"Lucien's lips brushed against her ear as he spoke, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine. His voice was low and intimate, each word caressing her skin with a tantalizing blend of menace and allure. She felt the heat of his breath travel down her neck, causing her pulse to quicken. His proximity was overwhelming, the scent of his cologne-something rich and exotic-filling her senses and making her head swim.
As he pulled back, his eyes locked onto hers, the candlelight reflecting in their azure depths, making them seem almost hypnotic. He watched her reaction with a smug satisfaction, clearly pleased with the effect he had on her.
Lucy shuddered, unable to discern whether it was from fear or an excitement she was unwilling to acknowledge. Her skin tingled where his breath had touched, and she felt an unfamiliar warmth spreading through her, confusing and unnerving her in equal measure."

Taking inspiration from a few classic romance novels, as well as gothic (vampire) novels

In The Dark by PaleRoseCharm
18 parts Ongoing
When Kayla returns to her childhood home for summer break, she expects nothing more than hazy days spent behind her camera and restless nights scrolling through her phone. But that all changes when she meets Vasile. With his hypnotic presence, sharp wit, and a smile that never quite reaches his eyes, Vasile is unlike anyone Kayla has ever met. What begins as an innocent curiosity spirals into irresistible obsession. Vasile's presence stirs something deep within her: a desire she can't quite name, but one that pulls her in even as her instincts scream for caution. His touch is gentle, his words soft, but there's a shadow behind his smile, something he's hiding. She can't shake the feeling that there's more than meets the eye-something dark, ancient -- something not entirely human.

Hoping to shake this human off once and for all, I twisted my body around rapidly with a plan to put my words into action. When I was on my way to push this man as deep into the floor as possible my body all of the sudden went rigid. When my body froze solid, so did my brain. It took me several seconds to get out of my trance and when I finally did, all that was running through my mind were two words. Those eyes. All of the feelings that I had been hiding for the last 160 years were now coming crashing down on me. They were literally shooting out from this human's eyes like fire. A fire that burned into my core.

I inhaled her scent, making sure she wasn't on anything that I wouldn't want in my system, letting the sweet scent of her blood call to my hidden fangs. They descended and I nuzzled my way down her neck, teasing the flesh above the sweet spot before sinking my teeth into her, letting just a small taste of her blood touch my tongue. I savoured it, letting the flavours tell me all about her diet and health. Deciding that she was satisfactory, I allowed her blood to flow freely into my mouth while I held her still with one hand and... ********** Cover from Google Images ⚠️ 18+ only or read at your own risk Very mature and sexual content and language 63k words

Warning: DARK ROMANCE Story contains detailed mature scenes possessing dubious consent not recommended for age group below 18 years old. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Prologue Shadows engulfed his angelic features oozing devilish intentions. It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips. Description Had it been upto him he'd have broken her down to pieces and never put her togather, instead, he let her build herself, he watched her collapse and stand, die and live, float and drown all the while playing her body like a putty in his hand. Her husband had never been gentle, his ways was one of his kind. He read her like a book and used her spells against her. She was vividly aware of what she was getting herself into but nothing could prepare her for the don who brought everyone on his feet and she was no exception. How would she survive his ways or even would she?

BOOK TWO HIGHEST RANK #212 in Vampire Cover by @playboystiles I walked through the dark alley. I was moving for an hour now with him by myside. He held my hand and smiled at me. My meduim-lengthed white-dyed hair swinged by and brushed my shoulder every now and then. My ice blue eyes were fixed to the amazing man beside me. His touch, his voice, his smile. Everything about him amazes me. "I love you Gabriella." He whispered. "I love you." I kissed his cheek. Then again came the voices... Sometimes I do hear the voices again and again... Calling for me. But I never get to hear them right. My head was fuming from all the missing puzzles in my mind. I had so many questions but I knew that my fiance couldn't answer them either. Afterall, we did meet in the rehabilitation center. He doesn't know anything about me. Hell, I know nothing about me. Then again came these voices. They were stronger than ever and I was able to hear them clearly now. "Carter..." They called. But who's Carter? ..
