Alpha Male Diner: DB Reynolds

The diner is open again and serving up vampire. D.B. Reynolds was kind enough to whip up a little something, something called Raphael. I've read his book and he is old school powerful and all alpha...  

RAPHAEL (Vampire)

Recipe created by D. B. Reynolds

VAMPIRES in AMERICA: BETRAYED (Cyn & Raphael Novella #1)

1 soul, black as a raven’s breast
1 pure heart, slightly distressed
1 pair of genuine onyx eyes, must gleam silver when properly stimulated
1 cup of get-the-fuck-out-of-my-face
2 brimming cups of arrogance
2 spilling-over cups of possessiveness
4 cups of pure, raw power
A pinch of humor
A dash of excellent style

Mix well, and marinate for a few hundred years. And then keep your distance.

Makes one 6 foot, 4 inch hunk of primal male Vampire Lord, who will kill anyone who touches what’s his, especially if her name is Cyn.

Taste test

warning this dish is spicy!

Raphael slammed his mouth over hers, yanking her up against his body and tightening his arm around her waist to hold her there. Cyn fought briefly, mostly for form, he thought, as the always burning attraction between them grabbed hold of her just as it did him. She softened almost immediately, her mouth opening beneath his, her arms going around his neck as she crushed her breasts against his chest.

Raphael slid his fingers under the edge of her sweater and wrenched it upward, releasing her long enough to tug it over her head and throw it aside. He bent his head to her breasts, their soft, golden mounds swelling out of the lace cups of her bra. He sucked fiercely on one of her nipples through the lace, biting down hard enough that Cyn hissed, her fingernails scraping his skull where she held his head in place, arching forward to offer herself to his mouth.

Raphael ripped the front clasp of her bra open, his hands coming up to cup her breasts, his thumbs thrumming her nipples into rigid peaks.

“Take this off,” Cyn rasped, ripping at his sweater before her hands dropped to the snap on his jeans. “These, too,” she demanded.

Raphael laughed, delighted at her response to him. No matter how angry she was, no matter how angry he was, this was always there. This passion between them that threatened to burn them alive sometimes. This was something she had with no other male. He would never permit it, even if she desired it. She was his, now and always, and he would prove that to her once again tonight.

My review of Betrayed

Love, the ache in your heart when you meet the one. It can take you to soaring heights; and it can leave you bleeding in the wreckage. Loyalty, the thing which binds a Vampire Lord to his children for eternity ... unless it rots from within, birthing hatred. Betrayal, it comes in many forms and from many sources ... love ... loyalty ... betrayal. War has come to the North American vampires, and Vampire Lords are reaching across territorial lines to strengthen allies and weaken enemies. The most powerful Lord of them all, Raphael, could change the course of the war and determine who raises the final banner of victory. But at what price? And will his mate, Cyn, be the one to pay it?
