First, I’d like to thank my friend April, as
well as the ladies at my Facebook group and Talking Two Lips for the suggested
questions for Demetri deVerieux from HUNTERS’ GAME:
The interview:
What do you and Cliantha look for in a person when you’re looking
for a toy for the evening? Do you go for looks or lack of intelligence to make
it easier for you to trap your prey and make them compliant?
Demetri: What do we look for? You mean apart from a
warm vein? *raising an eyebrow to
emphasize the sarcasm* What I look for, and let’s be clear on this, I select the prey, Clia is the bait.
Intelligence makes the game more interesting and more satisfying. Anyone can
lure a drunk or some poor bastard who’d jump at the chance to breathe in the
same air Cliantha inhabits, to entice an intelligent human into coming to us
willing is always a victory. Since we’re looking to indulge in an array of
passions and hungers, appealing prey is preferred. Compliancy isn’t an issue,
willing or not, I control this game and all the players in it.
Who turned you? How old are you? How did you hook up with
Cliantha? Are you into the BDSM lifestyle or is it just with Cliantha that your
inner caveman comes out?
Demetri: I was turned by Stavros almost 500 years
ago. Cliantha is the reincarnation of the only woman Stavros ever loved.
Several hundred years ago, I let her be killed to save my own ass, he was more
than a little annoyed about it and we parted company for a couple of centuries.
Clia is mine now. After I put Stavros in his crypt for the final time, she was
broken. I offered her shelter. She’s entertaining, so I keep her.
Inner caveman? If you
call a male who takes what he wants and makes it his, then perhaps I am. She
knows better than to fight with me, she loses. And then I have to make her
aware of who is the master and who is the slave in this relationship. *smiling* BDSM is not a lifestyle to
males of my breed. We are masters, and you are our slaves.
What are you going to do about the glimpse of betrayal you’ve
seen in Clia?
Demetri: *laughing* Clia is never going to betray me, she knows how painful my vengeance
will be if she dares to attempt it. *shrugs*
If she feels the need to test my patience, I’m certain it will be memorable for
us both.
How
did you and Cliantha meet? Are you satisfied with your existence as a vampire?
Is there anything you wish were different? What's on your "bucket
list"?
Demetri: Clia was
devoted to Stavros when I met her, it was simply my wish that she belong to me
not him. It took several hundred years, but I get what I want.
*eyes the interviewer
and laughs* Satisfied with my existence? I can’t die, I have
no laws to obey, can do anything and no one can stop me. What’s not to love? I
have no bucket list, because what I want, I take. What I want to do, I simply
do.
What is the relationship between you and Stravos? How
did it come about? Is it an amicable relationship or strained?
Demetri: I’d
hardly call it a relationship. His daughter wanted me as her pet, so he ripped
out my throat, turned me and gave me to her. I gave him her heart while it was
still warm once I got tired of her. I’d call our interactions strained for some
reason.
Was there a time when having a normal life, growing old,
having family, meant something?
Demetri: Yes, it meant growing old, getting sick, and
dying. I can’t imagine why I didn’t want all that. *stands and smiles* Thank you so much for this fascinating
conversation, stay off the streets later if you’d like to continue breathing.
And with the interview ended by our illustrious vampire,

Excerpt:
A flicker of reddish blond hair caught her eye and her
vampiric sight pierced the murky atmosphere, saw him smile at her from across
the room. Already her body hummed with the knowledge that his hands would soon
be on her skin, inciting a hunger that no one else could feed.
She brushed past the few who lingered near the top of the
stairs, and skirted the metal bars that gave the place such a distinctive look.
By the time she reached where he’d been, he’d vanished. Grinding her teeth, she
whirled around and studied the crowd. Again, his pale presence drew her. One
arched eyebrow rose in amused challenge.
“Your game is intriguing, love,” she whispered. He’d hear
her despite the deafening music.
And which role do you prefer to play? Predator or prey?
His answer whispered inside her head, and she grinned.
What does it matter? It always ends the same and I have
never objected...
