In the next second his vampiric hearing picked up a shuffling noise. He cracked his lids and scanned the room through his lashes. His tongue nearly disappeared down his throat when he caught the sight of long legs covered in hip-hugging jeans, a luscious butt and a tiny waist. Thick, blond hair curled gracefully at the ends, caressing from shoulders to waist. Alex had the sudden desire to feel those silken tresses draped over his bare skin.

His brain shifted from sleep to seduction in a flash. His muscles twitched, jumping in preparation of making his move. A quick swipe of his tongue added a masculine shine to his lips. Her head turned slightly and a painful tinge accompanied his fangs biting into his bottom lip.

Would she be as gorgeous from the front?

That would be a yes.

He bit back a groan, tasting blood as his fangs pierced skin.

Perfect, porcelain skin was accented by a few strategically placed freckles that gave her an intoxicating innocence. Her full lips lifted at the corners to form a smile, her eyes sparkled as they met his.

A tremble he’d never experienced before started in the tip of his toes and spread to the wavy ends of his hair. This new feeling was unnerving, frighteningly unnerving. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. Didn’t want to.
