"I was so engrossed in watching Subi's erotic Oriental ritual through the keyhole, I didn't realize I was no longer alone. A hand caught me at the hip and another clapped over my mouth to muffle my surprised shriek, and then Ferral Graves pulled me back against his taut body. His beard teased my cheek with its delicious silkiness but the rest of him was very hard...very insistent, indeed. "Best not to roam these halls after dark, Caressa," he growled against my ear. "Here at Raven Crest, things get wicked at midnight." But Caressa senses she's already caught in a deadly love triangle with this lone wolf, as secret lives and a seductive killer are revealed. Originally published on Wicked Velvet, the best erotic novel site on the Net. 13 Chapters.
