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 even as he greedily samples all she is willing to offer.
When she gave a slight arch to her
hips, he increased the tempo of his thrusts, yet never took his gaze off her
until she cried out with passion, then, closing his eyes, he gave himself over
to his own pleasure.
Afterwards, he lay beside her and
continued to stroke her along her legs and hips, as if he needed to touch
her. He said nothing, but his eyes were
dark and haunted as if he feared letting her go, feared losing her in some way.
Torn between his desire to protect the woman he loves, and his need to be with her, Dominic takes and gives back unstintingly, all the while praying he isn't making a fatal mistake.
