All Their Midnights

by Kate Hill

Short Story Collection, Vampire Romance

He stroked the last words of his poem just as gunfire echoed in the distance. Wind blew the smoky scent into the clearing. He strained to hear any unusual sounds. Despite the silence, he sensed a presence. Danel leapt into a tree, his claws clinging to the bark, his gaze shifting, searching.

She broke through the trees, her feet scarcely touching the ground, and stopped. Fresh blood soaked her right shoulder. The delicious scent quickened Danel’s heartbeat, and memories of the mountain man faded.

He resisted the urge to growl with desire. It had been ages since he’d met a female of his kind. Everything about her aroused him more than he wanted to admit.

Lifting her chin, she sniffed the air, her delicate nostrils flaring. Her dark gaze fixed on him, and she smiled.

Danel dropped to the ground and approached.

“I thought I was alone,” she said in a soft, smooth voice. She folded her pale hands in front of her.

Though short, she had a sturdy build beneath her kamiko. The swell of her breasts and the curve of her hips inspired carnal thoughts that he tried to brush aside. Instead, he focused his attention on the burgundy symbols scrawled over her kamiko. His brow furrowed in concentration, he tried to read the symbols. 

She tilted her head to one side, her full lips still curved upward in amusement. “Are you just ignoring me, or is something wrong with your hearing?”

Blurb:

All Their Midnights is a collection of vampire poetry and short stories with a romantic twist.

The Lighthouse – Imprisoned in a dungeon and forced to do battle for a cruel lord, Drew lost his sanity long ago. Kenna’s passion for Drew never faltered, even when it drove her from the only other person she’d ever loved, her twin brother, Collin. Kenna and Drew escaped the horror of their past to live a quiet life as lighthouse keepers. Their hard-won happiness is threatened when Collin arrives, stirring past memories that hurl him and Drew toward possible destruction.

Blood and Whiskey – Despite his thirst for blood, Danel has never wanted to cause permanent harm to his prey. He’s spent his life learning to control his violent nature. Then he meets Yori. She rouses his bloodlust, but will he curb her wild ways, or will she lure him into a life of savagery?

Don’t Drink the Blood – Rene is a young vampire scraping by while fighting for her life in a world that has shown her little mercy. While on the hunt, she’s attacked, but a strange, beautiful man rescues her. Oliver suffers from a disease that affects vampires. Only Rene’s blood can save him from a slow, painful death. They make a deal—her blood in exchange for his tutoring. Can he transform an uneducated, struggling cynic into a sophisticated vampire warrior? Even more, can he win her hardened heart?
