Empty space Quote by K.F. Breene
““the vampires in this vast chamber?” He looked around those gathered. “Strangely, the young ones are not affected similarly. Those of us who are older, however…” His gaze flicked into the shadows. I followed his look, but saw only empty space. I needed to get me one of those sheets! “Male and female alike, we are driven half mad with desire.” The vampire’s dark gaze hit me again, intelligence and fire. “You know your effect; I can see that. Tell me, what is it? I must know.” “Perspiration and a little deodorant.” Or, in this case, a lot of deodorant working very hard. A smile lifted his shapely lips. “You have secrets, Reagan, do you not?” “All girls have secrets.” “And so they do.” His manicured nails tapped the armrest. “You are filled to the brim””
