Excerpt
Food or sex? Food or
sex? Food or....
Offering me his hand, he bowed and said, "Come, my queen, your feast awaits you."
Offering me his hand, he bowed and said, "Come, my queen, your feast awaits you."
Food it is, then. Grinning at the unexpected
playfulness, I regally presented my hand and allowed him to lead me to my
seat. He poured the wine and held up his glass.
"Slainte!"
I touched my glass against his and answered,
"Slainte."
"We have another day in Paris. What would you
like to do with it?" he asked while filling my plate for me.
I watched with amusement as he cut up my chicken and tore
off a chunk of the warm bread. Who are you and what have you done with
Killian? He sat the plate in front of me and picked up a piece of the
crispy meat with his fingers. Before I could answer his question, he held
the morsel to my lips. I opened my mouth like a baby bird.
Sighing with pleasure, I said, "Mm, that's so
good."
With a grin, he sliced a piece for himself while I
chewed. He slipped another piece between my lips, allowing his fingers to
linger longer than necessary. A tingle of electricity wove its way down
my spine and I took a calming sip of wine.
What did I want to do with him in Paris, the most romantic
city in the world? That had to be a trick question. I mean
really. The only thought that came to mind was sex.... Of course it was
hard to think of anything else with his fingertips brushing my lips and his
eyes undressing me. I tried to give him a seductive stare across the
table and flinched away at the flash of raw desire in his eyes. He was
taking his time right now but those eyes promised no such restraint
later. I was having a really hard time eating when I only wanted to drag
him to the bed.
"Eat, Princess. You have to get your strength
back. Did you know that sex burns off a thousand calories? When you
consider your high metabolism, you'll probably burn triple that much by the end
of the night. You're too weak for that now. Probably we should wait
another week or two, just to be safe."
I stabbed another piece of chicken and made a big show of
chewing it up. After swallowing, I said, "You're not playing
fair! I can only eat so much! My stomach's shrunk." I
speared another bite of chicken and washed it down with mineral water.
He laid his hand over mine and said, "Take your time,
baby. We've got all night." He traced the rune on my hand and
smiled slowly. "This night's for you. I'm going to spoil you,
so just relax and let me."
I nibbled on the bread. "You're a
mystery."
"Why's that?"
I was idly tracing the strong bones of his hand and
enjoying the feel of his blood flowing under the surface. "You're so
powerful, but you're so gentle with me....I know your strength, but you treat
me like I might break. Why are you so good to me? I'm not
fragile."
He shrugged and offered me a tiny, sweet berry. The
fruit exploded in my mouth and I couldn't resist kissing his fingers.
These little berries were ridiculously good. About the size of a
thumbnail, they burst into a sweet floral juice that was very different from
the strawberries in America. I could move to France just for these
berries.
"You don't need to ask me that. You should know
the answer. Think with your heart, not your head."
He tugged me to my feet and wrapped an arm around my
waist. Leaning me back over his arm, he nibbled the pulse at the base of
my throat. His breath was hot against my skin. He smelled of
strawberries and bread and the wild forest scent that surrounded him. My
head swam happily and I closed my eyes. Before lifting me upright, his
mouth trailed kisses from my throat to the tie of the sarong.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly.
"Your eyes are glazed."
Groaning dramatically, I pressed against him and ran my
hands underneath his shirt to feel the warm muscle there. "I'm not
going to be responsible for my actions in another 30 seconds. You're
taking chances with my powers. Look! My fingers are
glowing!" I wiggled the tips of my fingers. They were glowing
whitely in the candlelight of the room. "I might accidentally blow
you up."
With a smug glance, he said, "This is your
fault. You wanted a full night with me. Are you telling me you
can't handle a full night with me?"

Happy Friday and thanks for helping me get the word out about my new release. It's now available as a Kindle eBook! Stone Angels is the third book in my Primani series and I'm soooo excited to get it in front of the world! The Primani series is an exciting urban fantasy romance that follows the tribulations and transformation of one young woman and the tight group of elite warriors charged with her journey to immortality. At times dark, at times light, full of twists, and steamy passion, the Primani series provides a new spin on an old concept. There’s a fine line between good and evil and no one is immune to temptation.
