At
her movement the man, the Moon Sifter, turned, the sole person she left
everything behind to come here to kill.
She
snatched the blanket back up. “Where are my clothes?”
One
shoulder lifted in a shrug. “I needed something to start the fire with.”
“The
whole thing?”
The
fire blazed behind him, fueled by varied sizes of split logs. He was being
spiteful or…she studied his smug expression…he believed by taking her clothes
away he’d make her vulnerable, having to hold a blanket up for modesty. Well,
he’d underestimated her resolve. She had no qualms about killing him while
bare-butt naked and then she’d take his clothes for her own after doing
it. Which, no time like the present.
She
flung herself at him, leaving blanket behind, intending to knock him off
balance into the hearth where he’d either fall in the fire or hopefully knock
his head against the stone mantle. Either way, it would give her enough of a
distraction to grab up his blade again.
Except
her forward momentum came to an extreme stop. One second she was moving, the
next she wasn't, hands flat and arms jolted against an immovable chest. Holy
crap. What was he made of, unbreakable granite?
His
arms swept up, long hands clamped around her. Flat gray eyes glared down at her
and she swallowed. Fear, or something else, swirled in her belly, rising upward
into her breasts.
Had
to be fear. Or the sudden chill, though she had to admit there was something
uncharacteristically strange happening to her, something sensual and unsettling
about being so close to the Highlander while he was fully dressed and she was
completely bare.
She
shook her bangs over her eyes, hiding the only way that she could.

How did I treat myself after finishing a series, you ask? I went flying...

Great excerpt! :) And I wish that I have the guts to go flying like you! :)
ReplyDeleteThat kind of flying in a wind tunnel doesn't take guts at all. No hard landings.
DeleteThe excerpt is great. Sounds like it's going to be a very interesting book and read...

Thanks. Anyone who likes Highlanders and time travel should enjoy it.
DeleteYou do have some of the best covers, Clover. And thank heavens you weren't actually sky diving, but even in a wind tunnel! Jeez, that was a reward? That's the stuff my nightmares are made of. I'll be FBing and Tweeting this. Don't need to enter the contest. Congrats on finishing the series and continued good sales to you.
ReplyDeleteNice covers
