Meet my inspiration for Zeke in Dark Desire, Jeff Tsoutsos. You can find him on Facebook and Hunk du Jour. The man is incredible right?
Zeke is not only a dark breed enforcer who comes from Atlantis, he is also the heir to the Atlantean throne. Not something he is too happy about, seems he feels his time would be better spent protecting all of earths citizens and not just worry about his people.
The man is fast and deadly with his weapons of choice, two sai's he keeps very close at all times. Zeke his handy to have around since he can "port" in and out of a location before you even know he's there. Dark shades keep his eyes hidden, refusing to take them off in front of anyone. Even his closest friends Tegan and Marcus have no clue what lies beneath his ray bans.
As promised here is a snippet from Dark Desire
Zeke
bit out a vicious curse as he tore hell through the alley, his boots pounding
the pavement with in a quick thumping tempo. He burst out onto the street, taking
a sharp right, startled to find a homeless man pushing a grocery cart full of
his belongings right in his path. The old man cried attempting to move out of the
way abandoning his belongings in a frantic effort to avoid the collision.
Gathering
his strength, muscles bunching he leapt. His long legs carrying him clear of
the cart. The heavy thud of his boots on the concrete, drowned out by the old
man shouts. Zeke ignored it, bolting forward, his arms pumping to give him
greater speed. His eyes riveted ahead at the dark haired lycan sprinting ahead
of him.
God
damn Pure Bloods.
He
didn’t have time for this shit. He thought he kept upwind of Lucien’s sensitive
nose. As he chased after Temple Fox’s top dog…or wolf, he cursed the March
winds notorious in the Las Vegas valley. Shifting direction with a sudden
microburst of air Lucien stiffened, raising his head to sniff the air and just
that quick he’d been made.
The
quick and easy grab and dash for Oman’s Seal dying a quick death as the asshole
took off leading him a merry chase through old town Las Vegas. So far the
crowds have been sparse, but he knew his luck wouldn’t last. When it came to this
particular lycan it never did.
“Where
the hell are you Zeke?” His fellow Enforcer demanded in his ear bud.
“I’m
kind of busy Christophe.” He snapped, watching Lucien duck into another alley
between Main Street and Charleston, getting closer to more populated areas.
Damn, looked like porting in front of this bastard would be a no go, the risk
of materializing in the same spot as another too dicey.
Messy
shit, plus a one way ticket to the afterlife, for him and the sorry SOB.
Christophe’s
voice crackled in his ear, the edge of irritation clear. “What the fuck, Zeke?
How did he get a bead on you?”
Zeke’s
gritted his teeth in frustration. “I’m busy here, so if you don’t mind just
stow the ass chewing.” He ripped the bud out of his ear with snarl and poured
on more speed, hitting another alley just in time to see Lucien leap over the
retaining wall and disappear from view.
Oh, hell no. The big bastard
wouldn’t get away from him that easily.
Pumping
his arms and legs even harder he ran toward the wall. Leaping high he pushed
off the side wall, hands gripping the top bricks of the wall, his momentum
carrying him over in a back flip worthy of any gymnast. His feet touched ground
with a solid thud, knees flexed he surged forward in a dead run.
Lucien’s
dark head bobbed up ahead, ducking into alleys and side streets in an effort to
lose him. Zeke dug in with single minded determination as he kept on his tail. Weaving
through the throng of the Strip crowded with people. The irritating sound of
cards snapping on his right broke through his concentration; a hand flashing a
picture of a bare breasted blonde was shoved at him. With a snarl, he shoved
the man back, not staying to watch the man lose his balance, cards flying into
the air as he went down hard on his ass.
He gained on Lucien reaching out a hand
he could almost touch him. He heart pumped, breath coming in ragged gasps as
his lungs threatened to seize from the effort. So close, almost there…
Hope you enjoyed and look for the release of Dark Desire coming soon.
