Zane is Anunnaki, one of the nine immortals subjugated to walk the earth for eternity while tasked with protecting humankind from the malice. He must bind himself to an heir before the demons secured within his vessel burst free. Except that Zane is not interested in the female chosen for him. Instead, his desire lies in the man he met five years ago and shared an innocent, heartfelt night with. Eric Diaz had left Zane wanting.
Before they force Zane to bind himself with the female, he seeks Eric and shares one night of passion, hoping to satisfy his hunger for the man. But it doesn’t work, and Zane does everything in his power to keep Eric by his side, even risking the human realm and unleashing hell on earth.

EXCERPT
Zane
“Sorry about the water. Had I known you meant to shower, I would’ve adjusted the temperature for you.”
“It was my fault. I should’ve asked.”
“Well, you did help me with Boomer, so whatever you need that I can provide is yours.”
That was something Eric should not have offered. In my world, word was law. Offers were sacred, and vows honored in blood. But Eric wasn’t part of my world. Not yet. “You probably shouldn’t offer yourself so freely. You don’t know what I’m capable of asking for.”
That threw the man off guard. I hated that I couldn’t get a read on him. His emotions were always all over the place. Like looking through a kaleidoscope, the colors of his aura creating indiscernible shapes that made no sense. Some melded together while others took off on their own. When I first met him, I thought the arrays had something to do with his heartbreak. But now, it seemed this was his frame of mind all the time. It left me absorbing more than I needed.
A spark of curiosity crossed the man’s expression. “And what would you ask for that would shock me?”
“Oh, your soul, your firstborn, your body?” Too bad he seemed to favor having the kitchen counter between us.
“I’d trade my body for yours anytime.”
The guy was fucking adorable. Naïve and maybe too innocent for me, but damn adorable. “I could tell by the way you looked at me when I was in the shower.” Yeah, I went there.
He blushed. It took centuries of training to control my urges and not to reach out and taste those damn full lips of his. “Yeah, um, sorry about that.”
“Don’t apologize. I like that you looked.”
He swallowed nervously. “Are you hitting on me?”
Holy, hell. If this guy only knew what I was doing.
