Not really into vampire chicks, or even the thought of making it with one, but who knows, what could happen with one looking and being built like Kate Beckinsale. Thanks for another gripping and entertaining story. :-)

Exciting, thrilling, edge of the seat story. You've taken what could be the obvious and turned into something daring and sensuous. The characters are fantastic, the plot slick and satisfying. Great read. Wow.

Hot and cold. You've handled the vampire theme well. The setting in the beginning is just right for a sunsuous start. No one is able to see her but Emmit.

All through the story, he senses something is not right, but submits to passion anyway. That, I think, is natural and very artistically dealt.

In the ending swings between many options, will she kill him, will she let him go? No, finally they decide to stay together. That was the best option. A good ending!

A very erotic and captivating story that climaxed with the characters. Emmit's struggle between knowing what he wanted & that nagging feeling that something was wrong. How could he resist the wiles of a vampiress. The ending was quite unexpected... an ongoing relationship? has the makings of a series. A believer in vampires might disagree with your author notes though & say that you wrote this from experience :O) I'm actually surprised that he survived the physical act.

bar-tender = one word, no hyphen
grabbed both his hands, and penned them to the bed = she's a writer too ? (pinned ?)

A couple typos won't take away from the stars it deserves.

Sensuality oozing from the pages, an awesome read.

Best of luck in the contest

OMG That is the best Vampire story I have read in years. It would make a great short film. I am extremely impressed with the way you have been able to go outside the box of the stereotypical vampire legend. This is, I'll say again, the best I've ever read. You build the story nicely, the passion is so strong it gave me an erection.

Then you tie in the human caring with a loving vampire with a human desire for love. Way to go, way to go!

Thank you for the best read I've had in a long time.

You are really letting loose with the courage to go for it, I'm loving it!

G

Wow! This is really well done for the topic. I'm impressed. I thought she would kill him and it would be just another horror story. But you created the perfect ending! This looks like a winner to me. :)

    Thank you very much. I did write a version where she does kill him and then goes back to the club the next day for another guy.

Are you sure you don't already write for Play Boy or Hustler or something? lol Great story, super characters and a lot of passion without vulgarity. Excellent read. If you don't win this contest I'm gonna be pissed. Terrie

sen.su.al.i.ty [sen-shoo-al-I-tee]

noun, plural sen.su.al.i.ties.

1. sensual nature: the sensuality of Keats's poetry.

2. unrestrained indulgence in sensual pleasures.

3. lewdness; unchastity.

I lean towards my belief that your well written story falls on the third definition of the meanings of the word, sensuality here, Lance. But I really enjoyed it! (Is that wrong?)

Now, why do our characters do stupid things in horror/thriller stories? Well, because there wouldn't be a story if they didn't, right? When Emmitt heard Eva speaking in his head, and she knew his name even before he'd told her; in the real world, seductively tantalizing or not, we're runnun' away from the bitch! But, not Emmitt. He leaves with Eva, even though he has an uneasy feeling about her. It's as if he was hypnotized. In other words, Emmitt did what most guys do. He allowed the little head to do the thinking for his larger, more brainy one.

And, talk about your rough lays! Eva could put the most experienced dominatrix to shame, hands down. Crushing hands, breaking bed boards (and nearly Emmitt's bones!)...Couldn't it be said, however, given Eva's unique disposition, that she was still a... dead lay? Heh heh.

Well, all in all, at least it worked out for the both of them. Now, they've vowed to live? a life together as boyfriend and girlfiend. Well, you know what they say? Opposites attract!

Well done, Lancellot!

"He swallowed a dry throat at the sight of her dark nipples..."---->Really?! He swallowed his own throat? Of course I'm joking you a bit here, Lance. However, as it's written, that's what it sounds like. Perhaps: He choked down a dry swallow. That would convey both, that his mouth and throat were dry, and that Emmitt was trying his best to swallow.

"Emmit let out a sigh of relief, and thought his ordeal was over."---->Left off the "h" in "his", here, Lance.

    Thank you very much, Dean. I think you right about that line, it doesn't make sense. I will change it.

Well, if this isn't a winner, I don't know what is. Wonderful details and use of sensory imagery to convey what's happening in the story. I especially liked the conflict between warm & cold sensations as the two characters made love. Excellent job. Good luck in the contest.
