He stopped abruptly. I paused beside him, tilting my head and narrowing my eyes to focus better.

Excerpt:
He didn’t say anything else, even when we walked side-by-side down the city streets. He led me out of the more respectable section and closer to the shabby part of town where I lived.
“Slumming again tonight, Ollie?”
“Quiet.” He held up his hand, his brow knitted. “Listen. Concentrate.”
“On what?”
That’s 8, and if you’d like to read a little more:
“Our senses are keener than those of mortals. We see, hear, and smell our prey. Like animals.”
“So?” I skipped ahead and walked backward so I could face him. “There’s prey all around us. We don’t have to work hard. Now if we were country vampires, then maybe—”
He stopped abruptly. I paused beside him, tilting my head and narrowing my eyes to focus better.

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?

Nice teaching moment for this vamp newbie. She’s going to be a handful.
What did they sense? I’m also curious as to where that line of thought was going. Great tease!
Oohhh, can’t wait to find out what he’s sensing! I love your ‘voice’ in this story, flows so smoothly. Great snippet!
Something’s got his attention. Like others have said, I would love to be drawn into the MC’s sensory world.
I really want to know what they sense out there! Great snippet!
Thank you, Jenna!
They can sense things we can’t, for sure. 🙂
Thank you, Vernonica!
Thank you, Jessica! There is something out there. 🙂
She sure isn’t easy to handle, even for him. 🙂
