over her entire body and when she felt him sink his teeth hard into the flesh of the pulse of her throat she knew she was a goner. The second climax took her breath away and she felt the world darken around her.
    When she opened her eyes she was on her bed. Sitting up , she found that her towel was laid over her and she was alone in the room. She might have thought it was all a dream , but her neck ached where he’d bitten her and she could see a red mark on her breast where he’d suckled at her nipple. Angry at both him and herself , she stood and nearly toppled over when a wave of dizziness rolled over her. She couldn’t stand at first and had to hold onto the bed until it passed.
    Making her way to her bathroom, Alexis was cussing the fucking man. What for , she wasn’t sure. It was either that he’d left her after those incredible climaxes or that he’d given them to her in the first place. Either way, he was a dead man if he came around again. She didn’t need any more arrogant , pushy men in her life. One was more than she could handle right now.
    Pulling on the first thing she could find, she was out of the bedroom and on her way to the barn before she could think. Well, she did think , but she wasn’t happy about where her thoughts were taking her. Men, knives , and blood was running rapt with sex , silky sheets , and screaming climaxes.
    She was in her lab later that night when she heard the kids coming across the lot. She had to smile at them. They were a handful , but she loved them dearly. How could she not ? T hey were her sister ’ s children and she missed her more with every passing day. And the children had suffered much worse than her. Especially Darcy.
    Darcy hadn’t spoken a word since the day the police had found her covered in blood and hiding in the barn. Alexis had taken her there when she’d run from the house to find the man, the men in this case , who had killed her mother. She’d only meant to protect the girl , but they all had thought that she’d gone there after witnessing the murder.
    The doctors had told Alexis that Darcy had probably seen the killing of her mother and was still in shock. But Alexis knew better. She knew for a fact that she’d seen her mother killed and also the person who had done it. It had been a shock for her as well to know that a man could kill his own wife and do it in front of his children. But Paddy hadn’t been alone , nor had he been the one to give her sister the final blow that ended her life.
    Alexis had wanted to hit the doctors for their astute observations. She worked with her niece every day to try and get her to at least say something , anything that told her that she was going to be al l right. The children crashing open the door had her racing to the front part of the work area.
    “He’s here,” Tim said with his eyes wide. “He’s comed for us and I’m not going back with him.”
    “Go. Now.” She herded them to the underground levels that she’d had specially made for them. She’d no more than throw n the rug back over the opening when Paddy Booth came in the building.
    “Where the fuck are they? I know that you’re hiding them and I want them right fucking no— ” He stopped speaking suddenly and sniffed the air. “What the hell have you done?”
    His fist hit her so quickly that she barely had time to see it coming much less duck out of its way. She knew she needed to stay alert or he’d kill her. But at some point she couldn’t stay awake any longer.

    Austin went into the kitchen. His mother had come in his office a few minutes ago and said that Gordon was there and he looked pole axed. She thought something had happened , but since he was still staring off into space she couldn’t get a word out of him.
    “I think that girl did something to him. It’s rumored she’s a witch. Maybe she put a hex on him or something.” Nancy Force grinned. “But I’m thinking it might be something altogether
