"What's wrong? Is it because you don't want to be with a girl," she yelled at me, tears welling in her eyes, "is that it?" I shook my head, a smirk twisting the edges of my mouth. "Princess," I drawled, "it isn't about you being a girl." I stalked forward and caught a pink strand of her hair. I curled it around my finger and tucked it behind her ear. "Then what is it?" she asked, her wide eyes looking at my lips from a brief moment. I sucked in a breath when her lips parted, sending a zing of longing throughout my body. My teeth sharpened and my eyes illuminated. I pinned her against the wall behind her and shoved my face in the spot between her neck and shoulder. The sandalwood scent that she emanated assaulted my nose and it took all of me not to sink my fangs into her pulsating jugular. I could hear the blood rushing through her veins. I raised my head slightly, my lips grazing her earlobe. "It's because you turn me on so much I can't fucking think. You invade all my senses and break all of my control." My tongue snaked out and licked the back of her ear, a shiver rolling through me as my fangs brushed against her sun-kissed neck. I shuddered again, painfully pulling my mouth away from her neck. I was nearly salivating at the thought of sinking my fangs into her. She didn't dare move while I yanked myself away. Tears began to well in my eyes and I cursed myself at being so weak. I'd spent years gaining the control I needed to make sure I didn't hurt anyone again, and here I was associating myself with the very thing I had no control with.

◆ In a world when the incubi are considered the master, the succubi are the submissives. The incubi are the dominants, the sadists & the discipliners. It's been like this since the Demon Consul chooses to turn a blind eye. Luxinia Steele has been lied to her whole life. Planted on Earth within the succubi population to protect her from the eradication of her true race, Luxinia thought she was a succubus. However, fate has other plans for her. Ancient texts force her to recognize the powers that have lain dormant in her body for far too long. To Luxinia's dismay, a curse is laid upon her that she is unaware of her true nature. What she doesn't know might be the key to stopping the archaic rule of incubi. With allies Lux makes along the way, she is determined to stop the corrupt Demon Consul and protect the race she grew up with. No more being tied up helplessly, or used by these vile demons. Time to take back what was taken; control. Jesse Drake hasn't been around for hundreds of years, but what he does know that doesn't require age is never to mess with the Incubatti Society or the Demon Consul. No one dare challenges those who are in the Consul. Not even if you've had things taken by them. However, when Jesse gets assigned to a certain 'succubus', he begins to question his alliances. Jesse begins to do things Lux's way and gets more than he bargained for. With her spitfire comebacks, Lux might have a chance to change his domineering ways, or for him to extinguish her flames. If the two believe they can control each other, then they may have something deadly coming their way.
