Tales of the Darkworld: A Collection of Stories — Lex Valentine

Holiday Hearts
It's Christmas at Sean Antaeus's house and everyone is there. Siblings, cousins, mates, and even Mistress Christmas with her reindeer and elf! Emily is pregnant and so is Elysia. Holden discovers Garret's secret fear. Colin and Eden play in the sauna. Declan hides behind the Christmas tree. Sean and Careen try to make a baby. And Marius faces his fears for the future. It's a holiday filled with laughter and love, hot chocolate and hotter sex, and a little bit of magic from Magia Alfred Stone.

Blood Play
Vampire Aiden Swann has a tough job: infiltrate Paris's most notorious BDSM club Perdition. While he's all Alpha, Aiden's no Dom, yet he finds his time in Perdition no hardship due to a mysterious female vampire. Cadence O'Connor intrigues him and makes him hard as stone. He knows there's no reason that a pure blood vampire like him couldn't play with a mixed blood vampire like her, but Cade disagrees. She's got a chip on her shoulder about her heritage and refuses to see Aiden as a sexual partner. All Aiden needs to do is convince Cade that she's no abomination and that everything she is, is everything he wants.

Colin Cuffed
Colin Granville had a bad day and was looking forward to a quiet evening with his mate. But Eden has other plans for him that don't include “quiet.” Her cousin Emily is away on vacation and Eden has the key to her house. She takes Colin there and introduces him to Emily and Vahid's private dungeon. Reluctant to play at first, Colin gives in to Eden and is instantly cuffed to the bed. What follows is a night of sensory deprivation and fun with a violet wand, proving that even married couples can be pretty kinky.
