The following is an excerpt of Brain Dead, by Tracey H. Kitts, available now from New Concepts Publishing.
She sighed and breathed in his cologne.

“From the moment you touched my hand last night you ceased to frighten me. I know this sounds crazy but I feel like I know you. You tell me now, Luis. Do you plan to hurt me? Am I wrong to trust you?”
“No,” he whispered.
“Then I am not naive.”
Luis bent to kiss her and she hesitated. Since the first time he’d smiled at her Jane had thought of little else besides how his sultry lips would feel pressed against her own, but there was something she wanted to make clear first.
“I’ve been hurt before, Luis. More than once. Don’t hurt me … my heart can’t take anymore.”
“Do not lose faith in all mankind, chéri over one who is less than a man,” he breathed against her lips.
Since Jane had never known another vampire, she’d never kissed one either and was not prepared for the sensation. His lips were soft and full. At first he kissed her tenderly, allowing her time to adjust to the almost hypnotic sensation of his touch. As Luis deepened the kiss Jane moaned, running her hands inside his coat. His shirt was silk and felt wonderful underneath her hands as she ran them up and down his back, savoring the feel of his body beneath the smooth fabric. It was almost like falling, without hitting the ground.
Jane ran her tongue across his teeth and felt his fangs before pulling away breathlessly.
“Is it always like that?” she asked.
“No,” he gasped. “It is always different with a vampire, but you too are a supernatural being.”
“So, that makes a difference?” she asked, placing a hand over her heart as if that motion would slow its pace.
“Oh, yes.”
“Wow.”
Luis had been propped against the chair since she released him and now stood and began to straighten his clothes. His hands trembled and Jane smiled.
“Is every woman capable of making a vampire tremble, or do I flatter myself to think that I’m special?” she teased silkily.
