Devon Ruthin and a Vampire in
Love: Volume one of The Ruthin Trilogy
A contemporary paranormal
romance.
When a girl looking for love
meets a lonely, but strange man, she has her suspicions about him, especially
since he doesn’t seem to eat.
He’s not what he used to be,
he’s totally reformed and lives amongst a group of ancient magical beings. Just
what is he besides, gorgeous, sexy, intelligent and totally in love with her?
He’s a dress designer, a dot
com businessman, a good friend, courageous, and he’s four hundred and some
years old.
Fate has some weird twists in
store for this couple but above all else it has a delicious love story.
Devon Ruthin finally hears
from his very dangerous brother after twenty years. It’s not the reunion he
would hope for, when Drew takes a liking to the girl Devon loves.
It’s not the reunion Drew
might have hoped for either, because he discovers the woman he’s always loved
lives in the same town as Devon, and begins a quest to win her back.
Drew Ruthin is a vampire and
one of the worst kind, he's also selfish and egotistical, he's dangerous and
not just because he's out for someone's blood, but because he's subconsciously
very unhappy. He knows his vampire community finds him pathetic; he's losing
power and status. His pain comes from his aching need for acceptance and love.
He has a funny way of showing
it.
Attempting murder of his
family members.
Seducing and draining any
pretty girl he finds in his path.
It seems he will stoop to
nothing when suddenly into his 'undead life' comes a girl, who although not
destined for him, sets off a chain of events that does bring him everything his
secret heart longs for.

Excerpt: Meet Devon
Bliss watched Devon for
twenty minutes as he walked up and down the length of his garden. He seemed to
be able to do it very quickly, unless he turned and came back as he was in the
dark part, where the garden lights petered out. What was he doing out there she
thought and then she decided to go down to him. She wanted to be with him, she
had come looking for love, and she thought she had found it. She was
dilly-dallying around for no good reason. She pulled on the T-shirt she had
worn that evening and her jeans. She put her feet into her canvas shoes and
combed her hair, which was still a little wet from the shower. She went down to
the kitchen and found the massive window only open by a meter. She went through
it and waited for when Devon reached her.
Devon knew she was there even
before he exited the dark area of the garden. He slowed down a little and
concentrated on sensing her presence. Sometimes after he had drunk his health
shake, he felt more in command of sensing a person’s emotions. She was definitely
in love with him. She wanted him. He sighed in relief.
As Devon came out of the
gloom Bliss walked towards him and put her arms around him, he put his arms
around her. He felt her hair midway down her back still damp, and he held it in
his hands savoring the softness.
“Bliss what are you doing
down here is something wrong?” he asked her because he didn’t know what else to
say. She shook her head, moving her arms to around his neck she kissed him. She
molded her body against his.
She kissed him until she felt
that overwhelming urge to tell him she loved him and then she did.
“Devon I love you, I have to
tell you, I need you to know”, and then he was kissing her again and smiling.
Then kissing her, and as he held her very tightly he whispered, “I love you too”.
Bliss smiled before she kissed Devon again, and they stood close together
holding each other’s face and kissing each other tenderly. Bliss began to
unbutton the shirt Devon was wearing. She moved her hands across his smooth
skin along the muscles of his chest. He felt cool and strong. She traced around
his body with her fingertips, and Devon kissed down her throat and her
shoulder.
Bliss moved to his lips to
kiss him. She whispered close to his lips, “Come back inside let’s go to bed
Devon, I want to be with you”.
Devon was captivated by this.
He smiled and kissed her. “I want to be with you too Bliss”, he told her.
Holding hands, they went
inside and Devon locked the window. He was thinking about his bed, was it
actually made up, he couldn’t remember the last time he had lain in it. He
generally slept for short periods in his chair or sometimes on the lawn. As
they went upstairs and he put his arm around her waist Bliss felt very happy.
It had been the right thing to do, to tell him she loved him, it seemed to her
that he had been waiting to know how she felt about him.
Devon had decided that if his
bed was not made up he would tell Bliss he was about to change the linen and
had forgotten to finish the job. This was not good he thought; he didn’t want to
lie to her right then.
When they went into Devon’s
bedroom Bliss was struck by how empty it seemed. There was a bed on the side
opposite the huge windows, and she noticed a chair set up so that Devon could
sit and look out of them. Devon’s bed was made up with white linen that looked
ironed. His quilt, also in a white cover was rolled at the bottom of his bed as
if he did not use it. Devon held her face and kissed her so lovingly she felt
like liquid. They undressed and held each other close suddenly desperate to
feel each other’s body closer, and their kisses became more urgent.
Devon ran his fingertips
along her skin and cupped her breasts in his hands. Bliss arched to him as he
took a nipple into his mouth and a little moan escaped her it felt so good. She
reached down to feel his erection in both hands and almost sighed with relief
at finally being able to hold him like that. Devon groaned and found her lips
with his. His kiss was hungry and he held her then around her hips to raise her
as he put a finger into her moistness. Bliss gasped with pleasure and moved on
his finger until Devon put another finger into her. His tongue was in her mouth
and she was grasping him tightly and then stroking his erection wanting him
inside her.
He laid her down on the cool
bed and moved over her. Bliss put her arms up around him to press him to her
body as she opened her legs wide for his entrance. She whispered her need to
him and Devon wanted to give her what she asked for. He surged into her and
they moved together as if they had always known each other, as if they were
made to fit together and it felt so good they were both softly moaning.
Devon told Bliss he loved her
so much over and over as he made love with her. Bliss was carried along in a
wave of pleasure. She sought out his lips if he moved them from hers to her
cheek or shoulders. They whispered to each other and groaned into each other’s
mouth as the sensations overwhelmed them.
They didn’t let go of each
other for a long time. Devon felt that he couldn’t let Bliss go. He needed her
in his arms close against him. Bliss wanted that too, and she moved so that her
face was against his, and so that she could kiss him as they whispered to each
other. Devon held Bliss very close until she was asleep, and then he closed his
eyes, and sighed. He wanted Bliss with him always. It had to have been fate
that brought her to him. She had told him how she had set out to find love, or
something that would change her life and arrived at the café. It was meant to
be he decided. He kissed her and gently traced a breast with his fingertip. In
her sleep Bliss moved towards him, wanting him. He moved his hand to rest
gently on her lower stomach, his fingers almost against her moistness and he
sighed. Everything felt so good.

Excerpt : Meet the vampire Drew
Drew smiled his charming, disarming, sex laden smile and
they were lost.
Nicole was the first to try to take him from Leah. She
waited until he had gone to the bar for drinks, and then excusing herself from
the table where Leah was being quizzed by the others as to how she had met such
a hot guy, she followed him and stood very close. The bar was crowded and Drew
let her press against him as she said, “Hi Drew, thought I would come and
help”.
He leveled his gaze on her as she pressed her hip further
against his thigh.
“I’m already somewhat warm”, he said as his eyes burned into
hers. “Is there one of those garden things here to cool off in?”
Nicole licked her lips before she answered. “There’s a patio
and a pool out the side. I could show you”.
Drew flashed his eyes and whispered, “Lead the way”.
Nicole looked around to check if Leah and the rest could see
them, satisfied they couldn’t, she grabbed Drew by the hand and pulled him
through the crowd around the side of the packed dance floor, and out of the sliding
glass doors, which were already open to the patio and pool.
Drew was not in the mood to beat about the bush, he pulled
her to one side where a huge potted palm obscured the view and kissed her.
He started to pull her short dress up and kissed down her
throat, and then back to her lips. His kisses were intoxicating and he
whispered to her as he pulled her underwear away. “I need you”.
Nicole unzipped his jeans, and pushed her tongue into his
mouth as he felt her warmth with his fingers gently and then took her to the
ground.
Nicole was very willing and they had finished quickly. Drew
was disappointed; the experience had not satisfied him. He would take her back
and get another from the group he thought.
They stopped at the bar and bought the drinks. On reaching
the table, Drew saw that Leah looked a little hurt.
“You’ve been gone a long time”, she said, and Drew gave her
a sweet look.
“It was crowded”. He sat next to her and ignored Nicole who
nudged the next girl along and pouted.
Drew noticed the girl sitting opposite him quietly. She had
short dark hair and her eyelashes were laden with black mascara. She eyed him
speculatively and Drew felt the challenge. When Leah suggested dancing, he
stayed at the table as most of the girls went to dance in a circle leaving him
to guard their belongings. The mascara girl stayed behind.
She leaned across the table and as the music was extremely
loud shouted, “Hello, where did you meet Leah then?” Drew didn’t need her to
shout but moved across to sit by her side as if he would like to hear her
better.
“Just around”, he informed the girl, and noticed that she
had dark blue eyes behind the black fringes, and that her face was a pretty
heart shape.
He let his eyes linger on her lips and then looked
straight at her breasts pushed up to show the cleavage in her dark blue, velvet
dress.
Drew smiled at her and sighed. The mascara girl sighed too.
She liked his looks, he was delicious she thought, pity Leah had met him first.
Drew rested his face on his hand and leaned on the table so
that he was close to her. He looked longingly at her lips and then he put all
his vampire charm to work.
“I don’t know your name but I’d like to. Shall we go outside
for a few minutes just to talk?”
Mascara girl looked over at the group of friends. They
seemed to have gathered a couple of boys who were showing off with some street
dance moves.
“Okay but not for long”, she said just giving in to the
temptation before her.
Drew swept her along out to the front of the hotel and
around to the semi-circular garden of daisies and clipped hedge.
He really needed sex right away and he pulled her to him
kissing her as if his life depended on it. Mascara girl responded. She put her
arms up around his neck and pressed her whole body against his with a need that
might have matched his. This was different Drew thought. Nicole had screwed him
to get at Leah this girl wanted sex.
He unzipped her dress and pulled it down her shoulders to
reveal her dark blue, lace underwear and he undid the clasp at the front to cup
her breasts as he continued to kiss her. He licked her nipples one by one. She
undid his shirt and trailed her fingers over his chest and down the sides of
his body until he found himself sighing slightly. He pushed down her underwear
and ran his hand over her lower stomach kissing her deeply. Drew put his
fingers into her and she made a little sound into his mouth as she arched
against his hand wanting more. Drew shivered with pleasure when she wrapped her
hand around him having undone his jeans and freed him up to the night air. He
took his fingers away and gliding down to the daisies and grass between the
hedges, he pulled her on top of him bringing her face to his, and kissing her
lips as she started to rock her hips and then slide along him.
Drew moved his hands to her hips and helped her until he
knew she was satisfied, and then he rolled her over and took his own pleasure
as his lips moved against her throat, and he started to suck just a little. He
did not pierce her skin just tasted her blood as it rushed to the surface of
her skin under his lips. She groaned with pleasure.
He sat up with her and they arranged their clothes. He cast
a glance at her, she had been good he thought, passionate, and he felt better
than he had with the girl called Nicole.
“We should go back”, she said, and he nodded at her.
Inside they found that the circle of friends were still on
the dance floor and were flirting heavily with the boys who had joined them.
Leah too Drew noticed. Mascara girl felt guilty when she looked at Leah and
went to join them.
