Dr. Suzan Dwyer specializes in blood disorder research and maintains her own laboratory in the Washington, D.C. area. But she’s not prepared to deal with a new patient named Charles Lambert who says he’s aging by the minute and needs Suzan to help him discover a way to reverse the process through her blood research. Suzan hesitates to believe the story Charles tells her. Yet when he suddenly disappears, Suzan tracks him down and meets his wife, Ellen Lambert, a beautiful, alluring, and enigmatic woman who harbors a deep, disturbing secret. Suzan is drawn into Ellen’s world of mysticism, fantasy, lust and desire, and believes Ellen when she says that Charles has suddenly died overseas. Succumbing to Ellen’s charms, Suzan decides to give up her old life, one that she has shared with her partner, Dr. Davis Breen, for five years. As she embarks on a tempestuous affair with Ellen and listens to her incredible history, Suzan is drawn deeper into the woman’s strange but exciting world, one that might possibly include murder. Soon Suzan must decide if she wants what Ellen wishes to give her—life everlasting… Even when such a life comes at a terrible cost. 


Blood of the Gods

Suzan felt a sudden prick at the base of her spine as Ellen coaxed her forward, the prick from the special ring her lover now wore.As Ellen had revealed to her, the ring had been Charles' special creation, a filigree thimble with a fine-tipped razor blade that popped up with just a touch of the little button on the side.


Now Ellen faced Suzan with a knowing look."Let's sit with Dest, shall we, and get comfy?You sit on one side of him and I'll sit on the other."


"Oh, yeah!" Dest agreed, patting both sides of the cushions. "I got plenty of room.I'm here to party hearty and fuck you both all night long!"


"We can't wait!" Ellen declared with exaggerated zeal. 


Suzan moved forward and stiffly took a seat on the man's left while Ellen took the right, nestling against him and stroking his barely visible chin.


Destry's hand grabbed her right breast and fondled it roughly.Lust and sweat steamed from his pores."Oh, you are a fuckin' gorgeous creature!I never had one like you before."
