Excerpt from the novel
“May I look through your library?” she asked,
examining my bookcases.
“Sure.” I was uneasy with her tendency to ask
permission after the fact.
She looked at the titles for several minutes then
pulled out Dr. Bova’s book on immortality and extending life. “Immortal life
holds a fascination for you,” she said. “You’ll find living a long time doesn’t
bring the answers to the questions you seek.”
“Am I to assume you know that from personal
experience?”
She put her finger under my chin and kissed me on the
lips. “I’ve seen the passing of more seasons then you could ever imagine.
Perhaps, if I like you, I’ll tell you about them.”
“That would be interesting.” I'm being seduced by a vampire. Am I out of my freaking mind?
“Hush,” Nessa said, as if she could hear my thoughts.
She brushed my cheek with her fingertips, pressed her lips to mine, and parted
them with her tongue.
“Come.” She led me to
my bedroom
