Amelia and Lucius, A New Love

by RoxAnne Fox

Overview

This tale is set in the world created for my Annan series. Here you will get a taste of the vampires in that world. Lucius is just one vampire, a simple man really, who falls in love with a human who deserves more then what life had given her. He tells her of how he came to be a vampire and gives her the choice of a life of love with him or the life she is living with a man whose love was never true.

Excerpt –

"What was your childhood like?"
Lucius stopped and blinked at her in the moonlight. He didn't want to lie, he couldn't, the time he spent watching her, waiting for the right time to approach her, hearing her every thought, were all lies enough in his own mind. He knew what he had to do.
It seems the time has chosen itself, Lucius thought with a laugh.
"Let's head back."
"Oh, what I can pour my heart out, but I get nothing?" Amelia's tone was teasing but she was slightly put off he didn't want to share.
"I'll tell you all you want to know about me, and more, but we should head back. We have walked quite a distance."
"Oh." Amelia giggled. She felt silly and wished she could blame it on the wine like the night before, but the three glasses she drank did nothing more than warm her while she walked and told Lucius about her life growing up.
"Come on." Lucius turned them back toward the hotel. "Before I begin," he stopped and turned to Amelia, taking her face in his hands. "If I can never do this again," Lucius pressed his lips to hers, kissing her passionately. He kissed her as though it was the last kiss they would share, since it very well could be. "One last kiss before I begin. Just in case you run screaming away from me forever."
Lucius' actions made dueling emotions erupt inside Amelia. What he was saying had her worried. Was he married too? A serial killer? However, his kiss pulled something from deep inside her. It screamed, "Stay, stay! Hear what he has to say!" So she stayed.
Lucius smiled down at her, their nearness and the moonlight allowed Amelia to see something in his eyes she had never seen in any man, not even her own husband, and when he spoke she could see the truth plain on his face. "I am deeply in love with you Amelia."

About the Author

I am a mother, author, and dreamer. My mind is forever creating new worlds and characters and some day I wish to write full time so that I can share them all with you. Washington is my home state and love the fact that I will always be near my family and friends living in a beautiful place. I have traveled all over the country, even to Hawaii, and still feel more awed and inspired by Washington than anywhere else.
​
The inspiration I feel in my home state is translated into the stories I put out for you all to read. This inspiration can come from anything, be it the solitude of the forest or just watching the snow fall in my back yard. The first thing that really inspired me to write full stories—I had written mostly poetry previous to 2008—was seeing scat while hiking alone. My mind began to wander to wolves in the Cascades—which have since been found—on to those wolves being werewolves.

That work, now called the Annan Werewolf Series, was mulled over for a long time and has gone through many transformations before returning to its roots. You can read her story by downloading the first free installment titled, Coming Home here at Smaswords and learn more about that series, and all of my books, by going to my website at: www.roxannefox.net

When you read any of my stories please remember: I write for adults and I have no editor. With that said, please be kind. If you see mistakes in my stories, send me a message about them ([e-mail]) and don't be surprised when clothes hit the floor and the lights are turned down low... if you know what I mean. Even though you may find some errors while reading, beyond those small mistakes lie worlds full of unique, emotionally driven characters who keep you wanting more.
