The assistant manager and my main contact here waits by the open door.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cupid. He\u2019s as beautiful as ever. Six feet tall, broad-shouldered and slim, he\u2019s smooth shaven and youthful &#8212; not surprising since he was made a vampire at the human age of twenty-two.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I nearly smile. It\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve seen each other. I\u2019d arranged for him to come here a little over five years ago. He\u2019s like a different person now &#8212; so poised &#8212; not like the timid boy I\u2019d found chained and bleeding in a house of horrors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About Bloodbloom<\/p>\n<p>(M\/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)<\/p>\n<p>Lance Bloodbloom: For years I\u2019ve served as an agent for the Sovereign Vampire of the USA. Since the demon occupation, I\u2019ve fought on the side of the rebellion. Now I\u2019ve been reassigned to the Savage Sage Club, which is also a safe house for refugees. My dilemma is Cupid &#8212; a former prostitute who now runs the club. From the moment I freed him from a sadistic flesh peddler, he stole my heart, but in my line of work, one can\u2019t have a heart. Despite this, when I finally see Cupid again, I doubt I can control my passion for him.<\/p>\n<p>Cupid: The night Lance rescued me from the dungeon where I\u2019d been forcibly turned into a vampire and mercilessly used for blood and sex, I knew I would love him forever. He sent me away, though, to a place where I could recover and build a new life, and I have. I\u2019m no longer a prostitute, and I run a club that is also a haven for members of the rebellion. Lance Bloodbloom is back, and I want him more than ever, so I\u2019ll need to convince him that love is possible, even for a centuries-old warrior.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelingpress.com\/bloodbloom-confessions-2-b-3074\">Changeling Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read snippets from other authors in the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog hop <a href=\"http:\/\/wewriwa.blogspot.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s time for the WeWriWa blog hop in which writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories.
