When a grisly decapitated corpse pops up on a Chicago Street, drained of blood, the highly-trained, government-funded special police force assigned two of their best detectives to the case. S.U.I.T. Detectives Warren Davis and Matthew Eric delve deep into their investigation to discover just who or what is leaving mutilated bodies in public places.

Excerpts The Guilty Innocent:
Knights of the Darkness Chronicles (Book Two)
Excerpt :
--------------------------------
Darian released the little green
button and settled comfortably into his
chair. When he heard the door
open then close, he knew it was Annette. He
could smell the blood underneath
her skin and feel her pulse beating fast
making her body heat rise. Ah
yes, Darian loved the heat. Slowly, he
turned his chair around to face
her. He thought she was beautiful indeed.
He could not understand why he
had not met her personally before. He would
have to have a small talk with
Xavier.
He entrusted all of the hiring of
the staff to Xavier. He knew Xavier
would have the right eye for such
beauty. He was sure that Xavier had
already bedded Miss Balfour. If
he had not, then it was his loss and
Darian’s gain. It was one of the
aspects of their relationship Darian
enjoyed most of all. They had to
have an open sexual relationship. He
would not have it any other way.
Sex was one of Darian’s favorite
pastimes. He enjoyed the feeling
of hot, sweaty bodies beneath him or
behind him. Enjoyed the sensation
of heat and ecstasy as it increased
until it spilled over their
bodies in that one final moment when time
would freeze.
He gazed at her caramel colored
skin, admiring the smoothness of it. He
wanted to feel that smoothness
with his fingertips. He liked her permed,
straight hair, how it framed her
slender oval shaped face. Her lips
attracted him as well; he loved
how full and luscious they were.
He was a lover of both men and
women and cherished all of the individual
qualities each offered. His mind
raced to what he wanted to do with her
before the night was out. A
wicked smile spread across his lips, exposing
his dimples, making him look both
innocent and guilty.
He looked at her entire
appearance, mentally calculating the quickest way
to remove her clothing based on
hooks, zippers, snaps, etc. She was
dressed in a leopard print bra
top and a black satin skirt with a leopard
print hem and was wearing a pair
of black heels. Darian admired the way
the outfit enveloped her. It was
no doubt an outfit designed for the game
of seduction. And his club was
the perfect place to wear such an ensemble.
Desires Unleashed was exactly
what the name stated, and that was what
Darian wanted. Whether you had a
lust for sex or blood, you could sate
your hunger there.
“Miss Balfour, I’ve called you
into my office tonight because I have some
good news. You see, I’ve been
going through my employee records and
reviewing some of my best staff.”
He looked in her direction and
smiled. He rose from his chair and glided
around the desk. All of his
movements were as smooth as satin. His body
never looked clumsy, never once.
He leaned against the corner of his desk
in front of Annette. He held her
open file in his hand as he looked down
at her over the edge of the file
and smiled. His eyes sparkled as his
smile warmed her. He slid halfway
onto the corner of his desk and
pretended to look over her
information. He had already memorized her file
before she came into his office,
but now, he was keeping up appearances.
“It says here that you’ve never
been late and only absent one time since
you started working here.”
He paused and leaned in closer to
her.
“Most impressive,” he whispered
seductively.
His forest-green eyes peered into
the chocolate brown of hers. She felt
his aura pelting her, making a
heat rise from between her legs. She fought
the urge to squirm in her seat.
She could smell his cologne, as if he
needed any. She was willing to
bet he was just as good in bed as he looked
and that was saying a lot. She
found herself imagining what his strong
hands would feel like caressing
her skin. She wanted to feel the heat of
his mouth on her, and the weight
of his body against hers. She had the
desire to press her hand to her
chest, and, in an exaggerated southern
belle accent, say ‘Why sir, I’m
just a southern belle and we southern gals
don’t do things like- ooooohh, Oh
My!’ She mentally shook her head. She
wanted to focus on what he was
saying to her, even though it was proving
to be more difficult with each
passing second.
“Did you hear what I said?”
Darian asked, humor hidden in his smile.
He knew damn well she had not
heard a word he’d said; it was just how he
planned it. She didn’t need to
hear what he was saying. She only needed to
know that he was paying her
attention, that she had his favor for the
evening. She should be so
blessed.
“Oh, yeah ... Um ...,”
She took a deep breath and let it
out. This was bad.
“No. I’m sorry. I didn’t catch
the ... Um … last thing you said.”
She was hoping he would not think
badly of her. Nothing was worse than
being condemned as an airhead.
Well, there were worse things, but at this
point airhead was the one she was
worried about. He had obviously called
her into his luxurious office for
a reason. From the rumors she heard
circulating around the club, no
one got to see the owner’s office unless
they were getting fired or a
special promotion. She was hoping it was the
latter.
Darian’s chuckle vibrated deep in
his throat. He decided to cut to the chase.
Nice excerpt, thanks for sharing.
