Salvation - an erotic vampire romance by Alexandra Cameron Read Free Book Online

stand up, she knew that her legs would stay on the bed like black, frozen stumps. Rotted, burnt off. The terrible hellfire wound its way through the frozen veins of her body, eventually reaching her crotch. It filled her so deeply and intensely with pain that she wanted to scream. That she wanted to die. But her cramping body was given no peace. 

She couldn’t die, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t scream while the caustic acid raced through her body and burnt out her insides. She fought against the feeling of being eaten by a horde of rats from the inside out, she could feel every sharp rodent bite inside her. Her bones cracked as they broke one after the other. She could clearly hear the sound of splintering bones grinding through her flesh, even though she couldn’t move. The hideous taste of vampire blood burned in her throat. 

Her lungs collapsed, she felt her chest fall in. Ice cold etched slowly to her belly and ripped like sharp acid into her guts. Everything hurt, yet her head was clear.  Crystal clear, the vampire poison was eating her from the inside out as she lay there in full consciousness. Ate underneath her skin through her organs like a bark beetle through a tree trunk. As the torment reached her heart she felt it burst.  Blood pooled in her wounds as her heart was lacerated. Her eyes stared vacantly into emptiness as she felt it clearly, as her throat was squeezed by a strange hand and the bitter, sharp, caustic liquid slowly reached her jaw and found its way to her eyes.

The pain was so directly biting that she wanted to scream again. She wanted to die, escape the pain, and yet … nothing happened. Nothing at all. She wanted to die. She wanted to die. Die. Please, make it stop!

Elizabeth’s brain was melting under the attack and she could feel her senses slowly blurring. For a moment she wanted to cry in gratitude as the pain abated, as everything subsided to an unbearable pricking, before she realised that her frozen, icy body was suddenly filling with heat. Dry heat filled her body, burnt it up, as her living corpse burnt. Just as she’d had the blissful feeling of dying and escaping this agony, the flames inside her burnt more strongly.

White flashed over her eyes. The rampaging light tormented her gaze, yet she continued to stare into this new source of pain. This pain was different, as the agony in her body pulsed in still higher waves. The pain of the light was constant, bearable but constant. She clung onto the light to escape from her body. The light came closer to her, pushed agonisingly into her nerves and wasted them away. She kept bearing the terrible suffering and finally the light reached her.

Then she couldn’t see the light anymore. She only saw darkness. Yes, she was dying. Finally.

The pain subsided. Somewhere in front of her, light was gathering while she was pulled through the darkness as if by a ghost. Colours began to mix in with the white light. Blue, purple, yellow, green. They flowed around her and slowly formed shapes. Blurry contours disappeared, reformed. Light melted away and became scattered shadows. The ground beneath her filled with dark brown. The air around her became grey. And in the same moment, she realised she was in a room. It was a bedroom. A heavy, dark fireplace covered an entire wall, on the floor in front of the fire there was a white bear rug lit up in flickering light. Two bodies moved together on top of it, their gasps filling the room. She looked at it with a certain distance. It was different from when she and the vampire had watched the slaves. She didn’t feel any arousal, no passion, no excitement. She felt a type of curiosity, nothing more.

The pair thrust against each other at almost the same time before the man collapsed on top of the woman. For a moment it was completely silent in the room except for their heavy breathing. Then the woman moved beneath him until he rolled off to the side and she pulled herself to his chest.
