CRAVE<\/b><\/a>, the second book in my already popular Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series<\/i><\/a>, is out now and I’ve been focusing on this book in my Saturday and Sunday Snippets!<\/p>\n

So, here’s the blurb for this hot new erotic vampire romance novella and the first part of chapter two. You can read chapter one in this previous post<\/a>. Or you can find the parts of this chapter I’ve been posting in my snippets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crave<\/b><\/span><\/a>
Felicity Heaton<\/b>
His mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.<\/p>\n

Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.<\/p>\n

Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his child and she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not about to live through the same nightmare as her mother had. When a tall, dark and sexy vampire catches her eye, she can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe the ferocity of the desire he unleashes in her or the fact that she enjoys the feel of his eyes on her and his silent pursuit of her in the clubs each night.<\/p>\n

When Kristina finally gets a taste of Callum in a forbidden kiss, will she be strong enough to resist the allure of the vampire and his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled, wild sex, or will she surrender to her own craving for the safety and passion she finds in his embrace?<\/p>\n

EXCERPT<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

A firm cool hand on her shoulder caused her to jump. The start of a shriek escaped her before she clamped down hard on it and the world whirled past her in a blur of blue and purple neon and laser lights. A hard wall of black slammed against her and a low threatening snarl curled out over the pumping music.<\/p>\n

Her instincts sparked, senses zeroing in on the male werewolf at her back and the dark presence of vampire in front of her. The vampire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s arm tightened around her, pressing her to his chest, and he snarled again, a feral sound that a werewolf would have been proud of making. The werewolf growled back but it lacked the strength and ferocity of the vampire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, sounding weak and tailing off at the end.<\/p>\n

Kristina glanced up at her unlikely saviour, looking past the strong defined line of his jaw and the sensual mouth that had sent her head spinning with only a kiss, beyond his straight nose that said he might be an aristocrat vampire, to the red coals of his irises and the vertical slits of his pupils. He growled again, bearing his fangs. They were enormous now, fully extended as he threatened the werewolf behind her.<\/p>\n

The werewolf snarled back at him and she sensed the two other male werewolves rise from their seats, heading out of the booth to back up their leader.<\/p>\n

Kristina wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure how to defuse the situation before it exploded. She did the first thing that came to her.<\/p>\n

She tiptoed, caught the vampire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheek in her palm, and kissed him. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
The werewolves behind her stopped moving. The vampire froze against her, his mouth slack and unmoving. With all four males shocked, Kristina made her move. She grabbed the vampire\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hand, twisted out of his embrace, and dragged him into the crowd. They had made it halfway across the dance floor before she heard the werewolf growl and felt the vampire come back to his senses. His hand shifted in hers and he spun her into his arms. He looked down at her, the flicker of coloured lights over his face turning his eyes from red to blue to purple and back again. <\/p>\n

Kristina expected him to shout at her, or try to escape her grasp and return to fight the werewolf, or do something.<\/p>\n

He just stood there in the middle of the dance floor staring at her.<\/p>\n

His pupils gradually widened, switching back to their normal state, and the colour of his irises shifted, so the lights now made them flicker between green, blue and purple.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to bite you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said in a low voice that she barely heard over the music and stepped towards her, until she could sense his body close to hers and the temptation to move the bare few inches and bring them against each other hummed through her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But he was.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The hard look that entered his emerald eyes caused her to divert hers and she stared past him, not wanting to admit that he was right and the male werewolf had intended to mark her right there in front of everyone and she had been too weak and scared to do anything about it. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your name?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she whispered and shoved her weakness away, cleared her throat, lifted her chin and looked directly into his eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think I have a right to know the name of my hero.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hero?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He laughed and shook his head, causing a silken strand of his long black hair to drift down against his cheek. He casually swept it back behind his ear, so it curled around it, and then smiled at her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m hardly the good guy here… but you can call me Callum.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Callum. Cal. Although he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look like the sort of man who would easily accept someone shortening his name without permission.<\/p>\n

Kristina bravely closed the gap between them and ran her hands over the soft black cotton of his obviously expensive shirt. His chest was granite hard beneath the material, the feel of it sending a hum of pleasure through her body as she recalled the strength of his grip when he had kissed her and when he had rescued her from one of her own kind. She slid her palms up to his strong broad shoulders, looped them around his neck, and started to move against him. <\/p>\n

He kept perfectly still, the calm confidence in his eyes melting away to allow something akin to confusion to surface.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well, Callum.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She tipped her head back and looked up into his eyes. They were locked on hers, searching, probing, as though hers might tell him what she was up to and what she intended to get out of him by swaying in his arms. His pupils dilated with the first brush of her hips across his and his bowed lips parted to reveal the barest trace of straight white teeth. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you want to know my name?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Kristina rotated her hips into his and held her nerve when she felt the growing bulge in his black trousers. He looked beautifully startled when she pressed her groin against his, moving up and down his body, teasing him with the friction.<\/p>\n
