Today I would like to post an excerpt from In Shadows. I hope you enjoy it.
Excerpt:
"This is Miss Ariana Dallenhauf and she is betrothed to Mr. Nathaniel Preston." Dimitri swept his arm toward Ariana to draw his brother's eye to her near perfection.
Trevaun smiled and shook his head ruefully. He, too, had read her mind and now knew the whole truth. "Even I wouldn't be so cruel, Dimitri. She is but a child, and one not long before her wedding day, I might add."
"True, she is. I find that I want her all the more because of it." He walked up to her and gently caressed her hair. She stood perfectly still, looking longingly into his eyes. "So much beauty, so delicate, so desirable," Dimitri said as he looked upon her. Being unexpectedly drawn to Ariana was puzzling to him because a human had never had that kind of effect on him before.
Being near her, his bloodlust began to intensify, the beast within would soon take over, and he would have to have her. As the beast stirred, his eyes began to glow and his teeth lengthen. He gently kissed her, while struggling to hold back his ferocious nature. He had already decided he would be a gentleman about taking her, if such a thing could be done.
He tilted her head back and she completely gave in, going any direction he turned her. She began to tremble so he stopped and just looked at her. She felt desire burning within and reached behind herself to loosen her dress, pulled it gently off her shoulder, and guided it downward until it pooled at her feet.
