Free Erotic Flash: A Vampire's Seduction by Elixa Everett

him, and in one swift motion she produced and arrow, loaded it into the bow, raised it to him and shot!
    Lance jerked back just in time to feel the rush of the arrow as it shot past his face.
    Damn. She was an amazing shot, he'd give her that. She'd actually gotten him a couple of times over the past year, lucky for him despite her skill he was incredibly fast and the wounds healed quickly. They still hurt like a bitch though.

    She didn't wait to see if she hit him, she bolted for the steel door that led into the building. It was her lucky night. The door was unlocked so she disappeared inside.
    He thought back to the first time she'd gotten him with an arrow. He had gotten way too cocky and let her get to close for too long. He hadn't even noticed when she grabbed for an arrow, it wasn't until she hit him just an inch below his heart that he had realized what happened. He hadn't wasted time getting out of there and he kept his distance from her some several weeks afterward.

The second time he had been sleeping. She had somehow found out where he was taking up residence, snuck in during the day while he was sleeping and attempted to stake him in his sleep. He had woken just to see the stake barrelling towards his heart. He moved from harms way, but not so fast that he missed being stabbed entirely. She drove the stake through his left arm that time.
    It was during that second time, in his bedroom, with her standing over him, rage and determination in flickering in her eyes that he realized just how attracted he was to her.
    He had grabbed her with her good arm, and used it to throw her to the mattress beside him. In the blink of an eye he was straddling her, with his one good arm he pinned both of hers over her head. He had grunted from the pain as he used his injured, bleeding arm to snatch the stake from her pinned hand and toss it across the room.
    She had fought for a minute before realizing that fighting was useless. Even injured he was far too strong to be overpowered. They stayed like that, both glaring into each other's eyes for several minutes, blood seeping from the stab wound in his arm.
    That was when he had kissed her for the first time, he couldn't restrain himself. She was just too sexy laying there under him, chest heaving, eyes on fire, with rage evident in them. Her blood pulsing rapidly through her veins, no mortal or immortal man would have been able to restrain themselves, in that situation.
    His lips came crashing down on hers, his tongue demanding entrance between her moist, soft lips. She gave in to him, her lips parted slightly and her tongue fought for dominance over his. While she may have denied it then and would deny it even now, he knew she felt the spark between them as much as he had.
    He had done many horrible, heinous things in his life, but forcing himself on a woman was not one of them and he did not intend to start then. Reluctantly he ended the kiss as quickly as it began. To his surprise, as he began to pull away she moved with him, her chest heaving, muscles straining against his grasp and captured his lips once more. He allowed himself be to lead back down to the mattress, to the taste of her mouth. She tasted of cinnamon, sweet cinnamon. No woman, human or vampire had tasted so good to him.
    When he released her hands, she moved them to the back of his head, one holding the nape of his neck, while the other found its way into his short blond hair. He moaned as she deepened their kiss pulling his head down closer, forcing more from him. His lips left her mouth and he began placing small kisses over her chin, across her jaw and found their way to her neck. He kissed and nipped her neck, causing her to moan under his lips.
    She froze under him then. The body that was writhing under him moments earlier, had stopped moving as she went completely still. With all the force she could muster, she threw him off her. He landed on the floor beside the bed with a thud. A little dazed from
