Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. Here is an excerpt
from my new Victorian vampire novel The Darkness of Love. It tells the
story of the vampire Marcus Scott from the Redcliffe novels, from the time when
he was human…
“Someone is approaching!”
Sarah whispered.
She moved away from Marcus
and he jumped to his feet, hurriedly straightening his clothes. Sarah sat, fanning her face with her hand,
and looked up to see Gregory and Amelia walking through the archway and along
the path.
“Ah, my dear, there you are,” Gregory
called, “We were wondering where you had got to.”
Sarah stood slowly, and Marcus bowed to his master, and waited for instruction. He hoped they had not seen his embrace with Lady Stockton. He would most definitely be turned out of the house for this. He could barely even process what had just happened. Had Lady Stockton really offered herself to him? Had she asked him to be her lover? It seemed ridiculous. Perhaps he was dreaming.

ReplyDeleteI hope they don't look too guilty. It sounds like the attraction is raging here :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, they have no idea of the dangerous game they are playing... ; )
DeleteJeez, what a time to have to pretend you were just talking about the weather. Nice hook and I love the Victorian Era.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Oh yes, it gives so much scope for the imagination.
DeleteDamn that was a very bad timing. It sounds so dangerous. I'm not sure they would just kick him out, he might as well end up getting out the feet first.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed! Thanks for stopping by.
