The dream scene that inspired the novel!

““You’re a vampire?” I utter, although I know the answer.
“I am,” he states, his voice silky with peril that settles into my bones.
The beat of my heart is rhythmic against the black backdrop of our reverie. The pulsating begins dancing down my sternum and as he inches closer and closer, it moves further south—between my legs. His face is inches from mine and I can smell the midnight and ruin on him, mixed with winter. Fresh and dark. The heat from him being so close to me nearly makes me moan in anticipation and the exquisite torture of not having him all over me almost pushes me off that edge that is surely behind me. His breath is hot, he’s almost to me and his breathing intermingles with mine, tangling our breath together, causing a stressed exhale to escape that I’ve been holding back. It comes out as a whimper that I can no longer control and that sends him over that same edge.  
His sultry soft lips suddenly land on mine and it. Is. Magick.
The danger mixed with magick and paired with an all-consuming love has me feeling like an avalanche, gaining momentum and strength as it topples me to my doom. Even though I feel it down to my bones that I should run. . . I cannot. There’s something keeping me here locked with him that I can’t ignore.
Knowing what’s going to come next is something that should frighten me to my core, but I welcome it and will him to bite me.
I want to feel that fire, I like the way it burns.
