Excerpt: Chase the Sun

Hello there...” he drawled.

I tried focusing on him as he approached me. He was like dark mist, wafting towards me. A very tall dark mist. Naturally, or unaturally, depending on how you would take it, he was very handsome. White smooth skin, smouldering crimson and gold eyes with a chiselled chin. His nose looked so perfect that I had the urge to bite it.

Uh, right ignore that comment about his nose.

His long dark midnight hair flowing in the air as if there was some unseen wind as he approached and wrapped his misty darkness around me.

“Ah, you must be de legendary Selene,” he whispered in my ear in his gorgeous French accent.

The wafts of darkness felt chilly as he pulled me towards him, back towards the well. I followed along.

“Yes, that is me... Although, I'm not really that legendary. What do you want?” I asked.

He seemed to pause a little and placed a gentle hand on my chin, tilting up my face towards his.

“You. Ma cherie, I want you,” he grinned, showing off his pointy fangs.

Oh my boobies, this hot dark creature wanted me.

“I have noticed the creatures you have defeated, ma cherie... I had sent them to test you. To see your strength... And you were beautiful,” he continued, caressing my cheek.

“I see...” I replied, lowering my gaze from this gorgeous being.

He leaned back, placing his hand on the well, posing casually but he looked like a model that way.

“But who might you be? I know not of your name, sir!” I exclaimed curiously.

He gave me a smirk, holding up his right hand to inspect his pointy nails.

“You may call me.. Antoine,” he replied.

“Just Antoine?” I asked.

He placed his blazing gaze upon me, his piercing eyes drilling into my blue ones as if he was trying to read my mind, but not really since I would have known if he did.

“Oui, just Antoine... You may call me anyting if you like...” he drawled, smiling charmingly at me.

I stepped closer to him, giving a rather shy smile, briefly glancing up at him and placed my hands on his chest. I could feel the hard muscles beneath the smooth silk fabric of his shirt.

“Can I call you...” I trailed, pausing to find the word.

“Oui?” he said, urging me to continue.

I tiptoed so I could place my lips next to his ear.

“Sucker?” I grinned.

“Huh, what?” he said before I pushed him back into the well.

He screamed and I looked down as he disappeared into the depths below. It was very dark but I could tell that it was somehow bottomless since I did not hear any body smooshing against the ground sounds. It probably lead to where he was from or something.

Seriously, if I had a dollar for every dark gorgeous guy trying to do that...

I would have a lot of dollars.
