Excerpt:
Everyone assembled in a semi-circle as
Antoinella, dressed in a red satin dress exposing lots of cleavage, walked onto
the rink. She looked like a glamorous actress from an old movie. Italian
vampires had their own style. She was careful not to slip on the ice. It was a
little cold. Sir Borgia stood beside her in a black suit with a red vest. His
dark wavy hair hung down to his shoulders. His light brown eyes were focused on
Antoinella’s chest like everyone else. Jasper brought out a chair for the young
woman to sit in. The Magus signaled to begin. Lady Lily stood by to assist.
When Sir Borgia bit into her chest, I
looked away for a moment. Antoinella bit her lip to suppress a scream then
passed out. Sir Borgia drank deeply. I sensed the other vampires’ hunger. Lady
Lily started a transfusion infused with Sir Borgia’s blood. Then he stood, slit
his wrist with a tiny dagger and held it up to the barely conscious woman’s
mouth. She began to drink. I noticed droplets of blood dripped down her chin
onto the ice and started to feel light headed, then everything went black. The
next thing I remembered was coming to as my husband carried me upstairs. I was
in the safety of his arms again.
“What happened?” I asked as he laid me on
his bed.
“You fainted but I caught you in time.”
Lady Lily appeared quite concerned. She had
a blood pressure cuff and took my vitals, which I thought was a bit over the
top. “Her vitals are fine,” she reported. “Still, I suggest resting for a
little while. I’ll leave you alone.” She quickly left, closing the door behind
her.
My husband lay next to me with his hand
resting on my tummy. He looked at me with the same passionate concern he had
displayed at the airport hotel. I was feeling aroused by his scent and touch. I
recovered quickly. “Thanks.”
“You seem to have an aversion to the sight
of blood. That’s unfortunate. You’ll have to work on that.”
“Maybe I should just stay away from undead
social events,” I responded.
He put his fingers gently on my mouth and
said, “Quiet.” The he kissed me as his hand slipped under my T-shirt. It did
not take long and all our clothes seemed to disappear. He gently rubbed my
clitoris till I moaned softly then he entered me with hard thrusts that made me
cry out.
It is a fine line between love and hate and
sometimes while having sex you experience both and do not care which it is.
