For 2000 years he’s roamed the earth, taking whatever he desires…until he falls under the spell of the only woman who can destroy his immortal bloodlust…

 

Depraved and dissolute, the vampire Alexius is tired of Regency London, until he’s bewitched by a dark haired seductress. Abduction, bondage and decadent seduction feature in Alexius’ plans, but before the sun rises dynamics have shifted and he’s the one fighting the silken bonds of captivity. 

 Entranced by such novelty, he denies his bloodlust and decides to keep her to warm his bed.

 

Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never mistaken her prey before, but the sinfully seductive stranger mesmerizes her, enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds in his arms. But as they fall under each other’s hypnotic spell the past and present collide and unless they discover the truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.

Steamy Vampire Sexiness with BLOODLUST DENIED for #MySexySaturday

Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday!  Every week published and unpublished authors share 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published book.

This week, it's all about the sexiness :-)

So I thought I'd share seven paragraphs from my erotic vampire Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. I just found out this book has been filtered into the naughty corner by Amazon, so it seems Alexius and Morana have been invisible in searches :-(

Here's the cover - not too shocking I think!!!

And here are the seven paragraphs. Alexius and Morana have just met and neither can deny their shattering lust for the other :-)

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.

 

“I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Still cradling her nape, he relinquished his hold on her arm and slid her gown over her shoulder. He wound a velvet ribbon around his fingers and tugged sharply. Her bodice gaped and he saw a tantalizing glimpse of erect nipple.

He cupped her breast, its satisfying weight filling his hand and in the wavering light, he could see the faint tracing of veins beneath the vulnerable skin.

So tempting. So why didn’t he simply slake his lust, fuck her and take her and end this agonizing scream of want that consumed every nerve he possessed?

Read Chapter One  

"An ancient vampire, Alexius has grown intolerably weary of the London ton. But the moment he sets eyes on Morana, he is captivated. Alexius is stunned by his undiminished desire for her defiant beauty - and startled to realize he has seen her smile before. A vampire hunter bent on retribution, Morana realizes after a single frenzied encounter with Alexius that her desire for revenge can never match her hunger for this arrogant, oddly familiar man."  Romantic Times BOOK Review 4 Stars

Romantic Times BOOK Review 4 Stars

“The dangerous, addictive passion that singes the main characters is all-encompassing…”

Today I'm sharing 7 paragraphs from my vampire Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. This is the scene where the hero Alexius and heroine Morana have just met, and passion ignites between them :-)

He slid his other hand around her neck. The cool silk of her hair caressed his knuckles, as the tips of his fingers caressed her tender flesh. He inhaled her fresh, clean scent, rose petals and raindrops and something else, something he had never before encountered. Something dark and dangerous and so violently arousing, it momentarily obliterated the overwhelming lure of her luscious blood.

She tilted her head, exposing the pale column of her throat to his ravening gaze. Without conscious thought he lowered his head, and drifted his mouth across her tempting skin. He could feel the frantic beat of her pulse vibrating against his lips, against the tip of his searching tongue. His fangs pierced his gums, aching with need and want and rising desperation, yet unaccountably he held back.

Echoes from another time whispered through his mind, but the time was now and the echoes were the seductive strains of the violin. Yet the music was inside his brain, inside his empty heart, twisting through his veins and pounding along his rigid shaft.

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.

“I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Hot Vampire, Regency London

This week I'm polishing the second book in my Archangel series, published under my Christina Ashcroft name, but I thought I'd share the blurb to my Vampire Regency novella that recently sold to Ellora's Cave.

It's a dark romance that sweeps Alexius and Morana from the sordid back alleys of London, to an elegant Regency ballroom and finally to a magnificent sixteenth century country estate. I had a lot of fun writing this one!

Bloodlust Denied

Lured by blood, driven by lust, Alexius is fascinated by the dark haired seductress who shows no fear and refuses to obey his every command. Entranced by such novelty he denied his rabid bloodlust. Instead he’ll keep her to warm his bed until he tires of her ready tongue and tempting body.

Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never mistaken her prey before. But the dark stranger mesmerizes her, enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds in his arms, until reality intrudes and she flees his addictive embrace.

When Alexius unexpectedly find her again he’s determined to exact retribution for the way she vanished three years ago. Abductions, bondage and decadent seduction feature in his plans, but before the sun rises dynamics have shifted and he’s the one fighting the silken bonds of captivity.

But as they fall under each other’s erotic spell the past and present collide and unless they discover the truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.
