Scorcher Blog Tour: Why Vampire Are Sexy – Part 2

*We have a winner!
Congratulations, Na, you've won an
eBook copy of MIDNIGHT CONQUEST

Welcome to Part 2 of Arial Burnz’s guest blog post on the Scorcher Blog Tour – Week 1! (If this is your first stop, you’ll want to go back to Part 1.) Thanks so much for having me on your blog, Sarah!!

Continuing with our topic Why Vampires Are Sexy: To be sure, there’s a deep intimacy in the embrace and the contact of the vampire using his or her mouth to drink from their victim or love interest. There’s an even deeper intimacy in the exchange of the life-giving force of blood. Add all that to the penetration of a hot love scene and…Ooooooh laah laah!!! All in all, sensuality is the key!

In this small excerpt, my hero Broderick has entered my heroine Davina’s bedchamber to try and read her thoughts to discover her involvement with his enemy and clan rival. However, Davina is not giving him the information he’s looking for. Feeding from a victim, my vampires learn everything about that person and their lives, so Broderick resigns himself to do just that:

Doh! You’ll have to go to the next blog to read the hot excerpt. Before you do, let’s check in and give a purpose to your post. Continuing to excite the six senses as it pertains to vampires…we’ll explore the sense of taste in this post.

What do YOU find hot about TASTE associated with vampires? Though the idea of drinking blood for us mortals might not be appetizing, many pieces of fiction explain that such tastes change upon transformation. Perhaps the idea of crossing over to that unknown territory entices you. In my novels, being fed from is a euphoric experience that borders on orgasmic qualities. Share your dark desires if you have any!
