TEASER:
He advanced towards her, his movements fluid and graceful. She gasped as a beam of moonlight illuminated his features. Striking and dangerous were the two words that popped into her head. Dressed entirely in black, his great height and massive shoulders almost immediately blocked out most of the light. As if sensing her need to see him better, he turned slightly so she could make out his features.
Long dark hair was
swept back from his face, falling in a curtain of silk around his shoulders.
His forehead was prominent, and his cheekbones were high. Quirked in a half
smile, his lips were thin, yet surprisingly sensual. For a moment, his eyes
seemed to glow an eerie red before fading to dark once again. As much as she
strained, she could not make out their color.
“Green.” His deep,
slightly accented voice answered her unasked question.
She felt his voice,
for it seemed to vibrate deep inside her, causing her to yearn for something.
What that craving was, she wasn’t sure, but she longed to hear him speak again.
“Sit, please.”
Scooting over to the center of the bed, she patted the white duvet next to her.
A satisfied smile
crossed his face as he sank to the mattress. He said nothing and sat as still
as a stone. Predator. The word flashed in her head and a deep fear rose
within her as her heart began to pound in her chest.
His dark laughter
filled the air, and one of his large hands covered her fluttering heart. The
heat from his palm seared her chest. She wanted to move, but she was paralyzed
by fear. His green-eyed gaze captured hers and she could not tear away from
their terrible beauty. For a moment she thought she was dead, and lamented the
fact that there were so many things left in life that she wanted to do.
