This week’s excerpt from Through My Heart (vampire romance) picks up where last week’s left off. It continues Adrian and Anna’s first meeting.
Excerpt from Through My Heart
With a sigh, she turned and led me past a tattered curtain, into the small, candlelit room where she lived and entertained customers.
She gestured toward the stone bed.
I remained standing and said, “We should talk first.”
Now she raised an arched black eyebrow. “About what?”
I pulled down my hood, completely exposing my pale, bony face that was covered in scars, most from my mortal life, but some sustained after my change, during fights with other blood drinkers, ones who couldn’t keep their mouths shut and their weapons to themselves. My eyes, deep-set and black as midnight pools, intimidated just about everyone who dared lock gazes with me.
She swallowed visibly and audibly, but didn’t look away.
“Will you still take me to your bed, my lovely?”
“It’s what I do.”

Adrian – I am a vampire whose physical ugliness intensified with my immortality. For centuries I hunted alone, disguising myself from prey, preferring illusions to brutal attacks. Others of my kind spurned me. Some tried to destroy me, and on them I unleashed my wrath. I suffered the agony of eternal loneliness, and then I met Anna.
Anna – My life was almost unbearable until a tall, black-haired stranger with fiery eyes and needle sharp teeth drank my blood and swept me into an unimaginable world. From the night we met, I gave Adrian my heart, but a lie spun by a jealous enemy drove us apart. I swore I would never give him the chance to hurt me again, but denying my love for him was harder than I thought.
Note: Through My Heart is a very short horror romance with a spicy heat level, violence, and a HEA.
