Looking back at A Little Mysterious this week
He’d been sent off course…he
thought he was lost…until he found Daisy.
His vampire abilities were
special. He belonged to an elite group. Moving home, they are set off course by
a storm that lands Dhruv alone, hungry, and desperate in a strange town.
A story of lust, love, and coincidence
Read the midweek teaser
They lay there in the damp grass with
the smell of wet vegetation and the occasional sound of a bird fidgeting in the
leaves of the trees.
“I think I could be falling in love
with you.” He felt her words spear his heart. She had said them softly between
kisses. He took his lips away from hers. The gentle way she held him made him
pulse with emotion close to the one he felt when he thought about his lost clan
members. He closed his eyes and rested his cheek against hers briefly.
“Don’t fall in love with me. I’m only
passing through.” His voice cracked with emotion as he knelt, slid his cock
from her, and stood to stare down at her.
He helped her up and found her
clothes. He watched as she hurriedly put them on. He dragged on his jeans,
T-shirt, and jacket.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Daisy.
Don’t fall in love with me.” He knew he must have a mate somewhere else,
waiting for him to find her.
He took her hand and led her out of
the trees, over the bridge, and down the path.
“How do we get to your place from
here?” He put his arm around her shoulders.
“It’s down the high street here as we
exit the park, second left, and then left again. I’m sorry, about the ‘falling
for you’ thing…I don’t mean to crowd you, or…”
He didn’t let her finish the apology
because her voice was full of sadness.
He leaned over and kissed her mouth
closed. He knew he felt something for her and hid from it. They walked to her
place. He held her hand.
At the stairs to her apartment, he
moved back a few steps.
“I’ll leave you here.” He wanted to
warn her about the bite in case it scared her when she saw it. “I’m sorry. I
sucked a bit too hard on the … love bite. There’s a big mark.” He gestured
towards her neck, and saw her nod.
“It’ll be okay. Will you be at the
bar tomorrow?”
He heard her voice hopeful and with a
trace of worry. His heart, long dead, felt even more like a stone than usual.
He knew she was worried that now they’d fucked she wouldn’t see him again. He
wanted to see her again so badly it made him shake.
“I’ll be there.” His voice was a
whisper and he turned. He walked quickly away. When he judged he was out of her
line of vision, he burst into speed, and fled back to the sanctuary of the
trees and the rustle of leaves in the dark.

" A Little Mysterious is a
steamy love story guaranteed to burn up the sheets and the story of how Dhruv
came to find Daisy was fantastic. Although this is a short story, Parks packs
it with all the right details to make us not only care about the characters,
but about how their story turns out."
HOP to the next #MWTease
