Wicked Night is about an ancient vampire, Gabriel, and the human/fae Thea.  Gabriel has coveted Thea for two long years, and the need for a magical amulet to heal her mother that Gabriel has Thea on his doorstep.  While Thea has wanted Gabriel as well, she has resisted, but she will do anything to save her mother, even surrendering to Gabriel (which is not a hardship for her). The sex scenes are hot!Gabriel does not have the amulet and they must travel to a neighboring master vampire, and when they get there they find he has passed it to another master vampire.  As the master vampire flirts with Thea, Gabriel feels the need to mark her, just to keep other vampires from nearing her (so he tells himself).  He is conflicted by his feelings because he had made a vow never to bind to mate.  (but a little marking never hurt anyone.. and hey, another hot bout of lovin').On the way to the amulet, they are ambushed by Mage Vampires, led by Drachyn, who throw Gabriel in a prison with no roof (hello, dangerous sunshine), and take Thea.  To save her, he binds to her and is able to kill Drachyn.This was an excellent story, and while short it gives enough background story for you not to be confused.  Enjoy!
