Hello and welcome to another Hump Day Hook. I have finally
decided to tear myself away from the Redcliffe novels and offer you a little
something different. Here is an excerpt from my as yet unpublished novella The
Darkenss of Love. It follows the story of Marcus Scott, who appears in
Redcliffe, and is set during the industrious Victorian era. This snippet is an
intimate scene between Lord Gregory Stockton and his beautiful young wife,
Sarah.
“My dear, I
am sorry,” he said quietly, “I forget how sensitive you are to cool
temperatures. Allow me to warm
you.”
He slid
his hands down her sides, smoothing over the rich taffeta, and she stood very
still, enjoying his caress despite her embarrassment at his bold
behaviour. Resting his hands on her
hips, Gregory lowered his handsome youthful face and tenderly kissed her
rosebud lips. His body reacted as it
always did to her tenderness. She was
delicate, so beautiful, and always so compliant for him. His teeth itched as his fangs fought to free
themselves, and it took all his self-control not to bite her white skin, and
drink deeply of her sweet blood.
If you enjoyed this one, why not pop over to our dedicated

romance, love, science fiction, fantasy, erotica and everything in-between, so

You are welcome, thank you for the lovely comment!
DeleteHe should definitely bite her....(((Fanning self))) Nicely done. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, we are such a naughty lot here at HDH! Thanks!
Deleteoooh, I like that he's holding himself back for her sake. It makes me want to see what happens when he lets loose! Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to see him when he lets loose! But, being a vampire, it is bound to happen eventually... Thanks for commenting!
DeleteOh my...steamy and sweet and...again, need to know more. Lovely hook!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I do quite like the mix of romance and roughness in this one.
DeleteOh, yummy. Sounds like he's got it tough. Just love the picture <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! He certainly has!
Deletelol, my men shrug and say: "When you have to bite, you have to bite." I think they bless the inevitable next step.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, well your men are just plain naughty Ciaran! Lord Stockton has a public reputation to uphold, and his wife cannot be ill all the time... ; )
DeleteHmm, after reading that, my vamps and I have two things: First, does she know? And second, why would he hold back (unless she doesn't know, as that would be a good reason)? Bloodplay makes for excellent foreplay...I'm sure that they would both be completely satisfied with the experience. ;)
ReplyDeleteShe is completely innocent and clueless about her husband, but she has her own secrets as well!
DeleteA tender moment for a vampire! Such restraint shows a lot about his character!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does, although as I said, this is only the beginning of the story and Gregory shows his darker side very soon... ; )
