It’s not
easy being gorgeous…and deadly…
After I dropped the
bank deposit, I stopped at one of the mall’s two Starbuck’s locations to get
some coffee. I really hoped that I’d reached my drama quotient for the day. I
had plenty of customers and UPS brought a large-ish delivery I had to unpack.
Herbert stayed hidden in his secret spider hideyhole, so I didn’t have him to
impede me from getting things done. I was feeling pretty mellow—until I had to
take out two vamps on my way home.
I was headed for the
bus when I smelled the first one. He was strolling along pretending to shop
while he looked for a meal. Could be he really was looking at the selection in
the windows of Wilson’s Leather? Not. I ducked behind a big sign that showed a
map of the mall. Jai came out dressed in a black cat suit with glossy CFM
pumps.
☠
I loved the outfit. It was always a thrill to move around in the
stretchy black fabric and feel my bum up high and my thighs in tight. Oh yeah.
I coughed.
Nothing. Glanced in the vampire’s direction. He saw me looking. I started
walking slowly towards a dark corner. He was closing in. When he was nearly on
me I turned to face him.
“Hey Junior,
you’re crowding me,” I said, pulling my shoulders back. Yeah, he was checking
out the merchandise. He closed the gap between us quicker than I could see.
“So pretty,” he
said as he pulled me close.
His hands
covered my breasts, finding nipple through the thin spandex. I always gave them
a minute to play before Mr. Sticky, well, stuck. Guess I’m not above a cheap
thrill. This one had long wavy black hair and the cutest little soul patch
under his lip. He’d been young when he got turned, and he hadn’t been a vampire
long. I leaned into him, gently biting his lower lip right above the little
tuft of surprisingly soft hair.
It was sad,
really.
He came in
closer, aiming for my neck. Before he could sink his teeth in, I had the blade
in my hand. Up, right, back. Mr. Sticky went through the vampire’s sternum like
it was butter. Switch hands. Pull out the heart. Vampire dust. It was never
very messy because their blood is thick and molasses dark. It tastes like moldy
fruit. Don’t ask me how I know that.
There was just
enough time for me to duck into a shadow before I turned back to Kristen.

I don't usually read vampire books or watch the movies, but this one actually sounds good! I would give it to my cousin, but do think I'd read it first!
