Excerpt from Dominique

Dominique waited outside the gate, holding the reins of his blood bay gelding and Aurelia’s chestnut stallion. Shortly after midnight, she slipped silently through the gate, her body draped in a black cloak and her red hair glistening like blood in the moonlight.

“Hurry so we won’t waste the night,” she said, mounting her horse.

He swung onto his mount and they galloped across the field.

They rode for several hours before stopping to rest in an abandoned cottage. Leaving the horses to graze outside, they lay on the scratched, dusty floor.

Aurelia fell asleep almost immediately, the gentle weight of her head on Dominique’s shoulder. He closed his eyes and inhaled the aroma of her hair. He stroked her shoulder and arm, enjoying the sensation of her smooth, soft skin beneath his fingertips. He was nearly asleep when he realized that in his haste to leave the alcalde’s house and begin his adventure with Aurelia, he’d forgotten to sign his mural.

Dominique has spent his long life immersed in his art. People travel far to have him paint miniature portraits of them, but instead of money as payment, he asks for a taste of their blood.

Advice from a fortune teller sends him to a house where he meets Aurelia, another vampire with secrets even deeper than his own. Will the beautiful tattoo artist end his loneliness, or end his life?

Note: Dominique is a very short adult fairy tale featuring vampire love, some spice, and violence.
