Bite Me Not


Here's "Bite Me Not" by Ray Celar.

["A vampire walks into a bar....

Eric
Unintentionally giving the guy I totally haven’t been stalking for the past three years a spiked drink was an accident, I swear.
I mean, how was I supposed to know that ‘The Special’ was a drink vampires ordered to help with… feeding?
I’ve dreamed of having Finn in my arms for years, but ever since I was turned into a vampire, I knew it couldn’t happen. Tasting his blood, even just a tiny drop to make sure he was okay, wasn’t supposed to happen either, and especially not like this.
But that little taste left me with a bigger problem than just having my unconscious crush in my he’s sick, and I don’t know what to do about it. I can’t just walk up to him and tell him I know he’s sick because I might’ve taken a teeny, tiny sip of his blood, can I?
So, leaving a note on his apartment door is the reasonable thing to do, right?

Finn
My life is stressful enough; I really don’t need medical advice from a creepy stalker, too. I mean, he’s implying he somehow got a blood sample. Like, WTF?! The fact that he’s spot on with the diagnosis—which was taped to my door—is even more disturbing.
Hopefully, he’ll back off once I’m better.
I need a distraction from everything that’s going on—and Eric is exactly what the doctor ordered. He’s attentive and serious, but his stoic face goes all soft when he looks at me.
So maybe I’m ignoring a few red flags on my quest to keep my mind off my stalker. And, okay, while a lot of things with Eric don’t add up and nearly everything points to him being a vampire… that would be ludicrous, right?"]

YES. All of the yes. Except for all of the moments when Eric chose "heart-eyed-idiot" instead of...ya know...not leaving more creepy notes.

But...frankly...Finn was more accepting than anything. He was skeptical as hell and scared as fuck, but when all of that passed, he was too in love with Erin to really put up much of a fight. 

They were adorable as hell. Just wanting the best for each other, wanting each other to be happy and safe. 

This book was giving serious first-in-series vibes, and I'm here for it. 

Trigger Warnings: light stalking, drugging of an MC (once), biting (dubcon), violence, kidnapping, blood and gore, and more
