CRIMSON TIES

PURCHASE EBOOK

Joanna Eastman was a scientist. Though she knew better, she couldn't help her fascination with vampires-those dangerous creatures who existed only in fantasy, right? Her own extensive research, coupled with dreams so powerful they felt more like memories, drew Joanna to attend a vampire gala ball. Instead of role-playing, faux vamps, she encountered someone who could well be the real thing.and the key to her dreams.

Anton Mahler, one of the true kin, as vampires called themselves, has roamed the earth for centuries, easily conquering vampire and mortal women alike with his dazzling looks and devastating charm. Yet his heart always remained carefully sealed, frozen in time with the loss of his one true love.

When Anton stumbled across the lovely Joanna something resonated deep within him-a connection so abiding, so pure, he knew somehow his long-lost love had returned. Witness the coming together of fiery passion and bloodlust soaked in the bloody dreams of an ancient past. Explore the erotic, dark world of the vampire as they share the sacred blood with a passion that comes along only once in a lifetime.

EXCERPT

Holding out his hand, palm up, Anton looked again into Joanna's eyes, reading her determination and her desire. As she watched he drew the blade down across the fleshy pad beneath his thumb.

Bright red blood beaded in a line across his flesh. "Take it," he commanded, holding his palm to her mouth. Joanna obeyed, at first tentatively touching the warm liquid with her tongue.

She sighed, almost a moan, as she licked again, this time with more confidence. Taking his large hand between her own two small ones, she put her mouth fully over the small wound, suckling, drawing the blood forth as if she were born to do this act.

Anton felt the pull of her hot little mouth against his flesh. His body reacted with sensual pleasure, his cock rising up as he watched the greedy girl taking her first mouthful of hot, red perfection. Joanna had risen up on her knees, holding his hand tightly in hers as she sucked. She was breathing hard, her breasts heaving, the nipples distended, a flush across her chest.

He could feel her pleasure, her desperate all-consuming bloodlust as she took the sacred blood for the first time. He knew what she was experiencing, though it wasn't often he shared the blood with another vampire as it was dangerous and, in his own heart, something to be saved for a soul mate.

Yet one never forgot the rich, pure mixture. Human blood was delicious and sustaining, but it couldn't match the melted purity, the empowering, intoxicating burst of liquid joy offered by the sacred blood. Even now his fangs were distended with desire as he watched the lovely naked girl taking her first mouthfuls of the heady nectar.

Sheer self will kept him from throwing her down, pushing back her head and pricking the white supple sweetmeat of her throat as he thrust his rock-hard cock into her cunt. He took a deep breath, feeling a little dizzy as she continued to gulp his lifeblood, her eyes rolling back, her body hot with blood fever.

When he knew he couldn't risk another drop, he pulled her back, forcing her to release her grip. Her eyes were wild and unfocused as she tried to lower her head again, to take more of what he offered. Anton held her firm, his fingers entwined in her golden-brown hair to keep her at bay. He licked the cut at his palm, immediately sealing the flow of blood with the coagulant properties of his vampire saliva.

"Slow down, my hungry girl," he admonished. "Not too much, not at first. We have all the time in the world."

Crimson Ties is a fast-paced, wonderful story.Anton is the typical vampire with a tortured soul. Confidence and plenty of male sexuality combine to make an unforgettable hero. Joanna is a modern woman who has struggled to achieve recognition in a male dominated workforce, but she still believes in magical dreams. Their love story left me breathless with longing.

Ms. Thompson seems to always pen consistently sexually charged characters that light up the pages with a life force that only she can create... Crimson Ties' premise is fresh and engaging, enthralling the readers with sharp writing and sinfully dynamic characters and detailed settings. This is one paranormal tale that you do not want to miss!
