The Last Rising of Lazarus by Chevon Gael

From the Publisher

Vampire Lazarus stalks Ana in the dark night against the modern backdrop of the City of Lights. History teacher Anastasia holds the key--or the kiss--that can break a centuries'-old curse and render Lazarus human again. But old vampire foe Darien will do anything to stop Lazarus from fulfilling his destiny as the two creatures are linked by the same curse. Lazarus' salvation will mean Darien's destruction. Ana is forced to chose between the two, an unwilling pawn in an age-old struggle. What she doesn't know, however, is that her fate has already been decided by an ancestor responsible for the same curse. Can true love free them all?

She was attracted to him. He smiled at the thought. She wanted to know him the way a woman should know a man--intimately. That he could have any woman he wanted, when he wanted, gave him no pleasure. Taking control of a soft mind to merely take sustenance was one thing, but taking a woman's virginity the same way did nothing to further his cause. He discovered that the hard way. The first time he attempted to free himself by taking an unwilling virgin, he ended up having to put the poor wretch out of her misery. Too hungry to hide his thirst after coupling, he had no choice but to silence her screams. He learned early that he was doomed to Serena's curse unless he took a woman pure of heart and not merely pure of body.

As much as Ana's body was pure, she was still a woman. There were desires sleeping within her. He would awaken her--gently. He felt almost delighted by the prospect. He was confident now that he could win her. Even his own sex responded to the idea, something which only happened during his feeding period. This, too, was an excellent sign. But time was still against him.
