Excerpt (Dark Desire):

    Julie was breathless from several dances and sat down with Kate and Charles. 

    “You’re popular tonight, Julie.” Charles was quick to observe with a smile. 

    She fluttered her fan to help cool herself down. “Yes, I’ve danced almost every dance and I’m really enjoying myself.”  

    “And has anyone caught your eye?” Kate teased. 

    Julie laughed. “No, I’m afraid not.” 

    “You’ll find someone worthy one day.” Charles pointed out kindly. “In the meantime, you can put me down for a dance.”

     “Why, thank you, kind sir.” She put a mark on her dance card. The evening was going well and she was having fun, until Julie happened to look up and see a dark head through the crowd. People moved away and the man looked straight at her. It was him!  Her heart jumped in response and she felt hot and flustered. What did this mean? She was dreaming about a man touching her - whom she’d never met – one who actually did exist!

    The crowd closed together again and the man disappeared from Julie’s sight. Feeling faint with shock, she was desperate for some fresh air and excused herself from her friends. On trembling legs and with a quivering stomach, Julie made her way to the garden outside and stood in the shadows of a tree. Closing her eyes, she leant back in its shade and took several deep breaths to try and calm herself. 

    “Hello, Julie,” drawled a deep voice from behind her. 

    His voice. From her dreams. It really was him. 

    She gulped, before opening her eyes and spinning around. “Who are you?” She demanded. 

    The man smiled at her and his brilliant blue eyes pierced her soul. “My name is Liam. Liam Devereaux, Lord Alton.” 

    Liam. Her mystery lover in her dreams finally had a name and Julie couldn’t look away from his mesmerising eyes.  

    “How are your dreams, Julie?” 

    She gasped in shock. “How do you know about my dreams?” She was mortified. He couldn’t possibly know she’d dreamt about him.

    “Because they’re not dreams, my sweet.” He looked intently at her. “I really have been visiting you in your bedroom.” He stepped towards her, and began to lightly run a finger over the cleavage peeking out from her bodice. “You’ve let me in, to kiss you; suck on your delightful, tight nipples - and best of all, open your petals and taste your sweet nectar.” 

    Julie stood frozen to the spot, taking in his words, but unable to react in any way. This couldn’t be happening, the rational part of her brain tried to tell her......

Excerpt:

It appeared that there would be no respite for me—for us—after all.

To be honest, it made me angry.

Once again, I wondered if I wanted to keep this up for weeks or months on end.

Despite the obvious luxuries of my accommodations—including no worries for expenses such as room and board or tuition, coupled with the opportunity that going to Yale afforded me—it certainly didn’t feel like I was living a lifestyle of enviable quality.

Or at least the expected sacrifices felt like too much of a price to pay.

Somehow, being poorer but happier sounded better to me. I’d lived a modest lifestyle for most of my life, and yet it had been some of the most satisfying occasions in my life. Before Kat, I had lived a relatively fulfilling life devoid of vampire politics, hectic schedules, or people trying to kill me.

Granted, it had also been a life without Kat in it.

Although she didn’t exactly feel like part of my life, either recently or at that moment.

What if this was as good as things would be between us for a while? Was it enough for me?

I took a sip of what had turned into very tepid coffee.

Despite my circumstances, the fact remained that I needed a break.

I need to contemplate things…my life…my future.

That’s when a decision settled in my mind, and I rose from my seat with a renewed sense of purpose.

I practically jogged back to the house, entering through the front door and hearing complete silence.

It was a soothing sound.

As I closed the front door behind me and looked toward the nearby staircase, much to my surprise, my sense of determination hadn’t waned.

I took the stairs two at a time, almost giddy with a mix of apprehension and excitement. As I entered my bedroom, I dropped my backpack onto the bed and unloaded most everything from it.

I had a plan.

However, how I proceeded during the ensuing minutes would determine my hasty plan’s success or failure.

I realized that I couldn’t use my credit cards or other electronic payment methods; they’d track me down in no time. Instead, I retrieved a stash of cash that I had stored in my chest of drawers and hastily crammed three pairs of jeans, some trendy t-shirts, a spare pair of sneakers, and a few days’ worth of underclothes into my backpack.

Scanning my belongings, I realized I’d have to leave my electronic devices behind or they’d track their usage. It was already bad enough I had a locator chip implanted in my shoulder. I felt a little bit like a tagged animal.

But I only had to exceed range of the detection equipment to drop off that particular radar.

The problem was staying ahead of it.

Granted, they’d probably still locate me in a matter of days, but that’s all I needed; just a few precious days to clear my head and gather my thoughts.

I glanced forlornly at my iPad on the table.

I’d miss it.

Nevertheless, I grabbed my Kindle and two iPods that were loaded with movies and music. As long as I kept their wireless functionality turned off, they couldn’t be tracked. Like my smartphone, my iPad had built-in cellular functionality, presenting the risk of being tracked.

There was little doubt that I was addicted to consumer electronics and their contributions to daily escapism in my life.

Hell, the entire human race was addicted.

It dawned on me that technology served as both the ultimate babysitter and an emotional pacifier.

I hurried into the bathroom to toss additional necessities into my backpack. I glanced up into the mirror at my reflection, noting the haunted look in my eyes.

The renewed urge to leave welled up inside me; though a wave of guilt washed over me over how upset the people who loved and cared about me were going to feel.

Then I almost lost my nerve.

But I knew deep down inside that getting away was exactly what I needed at that moment.

Just a few days of contemplation and solitude.

God, Kat’s going kill me for this.

Hopefully not literally.

I swallowed hard and steeled my resolve.

It’s not like it was forever.

Was it?

While I felt unnerved, I also felt liberated.

I’ve gotta clear my head. I’m no good to anyone like this.

Zipping my backpack shut, I hurried downstairs.

I left a hastily written note on the countertop:

Paige and Roman,

I’m taking a few days to clear my head and gain perspective on my life. I hope you’ll forgive me for leaving so abruptly, but I doubt you would approve what I need to do. Even though I can’t expect you to understand what I’m

going through, I hope you’ll respect my decision.

I’ll message you periodically so that you won’t worry about me.

Caleb

I figured that it was a pretty lame note, but it was the best I felt I could do on short notice.

Before I lost nerve, I exited through the front door, locking the door behind me.

Despite my reservations about continuing, I had scarcely reached the curb before an aura of satisfaction took root within me.

I smiled, feeling a pervasive sense of freedom and the hunger for possibilities like none I had ever felt before.....

Excerpt:

I love the way he looks at me, and the way he treats me as a person, something

about him makes me fall for him more and more every day. I think I’m in love with

him.

Out of the blue, Tim and Carrie came towards us.

“Hey you lovebirds. What a surprise seeing you guys here.”

“Hey Carrie, it’s so nice to see you.” I got up and gave her a hug.

“What are you doing here?”

“Well I was in the mood for pancakes and I didn’t feel like cooking breakfast

so I asked Tim to bring me here.”

“Mind if we join you guys?”

Carrie couldn’t believe he would want to interrupt them. ”Honey, it’s her day

off don’t you think we should go and let them enjoy their day together?”

“You’re right my love.” He looked at Bobby-James. “Sorry I don’t know what I

was thinking.”

“No worries Bud! It’s all good.”

“See you guys tonight.” Tim waved goodbye to us as they went to find their

own table.

Bobby-James looked at Rebecca. “See I told you that the pancakes were

amazing. Tim and Carrie came.”

I started flirting with him. “You love to tease me don’t you?”

“In so many ways.” He leaned in to give me a kiss. I leaned into him and

accepted his hot mouth.

A young fan came towards Bobby-James with his mom. You could see the

excitement in his face.

“Bobby-James #43! Can I have your autograph?”

“Of course you can. Thanks for supporting the team.” Bobby-James posed

while the young fan’s mother took their picture.

Before his mother made him leave he told Bobby-James. “Thanks keep up

the great work.”

“Aww how cute.”

“Yes. That happens all the time. Now where were we?” His eyes burned with

passion.

I cleared my throat before I told him. “You were kissing me.”......
