grabbed the bandages from the medicine cabinet and plastered on a quick bandage.

“I’m worried about you, babe.”

A red stain spread across the bandage. Enough was enough. She’d put herself in danger with this stranger long enough. Determined, she swung open the door.

She registered Devlin’s surprised expression as she charged at him, relishing the fact that he moved as fast as he could to get away from her. He’d gotten dressed in the meantime, and his shirt flew open in his attempt to get out of her way. But she kept at him, punching her finger into the middle of his solid chest.

“I told you to back off and I meant what I said. And don’t call me babe. I’m no one’s babe. Especially not yours.”

Her destiny rests in their hands…

Very Much Alive

True Destiny, Book 1

Kiran Tate and Logan Saeter have been on the run from Oliver Grimm for so long they’ve forgotten what it’s like to be free. Ending Grimm’s power games won’t be easy, but this time they have an ace in the hole. PI Jordan Grey, Guardian Investigation’s resident hot shot—and Grimm’s step-granddaughter.

Jordan Grey has her doubts when Logan and Kir show up in her office with a tall tale of how her step-grandfather has framed them for murder. And to top it all off, they’re claiming that they’re really the ancient Norse gods Loki and Baldur, and that Grimm is Odin!

When the two lovers see the sexy detective for the first time, stopping Grimm suddenly takes a back seat to seducing her into their arms. But Grimm never rests, and when his anger spills over onto Jordan, it sets them all on a collision course with a destiny that will rock their world…

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, graphic language, some violence, and hot
male/male/female action. In fact, it could be considered a religious experience.

Enjoy the following excerpt for
Title:

Kir closed the door behind himself and Logan after having seen Jordan onto the elevator. He sighed and closed his eyes tightly, completely mortified.

Fuck. Logan saw my reaction to Jordan.

The knowing gleam in his lover’s eyes did not bode well for the coming conversation.

So it was with some surprise he felt Logan gently push his hand into his hair, pulling Kir’s mouth to his own. The kiss was a languid stroking of tongues, not the usual kiss Logan gave. Logan usually preferred hot, heavy kisses, full of passion and the promise of sex. This one was the kind of kiss Kir preferred.

Soft, sweet, and full of the love they both felt.

“I love you, you know that, right?”

Kir focused on Logan’s face. “No more than I love you.”

“We need to talk.”

Kir closed his eyes again, not wanting to see the pain in Logan’s.

“Hey.”

He sighed and moved past Logan’s body and into the living room. Dejected, he sat on the sofa, his head in his hands. “I’m so sorry.”

“For what? The fact that you’re attracted to Jordan?”

Kir groaned.

“Kir.” He looked up, surprised to see the understanding on Logan’s face. “Me, too.”

He felt a surprising flash of jealousy at that, but wasn’t sure if it was for Logan or Jordan.
Not good…or
very good?
“You want her, too?”

“Don’t sound so surprised. She’s a hell of a woman.”

Kir found himself nodding his agreement. “She took everything we threw at her in stride.”

“If I was her I would have kicked our asses out of my office, gone and had a few drinks, then convinced myself it never happened right after I called to have the carpet replaced.”

“So what do we do about it?”

They stared into each other’s faces, reading the promises they’d long ago made to each other and the new, sudden
want
they both felt. No matter how startlingly strong, there was no way Kir would act on it if it meant losing Logan.

Logan was his everything.

Kir reached out first, cupping Logan’s cheek. “I would
never
do anything to hurt you, Logan.”

“Ditto.” Logan’s face was flushed with pleasure, that demonic grin of his once again gracing his features.

“So, what do we do?”

He watched Logan slouch down onto the floor at his feet, resting his head against Kir’s knees with a contented sigh. “The way I see it, we have two options.”

“Those are?” Kir’s heart rate picked up. He began absently stroking that fiery hair, wondering if Logan was thinking what he was thinking.

“Option one: we walk away from her once this is all over.”

No!

The instant denial raced through his body, causing him to jump.
What the fuck?
He
never
had that reaction to losing anyone or anything…other than Logan.

It didn’t help that Logan started to chuckle. “Thought so.”

“Option two?”

His heart was in his throat right up until Logan looked up at him with a leer. “Don’t you just love the French?”

Kir blinked. “Huh?”

“They come up with words for the most amazing concepts.”

“Like?” Kir drawled. He was pretty sure now he knew where Logan was going, but he wanted confirmation before he said anything.

“Ménage a trois. It has such a sexy ring to it, doesn’t it?”

“
Permanent
ménage?” The words had left his mouth before he even realized the significance of what he was saying. Something about Jordan just…felt
right
.

Logan’s expression turned serious. “I’m not sure yet.” He shook his head, smirking. “But tell me you aren’t already a little in love with her, and I’ll call you a liar. I mean, damn. She’s got a smart mouth, hot body, bodacious ass, and she’s clever as all hell. And she wants
both
of us.”

Kir opened his mouth to say the words and found them stuck in his throat. “Damn.”

“Ditto.”

“How the hell did
that
happen?”

“I don’t know, but it did.” Logan was frowning again, this time in confusion. “It’s like we’ve found something we didn’t even know was missing. But if you asked, I would walk away from this. You know that.” For the first time, Kir saw Logan’s uncertainty peek through, reminding him of the broken man Loki had been after Baldur freed him from the mountain. The reckless youth he was had been burned away by the snake’s acid, leaving behind a damaged man who tossed and turned at night, screaming denials as he relived everything over and over again. It had taken Kir a long time to ease his lover’s torment. He also knew their relationship was the foundation the now confident, cocky man who was
still
inclined to take risks stood on.

Which was why he’d been so upset about his reaction to Jordan. But knowing that Logan felt the same eased that guilt

Kir thought about taking Jordan and making her theirs. Thanks to Logan’s ability to shift genders as well as shape, Kir had been happily bisexual for centuries now. He’d felt no need to go outside the relationship when Logan could, literally, be everything and anything he needed. Logan, on the other hand, hadn’t been able to explore that side of himself with Kir, since Kir couldn’t change his shape. He knew that sometimes Logan longed for soft, scented flesh, rounded breasts and bellies, all of the things he’d given up when he’d pledged himself to Kir. But Logan, for all his wild youth and unhappy marriage, hadn’t cheated on him once. And not once, through all of the long centuries, had either of them had the urge to add a third to their relationship.

Now, with the advent of one small, half-human woman, all of that was about to change. He could give the touch of a female back to his lover,
and
have them both for himself. He thought back to the odd feeling he’d had on the beach, that something was about to happen that would change them, and felt that sensation once more before it settled into a comfortable purr.

He saw the relief on Logan’s face as he nodded his acceptance.

Jordan was theirs. Now they just had to seduce her to them.
