From Protector of the Grey House:
Natalia stood carefully in his hold. Though it was not always easy to read her lover, she saw in his eyes what he wanted. Vincent wanted to change her; she was not ready. Natalia knew she couldn’t fight him without a weapon. The closest thing to a weapon within reach was the hairdryer, which sat on the counter, cord wrapped around the nozzle. It was hefty enough, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to knock him out with it. Natalia groaned and leaned into her vampire as his hand ran down her side and he growled into her neck. Her breath caught as she realized she almost wanted him to do it.
Her hand found his hair, tangled in the short soft mane. “Vincent. Please.”
Her voice was so torn by desire; neither knew what she asked. Vincent pulled away gently, as his desire gripped him to the breaking point. He turned her around and tipped her head up to look into her fiery eyes. Her lower lip quivered. With a shaky hand, he reached into her hair and started to pull out her bobby pins. Her hair fell softly over her shoulders. He moved very slowly, to tame the raging beast that threatened to tear out her jugular.
