Sebastian shot to his feet, tracing to the last basilisk. With a wet roar, it pitched backward onto the small one, trapping it. He yanked the blade back, rolling out of the way. A death blow, planted between scales as big as plates. When they sprang back inside the tunnel, he dropped onto his back beneath the larger one and thrust his sword up at its belly. He dodged swiping claws to trace back into the dark at the other end of the cavern, then yelled for them. The smallest one and the other were venturing out, blinking and hissing at the light.
Before he could get to her, she'd righted herself, skipping along the edge. The basilisk had disappeared? Kaderin was on her tiptoes at the very edge of the cliff, arching her back to keep from falling. His skin burned as though splashed with acid. Even half-tracing, he could barely see in the light. Just as he was tracing them, she kicked him in the face and scrambled away.īefore he could stop, he disappeared without her, then sent himself right back into the fray. Sebastian dove for her into the sun, swallowing a bellow of pain, snatching her ankle.
Sebastian couldn't see her, only heard snapping jaws, then spied her as she ducked. The largest crashed through all the rocks after her. But the basilisks charged with phenomenal speed, all three reaching the chamber and leaping with claws bared. He lunged back, leaving her room to leap for the hole. "They won't be able to see in the sun very well." Without turning, she said, "They want to look slow. "Lookit, the instant the rocks go, these three will attack. "I've got this one down." One last glance over at him, and she muttered a curse. The way she was staring at him, little fang pressing against her plump bottom lip, eyes flashing silver, was making him crazed. "Bride, I never thought I'd ever say this to you, but you must focus." And if she continued staring at his powerful, sculpted body, she was in danger of spontaneous orgasm. She apparently fancied black-haired, grave-eyed vampires of the excruciatingly gorgeous type.
