One
of the fun things about publishing a novel is that you have many
more options for passages to share with readers.
For
today’s MFRW Book Hooks hop, I’m treating you yet another
exclusive excerpt from my new paranormal erotic romance Fangs,
Fur and the Single Girl –
the first time my human heroine kisses her vampire lover.
And since we're talking about fun... let's do a giveaway! Leave me a comment. One lucky visitor will win a free ebook copy of the new novel, in your choice of formats!
Blurb
A
tragically attractive vampire, a hunky wolf-man and a skeptical but
susceptible career gal. What could possibly go wrong?
The
city is full of fanatics who believe vampires are real. Bianca knows
that’s a fantasy. Then a blond, blue-eyed blood drinker walks into
her office and turns her universe upside down. Trying to escape from
the vampire’s seductive influence, she collides with a wolf shifter
whose mere presence inspires irresistible lust. How can Bianca
resolve her feelings for her two mutually hostile lovers?
The
Hook
Banca
knew she should be frightened. She should get out his presence before
she made a final, irreversible mistake. The risk, the pure reality of
it, only made her want him more. He was watching her. She could feel
his eyes on her lips, on her throat, on the rise and fall of her
breasts as her breath quickened.
She
glanced around the bar, filling up now that it was after five.
Donnie’s was not known as a “blood” bar, but still, she noticed
half a dozen men wearing capes and pale make up, plus two or three
women in slinky black dresses and wigs. It was pathetic, the way they
all craved a fleeting taste of inhuman power, a brush with
immortality. And here she sat, thigh to thigh with the genuine
article.
“I
don’t fully understand it,” Jim said, obviously catching her
thoughts once again. “Why would they want to be me? Power’s nice,
but overall, I live a pretty lonely and miserable existence.”
“Maybe—maybe
I can make you a little less lonely.” What was she saying? Was she
insane? “For a little while.”
Ignoring
the alarm bells clamoring in her brain, Bianca cradled his cheek for
an instant, then pulled his mouth to hers. His lips were soft as any
flesh, warm and muscular as they met and molded to her own. She
tasted the wine he had been drinking, with background flavors of iron
and salt. His tongue, too, felt human, jousting against hers,
exploring, questioning.
Her
rigid nipples pressed rudely through the stretchy fabric of her top,
pleading for his attention. Of course he knew what she wanted.
Without breaking the kiss, he cupped both breasts, tracing
symmetrical circles around the tips. Her pussy clenched. Her thighs
opened involuntarily. She rocked back and forth on the bench, rubbing
her pubis against the hard wood.
“Please,”
she moaned against his open mouth, then was silent, realizing that
she did not have to say anything. He knew, even before she did, how
much she wanted to be taken.
Instead
of giving it to her, though, he broke the kiss. He drew away from
her, toward the opposite end of the bench.
“What…?
Jim? Don’t you want—?”
“Too
much, Bianca. Much too much to be safe. I should go.” He wrapped
his trim body in his beige wool coat and draped a cheerful green
plaid scarf around his neck, looking younger and more vulnerable than
ever. He shook his head. “This was another of my mistakes.”
“No!
Don’t leave! I won’t touch you again, I promise.”
“You
won’t be able to keep that promise.” His voice was bitter as
quinine.
“What
about the job?” Was she panicked by the thought of losing him, or
the business opportunity? Bianca honestly wasn’t sure. “I can
make you famous. Rich.”
“You
think I care about that?” His laugh chilled her.
“Think
about it, Jim. For the first time, you’d be appreciated for who you
really are.”
“Don’t
you mean what I am, Ms. Sorenson?” He sighed. “Anyway, you
know I couldn’t be myself. I’d be faking, as much as any of your
models. Deep down, your readers all know vampires don’t exist.”
“You
could show them a hint of the truth…” Bianca threw twenty dollars
on the table and grabbed her cloak. She was determined not to lose
him.
“They
couldn’t handle the truth, Bianca.” His cool fingers feathered
across her cheek. His half smile brimmed with regret. “Not
everyone’s as hard-headed and clear-sighted as you.”
He
sighed and shook his head once more. “Goodbye. Thanks for the
drink. Thanks for listening.”
Turning
his back to her, he headed for the door. She seized a handful of wool
to hold him back, aware she was already breaking her vow. “Wait!
Look, Jim! I am hard-headed. Tough as nails. I want you for my
magazine. I won’t take no for an answer.”
He
glanced over his shoulder, something dark churning in his eyes. “Let
me go. Please.”
“Only
if you agree to come to the Vamp offices tomorrow. Ten a.m..
I’ll have the photographers ready.”
“You’re
too susceptible—” But as she relaxed her grip on his coat, he
turned to face her.
She
rejoiced at the partial victory. “You said I’m hard-headed. I’ll
be so hard-headed you won’t believe it, boy.”
He
flashed her a weak grin. “I’m too susceptible. Especially
now that I’ve tasted you. Whenever you’re close—”
“I’ll
keep my distance. All business. Hey, I won’t even attend the shoot,
if you’d rather.”
“You’ll
find it hard to stay away.”
“I’ll
force myself.” She answered his grin with one of her own. “Come
on. Say yes.”
“Maybe.
Now I really do have to leave. I’m always hungrier at night.”
For
a moment the college boy morphed into the unearthly creature from his
portfolio. A queasy thrill shot through her. She recalled the
magnetic pull of his lips against her pulse and the almost
irresistible urge to surrender. The bar whirled around her as she
relived that dizzying ecstasy.
By
the time she recovered, he was gone.
