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. Dominic knows he is endangering Serena's life by keeping her with him, but he is unable to let her go. He desires her, yet hates himself for not having more control.
"It
might not have been fair to send you away before the funeral, but it definitely
would have been better for you.”
“We don’t know that,” she murmured,
placing small, tender kisses down the center of his chest to his abdomen--and
lower, with each kiss punctuated by a
word. “Sending me away could actually be
the worst thing you could do.”
Torn between his desire to protect the woman he loves, and his need to be with her, Dominic takes what she so willingly offers him.

I like small tender kisses, especially in the direction she's placing them;) Woot!
ReplyDeleteI'd want to stay with him, too. Great snippet! XX
ReplyDeleteWith the path she's traveling, she's sure to convince him. This is such a delicious book!
ReplyDeleteI hope she knows what she's getting into, if she's able to seduce him into changing his mind.
ReplyDeleteIf she continues on, I doubt he'll want to stop her. Very hot snippet!
