(Vampire Desires #1)

By J.C. Matthews

CHAPTER 1

The party was boring even if it was a Hollywood party and I had Renna to thank for my current situation. She had dragged me to yet another one of those parties. They were typically filled with egotistical actors, spoiled actresses and the occasional arrogant music industry type who had been lucky enough to mingle with the so-called Hollywood elite. Personally, I think these events border on the ridiculous. But I might be a tad biased since I grew up attending these parties, plastering on fake smiles and going through the motions of acting as if it all mattered. Really, in the grand scheme of things it really didn’t.

I'm not an actress or a singer. My name is Sloan Wood. I've lived a relatively privileged life as the daughter of a high-profile divorce attorney to the stars, Clayton Wood. Between my father and Renna, I know more dirt about celebrities than I really ever wanted to know. And trust me when I tell you this: the celebrities that are marketed to be ‘America's Sweetheart’ or The ‘Boy Next Door’ usually have more secrets to hide than the train-wrecks you see in the tabloids. And sadly those splashy rags in the checkout lanes at grocery stores are usually right on.

If I chose to, I could likely spend my time star fucking my way through Hollywood, cashing in on the sizable allowance my father sent me each month. That wasn't who I was. I didn't want to be famous for being a STD-riddled, D-list slut famous for nothing except how many celebrities I could bed. I suppose I was the exception, not the rule.

It was bad enough that my mother had forced me into a brief modeling stint after my father divorced her when I was 16. She thought it would be fun to live vicariously through me. I'm probably best known for a series of controversial underwear ads for a famous designer known for his blue jeans. They were only scandalous because I was 16 at the time and photographed in semi-compromising positions with a much older male model.

Draining the last of my lukewarm champagne, I placed it on a passing server's tray, smoothly grabbing another. With a bored sigh I glanced around the room, barely paying attention to the conversations going on around me.

You could at least pretend to look like you're having fun, Renna muttered under her breath. She popped some sort of puff pastry in her mouth and nudged my arm with her elbow.

Why would I want to do that? Bored is the new black, I grumbled back grouchily.
