Dorian Blackwood

Born to an infernal bloodline that feeds on want, Dorian learned long ago that no one touched him unless they wanted something from him. So he stopped resisting and became exactly what people crave: the man who sees your secret hungers and makes you offer them up willingly. He opened his lounge at twenty-two and built a kingdom from whispered promises and careful control. A decade of being desired taught him that always being wanted is its own kind of starvation. The one woman who loved him rather than craved him began to fade the longer he stayed, and seven years ago he left her to save her life; she never knew why. Now he rules the night, surrounded by those who offer everything, waiting for someone who sees him instead of what he can give.
