intent to kill?
    Her life was so screwed up.
    â€œLet go,” she ordered.
    â€œNo.”
    Now that had her jerking back to face him fully, her brows lifted. “Who are you?”
    His eyes narrowed. “I told you, I’m Adam Brody, and I—”
    â€œNo.” That wasn’t what she meant. Time to try again. “ What are you?”
    He blinked. “A man who needs help.”
    A man. Maya wasn’t sure she believed that. “For a human, you seem awful relaxed to be here, talking with me.”
    He shrugged. “So you’re a vampire. I’ve met your kind before.”
    Oh, she’d just bet he had. Adam Brody was holding out on her, and she was no one’s fool. “I’m not just a vampire,” she whispered, watching closely for his response as she stepped toward him and brushed her body against his. Mmm, she liked the way he felt. Liked the hard steel of his muscles. “I’m a very hungry vampire.” Her hand lifted and Maya trailed her fingers down his throat.
    She expected him to back away. To flinch in revulsion. Something . But the guy didn’t so much as bat an eyelash.
    Her fingers were over his pulse now. She could feel the blood drumming beneath her touch.
    No empty threat. She realized that she was hungry.
    The wound on her side had yet to close—it’d be several hours before she healed completely. She was still bleeding, and she’d already lost too much blood.
    Blood loss weakened her. It weakened all vamps. If they lost too much, they could die.
    Her fingertips stroked his skin and her canines began to stretch and sharpen. Just a bite. After all, he’d been the one to come looking for her. Just a quick bite, and she’d send him on his way.
    Maya rose onto her toes. Her breath blew over his skin. Her heart began to drum faster as anticipation filled her. She could almost taste him.
    Her lips pressed against his throat. Kissed the flesh. Her tongue snaked out, licked a light trail over his pounding pulse.
    Adam’s hand was still wrapped around her arm. His fingers tightened and she heard him draw in a sudden, sharp breath.
    It was always so easy to make the prey want the bite. She’d discovered after her change that it wasn’t necessary to force humans to submit to her. She could usually seduce men into offering their throats to her.
    At first, she was just a woman to them. She looked human. Her body seemed human. She breathed. Her heart beat. Her blood pumped through her. The prey didn’t realize until too late what she really was.
    But by that point, her teeth were already in their throats, and for the men she’d tasted, well, they’d found it to be a highly pleasurable experience.
    She made it a habit not to hurt humans unless she had to do so.
    Now, monsters, well, they were a different matter.
    Maya lightly scraped the edge of her teeth over Adam’s throat. His pulse raced faster now, pounding harder beneath her mouth.
    Just a taste.
    He pushed her back and stared down at her with eyes that blazed with fury. “You want to drink from me, then you agree to help me.”
    Her teeth snapped together as she fought the blood hunger. He was a persistent one, she’d give him that. And now he was starting to make her curious.
    A man willing to exchange his blood. For what?
    â€œWhat is it that you need from me?” She was really almost afraid to find out. Don’t get involved. She had enough problems to deal with and—
    â€œMy niece. Vampires took her.” His fingers dug into her arm. “I’ve got to get her back.”
    Hell. “How long has she been gone?” Another question she shouldn’t have asked. Because the more she learned, the harder it would be to turn away.
    I’m not a helper. She’d told him the truth when she said those words earlier. Maya had tried that whole helping bit while she was still human. It had gotten her killed in an alley days
