They say that rules are made to be broken, but 'they' haven't met Daniel. He takes rules very seriously because, he insists, they keep us alive. This is something of a problematic statement, but to dwell on technicalities would be a grave mistake. Mistakes get you a month in a four by four cell, a hundred feet below the rumbling streets of Mumbai with no air, no light, no food and a great deal of time to think.
Midnight at Sheremetyevo is the first of the Tales of the Mumbai Coven, is available in D.L. King's "The Sweetest Kiss" anthology.
I apologize that I cannot offer it here. I sumitted the story to the anthology and, it was in preparing the text for submission, I thought of continuing the Tales. However, you can read it, along with many other deliciously erotic vampire stories, in this wonderful anthology.
Synopsis:
Marta has been a good girl. She's done the Coven's banking business in Switzerland, and is on her way back to Mumbai. On a stopover, at midnight, in the bleak halls of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, she meets Stefan - an adorable Scandinavian boy who's off to travel the world.
She tries to be good - really she does - but his boldness and her hunger collude demolish her resolution.
The punishment for her transgresssion is severe.
Read the Reward and Punishment, the next part of her story.
