Blood Kiss in Ravenwood: The Hunter’s Dangerous Favor

Chapter 1

As a vampire, my first night undercover at Ravenwood Hunter Academy hit me with a challenge I honestly wasn’t ready for.

My roommate smelled way too good.

Ethan had just gotten out of the shower, shirtless.

I couldn’t stop myself, I just stared.

Young body, solid build, the faint lines of veins under muscle.

My throat bobbed.

I was so thirsty.

He caught my look and clicked his tongue, annoyed.

He tossed a towel around his waist like it was nothing, then walked straight at me with a hard expression.

He was tall enough to crowd me into the wall.

Up close, the scent of his blood got even worse.

Sweet in a way that felt fatal.

I swallowed again without meaning to.

Ethan’s eyes locked on my throat, watching it move like he couldn’t miss it.

“You hungry?”

I shook my head.

My gaze betrayed me anyway, landing right on his chest.

Even if I couldn’t bite him.

If I could just taste him once.

The thought made heat rush through me.

My breathing turned rough, and the corners of my eyes stung red from holding it back.

He looked me over with a cold, assessing stare, then started to speak.

“Are you a vam”

My pupils snapped wide, my heart climbing straight into my throat.

Crap.

Was I really going to blow my cover on day one?

“Into men?”

He finished the sentence.

I froze.

All that tension drained out of me at once.

Between being labeled as into guys and being exposed as a vampire, I picked the first option without hesitation.

I even had the nerve to reach out and give my scary, good-looking roommate a quick feel, then let out a shameless little whistle.

“Yeah, so are you gonna let me get a taste?”

A second later, I got hit.

Ethan grabbed my throat and slammed me onto the bed.

He lifted his fist and brought it down hard.

The impact hurt like hell.

I bared my teeth, hissing through it.

His ears were bright red, but his voice stayed ice-cold when he warned me.

“Perv. Look at me like that again and I’ll take your eyes out.”

Later, I found out Ethan was the Commandant’s son, the academy’s real power.

I let out a quiet sigh.

First day in and I’d already ticked off the worst person possible.

Ever since he called me a perv, Ethan kept watching me with that same cold stare.

Like he was guarding against something.

It had me on edge every day.

Terrified I’d slip up and expose myself.

Even the blood tabs I’d brought as emergency rations, I only dared eat them during a shower, sneaking them in like contraband.

That day, I finally caught my chance after Ethan finished up.

I grabbed my towel and my stash and hurried into the showers.

I tore open the packet and whispered under my breath, “That smells so good.”

An hour later, the steam had basically turned me pink.

Only after I was sure there was no trace of blood scent left did I crack the door open.

And of course Ethan was right there, leaning by the doorway, staring me down like he’d been waiting.

“Noah Vale, you take forever every time, and you keep muttering that it smells good,” he said. “What are you doing in there that you don’t want me to know about?”

My heart kicked up again.

Seriously, was he listening outside the door?

Could he actually smell blood?

I forced my chin up anyway.

“No.”

I didn’t dare meet his eyes, though.

My face heated up fast, turning red with nerves.

His ears went pink again, and he snapped, vicious as ever.

“Little perv.”

Then he turned and walked off, leaving me standing there, completely thrown.

Still, as long as I didn’t get exposed, he could call me whatever he wanted.

I just didn’t expect him to knock later, right when I was mid-snack.

Ethan’s voice came through the door, cold and firm.

“Open up. I’m checking.”

Me, with a mouth full of blood tabs, “Seriously?”
