CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

There was sand in my nostrils, sand between my teeth. I coughed and sputtered.

I reached back with my magic and plucked the vampire off of me. I slammed him down into the ground and got to my feet.

Using magic again, I yanked the two goons off of Felicity and Connor.

I pointed at the ocean.

They sailed through the air and dropped down into the waves.

Ace Gonzales was coming for me.

I ran for him, yelling over my shoulder. “Felicity! Connor! Get out of here!”

Gonzales held out both his hands.

I stopped in my tracks. Well, there. Hold on. Mr. Ace had some magic, then, did he? Had he bought some dragon blood? That bastard. I wasn’t going to let him get by with that.

I touched my talisman and then I waved my hand.

His magic shattered under mine.

He screwed up his face, fingers splayed, reaching for me.

I felt the magic hit me, stronger than before. It was a tendril of power, and it was wrapping its way around my neck.

I touched my talisman again.

But the tendril was tightening quickly, and I had been coughing and choking on sand. I gasped, stopping to double over.

Ace sneered. “You’re not so tough after all. I’m going to squeeze the life out of you, you dragon bitch.”

I shut my eyes, scrabbling for my talisman. I closed my hand around the two claws.

The magic inside me roared to life. The tendril of power at my neck snapped.

I straightened, and I headed for Gonzales.

He tried again, throwing more magic at me.

I waved my hand, diverting it to one side.

Letting out a cry of rage, he simply leaped on me, pushing me down on my back.

I used magic to throw him off.

He leaped on me again. He raked his nails over my face. He bared his fangs, and they glistened in the light of the moon.

That bastard. If he thought that he was going to bite me, he had another thing coming. I hauled back to blast magic at him, and— “Penny!”

I turned.

Connor was on his back, fighting with another vampire. He was struggling.

Damn it. I diverted the magic, sent it over to send Connor’s attacker skittering.

And then I felt the sharp pain of two fangs breaking the skin of my neck. I shrieked in pain and rage.

Ace was drinking my blood, sucking out my essence, my magic.

I poured power into him, sending him sprawling.

But he got to his feet, laughing darkly. “Ooh, you taste like strawberries, sweetheart.”

I funneled power into him again.

He barely stumbled. “I had a taste of that. I’m even stronger now.” He had drunk my blood and now he was using my own magic against me.

I felt a tiny thread of panic. He didn’t have a chance against me, did he?

I touched my talisman. I shot magic at him.

He staggered, but he didn’t fall down. He started for me, taking one sure step after another.

No fricking way. I wasn’t letting this asshole do this to me. He had drunk my blood. He had hurt Connor. He didn’t deserve any mercy at all.
