"Titillating Short Fiction"

Ancient vampire Sean Patrick has come to Las Vegas, Nevada, looking for something new, something different... something that won't bore him within days. Preferably something that will satisfy his needs for both sex and blood. Instead, he finds himself falling prey to the sensual Sue Hamilton, a woman who recognizes that Sean is the man she has been awaiting for so many long years. Dangerous secrets and unusual seduction techniques mean that any attempt at a relationship will be tenuous at best. Can they dare to reach beyond the limits they have set themselves to find something more than they ever anticipated?

ONE NIGHT IN VEGAS, a slightly twisted science fiction-ish offering by popular vampire author Marilyn Lee, both teases and titillates in a limited word count. Though it looks like your standard male vamp, female lover fare, the fact that the female dominates the sexual relationship between the characters for a good part of the time makes this story something very different. The story is kinky and exciting, and Lee doesn't stint on the characterization. Though the emotional attachment of the characters is naturally limited by the word count, the alternate world setting is intriguing and exciting. The end hints that ONIV may be the first in a new series for readers to look forward to in the future.

Sensuality Level: The story has frequent sexual encounters and graphic sexual descriptions. It includes anal sex and the use of sex toys.
