about him, especially since he doesn’t seem to eat.

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.

woman he’s always loved lives in the same town as Devon, and begins a quest to
win her back.

Excerpt: (18+)
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:
Drew
was driving home annoyed with his fruitless journey and suddenly hungry for
blood and sex. He watched for a way of gaining both as he drove along and at
the bus stop on the way out of the next town before the highway he saw a girl
alone.
He
pulled up alongside her and let his window down. He gave her a look that was an
invitation to something wonderful. His voice was soft and kind. He exuded
charm. “Do you want a lift somewhere? I think you may have a long wait there”.
The
girl was about twenty and not prone to getting in cars with strangers male or
female. She shook her head. “No thanks I’m fine”, and she looked away from Drew
wishing he was not a stranger. Wishing she had met him down the basketball club
or something, he was so drop dead gorgeous.
Drew
didn’t leave.
“I’m
harmless”, he lied, and smiled a smile so sweet it was like rain to a flower.
The
girl had pepper spray in her bag. Her mom had some too. Their neighbors had
acquired it after a break-in just in case the suckers came back when they were
actually at home and not at the gym. They had insisted on giving her and her
mom a can each. She thought about the fact that she could spray him if he
turned out to be a monster and accepted the lift after all. She was going to
the hotel just before the highway to meet with her friends, there was, she told
Drew, a bit of a dance on that night.
Drew
found himself interested. “A dance?” he said in a questioning tone.
“Is
it open to anyone?”
The
girl considered his obvious interest. It would be a real win to walk in with
this gorgeous guy to the dance. Her friends would fall dead with envy.
“It
is of course. You pay at the door and that’s it, stay all night if you want to,
the DJ very often plays until dawn”. She glanced at Drew to gauge his reaction
to this information.
Second
Editions of Volumes one and two of The Ruthin Trilogy will be available on
