On The Edge Series by Kallysten

For Lisa, The Cliff was just one more bar to visit, one more competitor to gauge on her way to opening her own club. The verbal abuse unleashed on her by a patron is unexpected, but not entirely unusual: as a vampire, she has been called worse than ‘killer’ or ‘thing’ before. What is new, on the other hand, is the intervention of the bar’s owner. Lisa isn’t used to humans trying to protect her, and she finds Brett strangely endearing... moreFor Lisa, The Cliff was just one more bar to visit, one more competitor to gauge on her way to opening her own club.

For his part, Brett isn’t all that comfortable being around a vampire, but now that he has thrown out the lout who was insulting Lisa, he can hardly ask her to leave. After getting to know her a little, however, he starts seeing the woman beyond the fangs, and when she returns the next night he’s ready to share a dance with her… or even a little more… (24,000 words) less

When an old lover of hers, Leo, shows up at the club, Brett’s immediate fear is that he will lose Lisa. But if he just stops thinking long enough to follow Lisa’s lead, he might gain a lover instead of losing one.

Virginia tried to stay away from On The Edge, yet in the end, she returns to the club – and to her lover, vampire Anando. She’s determined to keep things under control this time, and she knows what to choose in his toy box to hold on to her decision. But the innocent game she expected sets her body ablaze with passion, and letting go might just be too hard to resist...

When she last saw vampire Anando, Virginia was helpless to refuse him anything, not even his request that she return to him.Once again, she is ready to follow his lead, despite her fear that she is losing herself in his control – until he gives her back more control than she ever knew she wanted.

Virginia wanted only one thing from vampire Anando - pleasure - and he offered it to her in ways she had never experienced before meeting him. However, when their casual relationship slowly transforms to include gifts, dinners and dates, they might both discover something they weren't expecting, or even ready for.

The temptation to return to the club and to Anando was too strong. Despite her better judgment, despite the risks to her heart, Virginia goes back to see her lover. He agrees to the rules she sets easily enough, but those same rules, once they are alone in his bedroom with a few toys between them, suddenly seem too restrictive to Virginia herself...

Despite her fears and reservations, through all their encounters, Virginia has never said no to Anando. This time, though, when she arrives early and is approached by Lisa and Brett, then when Anando makes her dance with Brett while he dances with Lisa, she guesses that he wants them, or one of them, to join them in bed. This, she tells him, she won’t do – she won’t sleep with someone she feels nothing for... moreDespite her fears and reservations, through all their encounters, Virginia has never said no to Anando.

This, she tells him, she won’t do – she won’t sleep with someone she feels nothing for. As it turns out, however, it’s someone else Anando has in mind, someone that Virginia is attracted to… less

Her last encounter with Anando left Virginia with questions she barely knows how to voice. She enjoyed being the focus of two men’s attentions, but Leo’s need to obtain permission from his lover to be with her puzzles her. Why would anyone choose to place themselves so completely in someone else’s power, she asks Anando. His hands-on demonstration answers her question – along with a few more she did not dare ask.

For Halloween, Anando suggests a new game to Virginia – for a night, they will trade roles and he will play at being human while she will embody a vampire on the hunt.Another game, another night of passion… but Virginia’s curiosity might end things abruptly…(7700 words)

The fire between them burns as hot as ever, and when morning comes, saying goodbye is difficult. But then, is it really goodbye? (9300 words)

Anando thought he had said his goodbyes, but the meddling of his Sire and the confession of a woman from his past change everything. He returns to Haventown, not to fall in bed with Virginia again, but to ask her a question. When she stands in front of him, however, he finds himself unable to ask her that simple but so important question. Will he leave while he still can, or will he risk his heart and stay a little longer? (14700 words)

The first time Virginia went to the dance club On The Edge, she only wanted to find out what a night in a vampire’s arms would be like. Anando showed her it could be much, much more than she had imagined. Over the next few months, every time she returned he continued to stretch her imagination and the boundaries she tried to set on their relationship... moreThe first time Virginia went to the dance club On The Edge, she only wanted to find out what a night in a vampire’s arms would be like.

Soon, though, Anando’s limits were tested as much as Virginia’s when their sexual encounters gave way to feelings neither of them had expected. less

The very first time Virginia spent a night with the vampire Anando, she couldn’t have begun to imagine all the sensual and sexual games she would experience with him. She also couldn’t have imagined that she would fall in love with him, or he with her. As she moves in with him and they find their places in each other’s lives, the discoveries start again. A few of them happen through old games revisited: role-play, public sex or a familiar dildo in a different hand... moreThe very first time Virginia spent a night with the vampire Anando, she couldn’t have begun to imagine all the sensual and sexual games she would experience with him.

A few of them happen through old games revisited: role-play, public sex or a familiar dildo in a different hand. Other discoveries come through new toys, some battery-operated, others custom-made to fit just right. And yet more discoveries come from playing with old and new partners. But in the end, the one lesson that remains the same might be the most important of all: love. **This is a sequel to the Out of the Box series, which is available as 10 individual short stories or one 'complete series' ebook.** **This story centers on a M/F relationship, but it includes M/M, M/M/F and F/F elements to various degrees.** less
