Six Sentence Sunday
#sixsunday is convincing her that becoming a vampire isn’t a desirable goal, despite her preconceived ideas.
“You wouldn’t want this life,” he said quietly. They could be lovers for as long as she was willing to stay with him. But as mates…it was an impossible scenario. “It’s not easy and not even remotely glamorous. Books make it seem romantic and erotic. I promise you, it’s not.”
For more authors who make romantic and erotic books, please visit the official Six Sentence Sunday site here.
Does this mean they don’t sparkle? 😉
Love his quiet intensity, Dee. Great 6.
I don’t know… if he looks anything like that pic I would have to disagree about the erotic part.
I think I have to agree with Lisa..that pic is HOTT, awesome post!
More, more! I hope this work in progress is close to the finish line. 🙂
Ah, how Twilight has deceived us all. LOL But I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it work somehow. 🙂
Hot pic, and loved the six – he is serious and intense, very intriguing 🙂 And yup, as long as he doesn’t sparkle…
I dunno, it’s always been the tragic side of vampire mythology that seems so darkly romantic to me.
Oh, I totally agree with Eleri! Great!
Wonder if he’s tryin’ to convince himself or her? Great six!

Oh, Dee, I love the emotion in that six. I can hear it in those few words. Well done. And I love the photo, too. 😉
I’m with Eleri. Although sparklies definitely have their place, I’ve never thought sparkly vampires were at all erotic. To me, it’s all about the dark side. However, a guy this intense and honest is hugely appealing! Super, super six!
I like that he’s trying to save her from herself but when you’re in love, even a life as a vampire seems like an ok tradeoff. Excellent excerpt!
Beautiful, Dee. Good writing.
Tense and gripping, though she’s not likely to listen to him, I fear. Thanks for sharing!
Despite the emotion in his voice, I suspect she isn’t going to listen. Very nice six, Dee.
He’s right. Books make the scenario very erotic. The reality would be much less appealing.
Sounds like she’s going to have to make her own decisions, and he’s probably not going to like what she chooses. Great six, Dee!
And yeah, if he looks anything like that pic, I’d be willing, too.
I like the fact that he’s trying to dissuade her. (Though I have to admit my last run-in with a vampire was in Bram Stoker.)
But why is it impossible? Looking forward to reading more. 🙂
yes, I’ve heard that before – that books make it sound so romantic, but then, we write the books…..
Sheezus-effin’-crimeny! THAT is a hot picture. If he wants to convince her, he better put some clothes on. 😉
if he looks like the pic, I’d take my chances
Good to read a different take on the whole vampire thing. 🙂
But would only being lovers be enough for her? I get the feeling she wants forever with him. Who wouldn’t? 😉
Aw, but he is hard to resist! Great six Dee, Happy holidays!
