Although they aren’t naked and covered in blood, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skargard look super sexy in these new pics from their Rolling Stone issue!

The True Blood gods have graced us yet again with more hot shots of the three leading characters all sexed up for their Rolling Stone cover shoot, which hits stands Sept. 2.

In the highly stylized shoot, all three actors are dressed in black. Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard protectively put their hands on Anna Paquin, as though they are fighting for her affections. In another shot, the leading lady is dramatically extended over a cushion, as her real life fiance holds her leg.

Regardless of how they are posed, True Blood has one of THE hottest casts on television!
