In this snippet from WIP The Order of the Dragon, Drake MacGregor has lost control of his vampiric hunger and bitten Dr. Aliandra Cantora. This is from his perspective.
Two things registered to his hunger-fogged brain. The first was the unbelievable richness of her blood, richer than any blood he’d ever tasted. It filled his mouth like the legendary elixir of life and warmed his body from the inside out.
The second thing was a terrible snarl echoing through the room just before Dr. Cantora flung him bodily over the medical bench to crash into the metal shelves filled with lead aprons.
Drake opened his eyes to stare up at the woman towering over him, her eyes blazing with iridescent green fire as she held her neck with one taloned hand.
“What in the name of all that’s holy do you think you’re doing?!”
Hell hath no fury like a dragon bitten... ;) Thank you for stopping by and happy reading. :)
Oooh, "one taloned hand." Love it and I can just imagine her dragon-y eyes. Great 6, Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteHa! More than he bargained for. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your six, looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteEXCITING scene. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteOoops! Great tension and action.
ReplyDeleteOh, great twist! Absolutely loving this.
ReplyDeleteNice! I love the description of the taste of her blood.
ReplyDeleteOhhh something tells me she's not happy about being bitten. But love the description of the bite. Maybe she'll come around to his way of thinking?

Oh my! Something tells me he's in for it now, LOL! (But I'm pretty sure he'll like what he ends up with by the end of the story :D) Really enjoying your snippets. Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteOops! Just when he thought things were going his way... lol
ReplyDeleteI think he's drinking from the wrong source. Love your description and the world you're building. :)
ReplyDeleteI think he made a boo-boo. :) Lovely action=based 6!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteRuh-ro! He's in trouble now!
ReplyDeleteHa! Love her reaction!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, he's really upset her now :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I think these two are going to be great together
ReplyDeleteIntrigued by your mix of fantasy in a contemporary setting! Also love how you convey his hunger. Great six!
ReplyDeleteSurprise! What a great scene. That'll teach him to go around biting without asking first. :)
ReplyDeleteAaaaahhh... Dragons--my favorites :D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNot a great way to start getting acquainted!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing!
ReplyDeleteHaha! "her eyes blazing with iridescent green fire as she held her neck with one taloned hand." Great description of her. Can't wait to read more of these two.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, now he'd done it. Does a dragon 'turn' when bitten by a vampire, I wonder? What a formidable beast that would create!
ReplyDeleteThat would make a formidable beast, indeed! Cool idea, JC. :) My vampires can't "turn" anyone - you have to be born with the genetic code to become one.
DeleteWhoa, that's INTENSE! Great six!
ReplyDeleteSarah Ballance
Oops, I'm not sure he saw that coming, lol! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHe'll have to learn that this is the wrong woman to mess with. Awesome, Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
ReplyDeleteAh, that Dragon Blood--it sounds like it was worth it for him. Intriguing tension, sensual yet tense six!
ReplyDeleteLove her attitude - she won't take anything lying down! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat six, loved your description Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding cliche... he's clearly bitten of more than he can chew ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love it when things get turned around and a predator suddenly becomes the prey.
I loved the description too I get the impression he had something of an "oh crap" moment just before being tossed aside.
Great six
