Free Survive the Dawn by Kate Sweeney

ridiculous bridge into freezing water for what? Because you enjoy the company and physical pleasures of another woman?” Leigh shook her head. “Darling, come with me. I will show you a life where you may have whatever you choose.” She closed the distance between them.
    Nina looked into her eyes and swayed slightly. “Anything I want?”
    Leigh sported a toothy grin. She reached up and caressed her cheek. “Anything, my darling. Anything your heart desires,” she whispered. “You may kiss me, Nina.”
    Nina was lost, lost in a haze of lust, lost in her loneliness that she hoped would someday end. She saw the end and the beginning in Leigh’s hypnotic gaze. She leaned in, tentatively touching her lips against Leigh’s, and moaned deeply when she felt the full lips return her kiss.
    Leigh pulled back and grinned. “That was just the beginning, my darling. Come,” she whispered in a mesmerizing voice. She reached down and took Nina’s hand. “Eternity awaits.”
    They walked off the bridge and into the foggy night.

    Nina let out an amused laugh. Oh, how Leigh showed her what life was like as a vampire. Her worthless life as a mortal paled in comparison to this new existence.
    At first, Nina was shocked when Leigh told her she was a vampire. It was impossible, but when Leigh allowed her to accompany her into the night to see exactly what Leigh was talking about, Nina was once again captivated.
    She remembered the night Leigh sired her, the night as she stood in the shadows of the bedroom and watched, spellbound, as Leigh toyed with the mortal…

    The young Englishwoman, who was lying stretched out on the bed, watched Leigh, naked as she walked around the bed as if stalking her prey. Nina knew that was exactly what she was doing. Leigh glanced in the shadows and winked at Nina as she moved around the bed.
    “So, darling, you want me, is that it?” Leigh asked the woman.
    “Yes, very much. I’ve noticed you so many times in London at the theater, and I—”
    Leigh put her hand up. “I get the general idea, darling. You adore me. Stop chattering and stand up.”
    The woman looked confused as she slid off the bed and stood.
    “Disrobe,” Leigh said. “Do it now.”
    “B-but—”
    “Do it now or I shall leave,” Leigh said in a dead calm voice.
    The woman started with trembling hands and untied the bodice of her dress, then the many buttons in the front, until the dress fell to a heap at her feet.
    “Continue,” Leigh urged and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. She reached out and lightly ran her fingers up and down the woman’s arm.
    Nina watched in the shadows, realizing she was becoming increasingly aroused by this display. She was in awe at the power and control Leigh wielded over this woman—Nina wanted such power.
    The woman stepped out of the dress and Leigh kicked it out of the way. She then crossed her legs, lazily swinging her leg back and forth. “Hurry, my dear.”
    Quickly, the young woman slipped out of the undergarments and stood naked before Leigh. “Very lovely.” Leigh slid back against the pillows and parted her legs. “I believe you have an idea of what happens next, darling. Do not disappoint me. Use that tongue for something else besides inane chatter.”
    The woman tentatively crawled onto the bed and between Leigh’s thighs.
    Nina watched as the woman lowered her head and Leigh let out a contented sigh; she ran her fingers through the woman’s hair and pulled her close. “Very good,” she whispered.
    Nina watched Leigh’s beautiful body writhe as the woman pleasured her, her long blond hair blanketing the pillow, her red lips parted slightly. Nina breathed deeply when she heard a deep moan escape from Leigh. In a moment, Leigh was panting with the onset of her orgasm. A few moments later, she howled and arched off the bed.
    Completely aroused, Nina fought the urge to touch herself as she watched Leigh’s eyes turn a deep blood red, her fangs protruding from her
