Youthful Glow by Sierra Silver

His younger lover used to sneer at Grey when he was drunk. “You look good…for your age.” 

Grey held no illusions about the young man’s interest, but it still stung.

He hadn’t endured the ridicule of younger men for over a decade.

Grey knocked firmly and waited. The door opened to reveal a man of fading beauty—and unfaded arrogance.

He blinked “Grey?”

“May I come in?”

He invited Grey in. “You look good!”

Grey seized the man, snarling, “For my age?”

His fangs plunged deep before the man could answer, siphoning every last drop of his youthful glow.

Windows of the Soul by Sierra Silver

“I like your eyes.” 

Stirring her drink, Meg rolled her emerald greens. “Thanks.” Turning away, she immediately dismissed the speaker.

Her eyes sparkled while she laughed, and drank, and danced with her friends into the wee hours. Eventually, stumbling out and heading home.

Ow, I left my contacts in. Rising from a groggy sleep, Meg blinked awake—she tried to blink. She found herself bound with her eyes prised open,

Her muffled panic caught her captor’s attention. “How unfortunate for you. It’ll hurt more awake.”

The movement of enucleation spoon caught the light. “You really have the most amazing eyes.”
