In the meantime, here's what I came up with for my vampire book and I think it's pretty good. At least I hope it is. God. Who the hell knows. Some days I stare at these things and think I've lost all sense of perspective. lol.
In which Ella Murphy wins a free vacation but ends up kidnapped by space-faring vampires, carted halfway across the galaxy, and set to scrubbing floors.
Earth,
The fates have played a cosmic joke on Ella for the last time. Whenever her family gets a “feeling” about something, their hunches invariably prove right. They have beautiful houses, loving spouses and happiness to spare. But her hunches only got her a crappy job, a sucky ex-boyfriend and a termite-infested house.
Standing in the Gas ‘n Go holding a Scratch ‘n Win ticket, Ella closes her eyes and gets a “feeling” about the silver patch on the left. But she knows better now. The fates can kiss her ass. She scratches off the patch on the right and wins a trip for two to the Saturn Hilton. A hotel orbiting Saturn.
Ecstatic, Ella rushes home to invite her best friend Marie along. Then she calls her boss to ask for time off, but he refuses to give it to her. It’s end of quarter and she’s an accountant. She hates her job, so she quits. If only for two weeks of her short, pathetic life, she’s free.
On the Saturn Hilton, Marie keeps dragging her to musicals and setting her up with boring guys. Ella’s vacation isn’t as fun as she thought it would be. Which is why she’s quite relieved when a ship full of vampires raid the hotel and take her and Marie as slaves. At least she won’t have to look for a new job.
A hotty vampire, Enric Mandruleneau, knocks her off her feet with a scorching kiss. Her aura is the same silver color as his, and the match is reputed to enhance sexual response. He vows to buy her at auction.
Ella and Marie are taken to the vampire homeworld, Sirona, a world where one side always faces the sun, and the other always faces the dark. The vampires live on Darkside, never having to fear the sun, their estates protected in great domes topside.
Ella and Marie are put up for auction. Marie is psyched. She’s hoping she’ll get sold to a hot vampire as his sex slave. She always wanted to be a sex slave. Ella is hoping Enric will buy her. He bids for her, but another vampire outbids him. Marie ends up with Enric, and Ella is led away by a stranger.
Ella freaks out, thinking she is going to be a sex slave to a vampire she doesn’t even like, but when they reach his castle she is set to scrubbing floors. She’d almost rather be his sex slave.
She escapes and uses her psychic gift to find her way through underground tunnels to Enric’s estate. He panics when he sees her. Lord Dragomir, the vampire who bought her, will be pissed if he realizes she is here. It could start a feud between their Houses. He smuggles her to the Borderlands, the margin between Darkside and Sunnyside, and implants her with a false ID chip so she can work on a farm. He can’t let her go without a taste, so he drinks from her and gives her a little blood in return.
This has unfortunate side effects. Every time he fantasizes about her, she is brought to her knees in orgasm. In the lunch line. In the fields. Not even enhanced vision and strength is enough to make up for the ignominy of gasping in pleasure in front of her new supervisor.
Turns out, her new supervisor hates her anyway. They make a pact to help Ella escape to Sunnyside and Ella runs to freedom.
Meanwhile, Lord Dragomir tracks Ella to Enric’s castle and accuses him of stealing Ella. Enric claims innocence, but gives Marie to Dragomir as a peace offering. Dragomir is appalled at Marie’s hot pink aura. Pink is not a dignified color, but he is forced to accept. A human is a human. Marie is delighted. He is hot, and she’s convinced she’ll make him an excellent sex slave.
Back on Sunnyside, Ella is only grudgingly accepted. Her vampire blood makes her “tainted”, but her strength and enhanced abilities are an asset. They threaten to send her back to Darkside if she doesn’t help with their rebellion. On a raid, she gets into trouble. Enric “hears” her and helps her get out of a tight spot.
Back at Enric’s estate, the Queen’s guard takes Enric captive and delivers him to Sunnyside in a coffin. The Queen has discovered that he smuggled Ella to the Borderlands and wants to punish him. Even worse, Ella kicked butt in the raids and she is given Enric as a reward. Keeping him in her underground abode, she chains him to a wall to “get to know him better”.
Back at Lord Dragomir’s castle, Dragomir finds himself unaccountably attracted to Marie. He drinks her blood, only to discover it has “tainted” his aura. Instead of sparkling black, his aura is now tinged with pink. She is delighted. He faints.
Meanwhile, the biggest vampire holiday of the year, the Hunt, arrives. An eclipse turns Sunnyside dark, allowing vampires to reclaim humans. Of course, they could wear protective suits and raid at any time, but it isn’t thought of as sporting. In a moment of weakness, Ella frees Enric, but he turns on her and drags her back to Darkside.
They fight, make up, then sleep together. Ella asks him to make her a vampire so she can have the freedom she craves. He agrees and makes her a vampire in a hot, steamy interlude in his library.
Meanwhile, Dragomir is humiliated by his pink aura and sues Enric for damages. Marie hears of it and tells him this means war. Her dress drops to the floor, and she arches an eyebrow at him. He sighs and pulls her to him, unable to resist her.
The Queen calls them all before her, relishing the chance to bring Enric down. Except Dragomir changes his mind and refuses to testify against Enric. Ella is free at last and lives happily ever after with a hot vampire as her eternal love slave.
