A Game Of Chess With A Vampire
[SLOW BURN ROMANCE. RATED 18: NO RAPE] What if the sort of love you'd wanted and desired, only but a man incapable of love could give it to you–a man who has not the slightest of an idea what the word "Love" meant? ..... Vampires coexisted with humans for centuries without either side hunting or killing the other due to a peace treaty. They didn’t feed on human blood for so long either, but that changes when the first vampire auction is held. Six human slaves were sold, and among them included Avelina, a twenty-six-year-old woman. Avelina is sold to an infamous Vampire prince, Draven Delgaard, rumored to have committed heinous acts even amongst his kind. She fears for her life upon their first encounter, but to her utmost bewilderment, Draven Delgaard makes a deal with her. He sought the inheritance of the royal family, but to be qualified, he needed a wife. Since his kinds weren’t available due to his reputation, Avelina was one of the few options left. In exchange for her freedom, she will assist him in obtaining the inheritance. But this royal inheritance can only be acquired through the style of a chess game with other royal opponents. A game of strategy and survival. Should she succeed, her freedom shall be regained and it would be a win-win for both her and Draven. However, she soon realizes that success might come at a very heavy cost. Will Avelina and Draven be able to win the game of chess? Will they secure her freedom and inheritance, or will they fall victim to the dangerous machinations of the royal family?
What If I Die Tomorrow?
When Avelina had stepped into that hall earlier, he'd wanted to take her well-adorned, lovely curls down—to pull them loose and spread them through his fingers. Her hair was so long and beautiful, undone.
He'd imagined for a moment back there running his fingers through her hair, uncovering the wonders of what Avelina would be like undone in other ways. What would she reveal to him when he uncovers her, and what would he make her discover about herself?
Draven could not figure out or understand why. He could not comprehend why he felt that way about her. This was something he had never experienced with his late wife. In fact, he felt rather normal and neutral around her. But with Avelina…it was different.
He felt excitement—the urge to commit something completely insane and wicked! Something he would never find himself craving to do with any other woman.
