Welcome to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even classic literature we think you’ll like.
This post for HHD is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment, a shape-shifting wizard romance published by New Concepts Publishing. The story revolves around a young psychic woman facing off with the dark wizard of Ravenscroft, who she is convinced has brutally slaughtered her sister in a fit of jealous rage on their wedding night.
In this segment, Dominic's deepening feelings for Serena make it more likely his evil brother will target her. Rather than risk losing her for good, Dominic decides to send Serena home directly after the funeral of his sister. Serena doesn't want to leave, but arguing will gain her nothing but his anger and the likelihood of a more speedy departure, so she remains silent. Though Dominic is suspicious of Serena's new found docility, until she is safely away from him, he insists she sleep in his bed. And in Victorian times, that simply wasn't done.
Though Serena had reason to suspect
that Dominic's proximity to her wasn’t entirely necessary for him to protect her,
she had no wish to argue the point.
Her cheeks warming from the intensity of his gaze, she put her robe back
on and walked over to him. He said
nothing for a moment, then swept her up in his arms and kissed her.
Though Dominic believes he is doing what is best for the woman he loves, she has entirely different plans.
