Every Thursday we are hosting a meme called: That’s what HE said Thursday. For more info on what this meme is all about click here.
Julie’s Quote:
“Fourteen hundred and thirty-one.”
I blinked. “What’s that?”
“The year I was born, which is not, as you’ll note, yesterday.”
“No one feels like you do, so every brush of your skin is a cruel reminder of what I’ve lost. I can barely stand the sight of you because you’re more beautiful than I’ve allowed myself to remember, and when I cut that wire off Maximus and smelled you all over him, I wanted to kill him more than I’ve wanted to kill anyone in my life, yet I couldn’t because of my promise to you.”
“I despise flowery speech since those who use it are usually guilty of the worst betrayals later. That and the type of life I’ve lived have made me incapable of saying the pretty words you deserve to hear, yet if I made you a vampire, you’d feel my emotions as clearly as I hear your thoughts now.”
Then he drew my hand to his chest, placing it over his heart.
“I never turned any of my previous lovers because I didn’t want them to feel how little I cared. You I loved, yet you left me because I wouldn’t verbalize my emotions. That will probably happen again, but if you could feel what you mean to me, Leila” —his voice deepened— “words wouldn’t matter.”

Why quietly? hehe
Okay. I’ve not read these books yet but I think I already love Vlad. It’s been a while since I’ve fallen for a tortured hero. ~ Bel
It doesn’t get more tortured than Dracula, huh?
I’m not sure that this is a book for me, but thanks for sharing.
I’ve heard about this Vlad before. He’s definitely known for his swoons. Guess I’m missing out! 😀
