Inferno Anthology (157 page)

I hear Hayes yelling, but I have no time to wait. Instead I need to act and save Kathryn. A police sedan pulls up to the sidewalk with sirens blaring. Simon looks to his right, and in that split second I run full force straight into him.

Grabbing the arm holding the gun as I hit him, I pull it away so it’s no longer pointing at Kathryn. Simon loosens his grip on her as I continue to struggle with him. Kathryn falls onto the ground as I scream for her to move away. Out of the corner of my eye, I see her scooting toward the limo.

As I’m fighting to get the gun out of Simon’s hand, I feel one of his fingers moving against the trigger.  An earsplitting blast is followed simultaneously by an inhuman pain in my side.

I cry out while falling to the ground. My shaking hands find the gritty sidewalk, and my arms try to hold me up. In front of me, Simon is raging and pointing his gun around in the air. I glance over my shoulder to check on Kathryn. I see her eyes wide in shock and her mouth forms a perfect “O” in a silent scream.

Simon moves closer to me. All I can do is try to block him from Kathryn and hold my hand out in front of me. A vain attempt to keep him at away.

“Drop the gun,” Hayes shouts the orders at Simon, but instead of complying Simon aims the pistol right at my head. I close my eyes waiting for the gun to fire off. Instead I hear a gunshot but oddly feel nothing hit me. My eyes snap open and see Simon lying in front of me with a bullet hole between his eyes. His sunglasses must’ve flown off because his lifeless eyes are staring right at me.

Hayes gets to me first and kneels down at my side. He pulls up my blood-soaked sweater and inspects my injury. Everything he’s doing hurts like hell.

“You’re going to be all right, Mr. Kingsley. Had two tours in Iraq and this isn’t bad. More than a graze, but you’ll be okay.” Hayes places his jacket under my head for support.

“Thanks for… what you did,” I say, gritting through the pain.

Kathryn appears above me as I lie on the sidewalk; tears are streaming down her soft cheeks.

“Beautiful, you’re okay?” My voice is barely audible. She smiles weakly through her tears and gently caresses my cheek.

“You saved my life, Adam.”

Finally, she says the one word I’ve longed to hear. My name. Adam.

Temptation(Touch of Tantra Book 1.5)

A companion novella in the Touch of Tantra series.

We’ve heard Adam’s side of their meeting. Now take a little journey into Kathryn’s mind on the day they met.

Recently Kathryn Delcour returned to her hometown of New York City. Widowed two years ago, she found healing from her loss through the ancient practice of Tantra and teaches the spiritual and sexual art to others.

When Kathryn oversees a husband performing a very intimate tantric massage with his wife, the steamy session makes Kathryn face her own sexual frustrations and realize she needs a true lover. Unfortunately she hasn’t met a man who lights a fire inside of her like her late husband…until she meets billionaire Adam Kingsley later that night.

Adam’s Fall (Touch of Tantra Book 2)

While Adam recovers from injuries after saving Kathryn’s life, she instructs him in the sensual practice of Tantra. He becomes her willing student as their tantric lovemaking brings Adam to sexual highs he never dreamed were possible.
