NINE30
Melissa Lummis - 2014
I thought I knew - until I met Maximillian.
I was on my way out of the Capital City before the local vampires could catch on to me and let’s just say if that happened, then this club dancer would be facing her expiration date. And that’s when the famous DJ blew into town - and into my head and heart. He turned all my plans upside down with his sick friend and his electric blue eyes, damn it.
I should have cut bait and run for my life, but I couldn't abandon someone I could heal - even if it meant the vampires might catch up with me. Besides, Maximillian smelled familiar, like deep forest and pine needles baked in the sun mixed with that chilly snap of running water and the coolness of twilight. Those things have a smell that adds up to a dream.
You can get lost in that kind of dream. It can fill your mind with ideas and notions you have no business thinking or feeling. Dreams like that make it easy to forget the danger you’re in.
