Yay for sugar cookies!
Yay for love!
And yay for kissing scenes in Emblem of Eternity book 2!
This is a small excerpt from the scene. Since I don't want to completely spoil the scene for when you read it in the book, I’ve taken out Alex and Emil’s
names. That means you’ll have to guess who Evie’s kissing. :)
I know, I know. I can hear you all yelling at me.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Emblem of Eternity 2 Excerpt
“I
don’t think it’s a good idea.” I shook my head, like that would emphasize my
argument and stop his advances. It didn’t.
His
arms went around me tight, pulling me to him. My chest crushed into his, the
hard planes of his stomach obvious even through our clothes. He looked down at
me, not loosening his embrace. My breath was shallow as I stared back,
wondering how long it would be until we both lost all common sense and flung
each other onto a fresh bed of hay. He moved his lips down my cheeks, softly
brushing wispy kisses over my face as he made his way to my neck. When he got
to my ear, he took the soft pad in his lips and nipped lightly, then whispered
one word. “Why?”
Why?
Why what? Had there been a question? I fumbled around in my head for what we’d
been talking about. Oh. That’s right. Bad idea. This is a bad idea. Why is it
still a bad idea? What was my list again? I did more fumbling and found one.
“What about ****?”
I
felt him tense, his shoulders becoming taut under his shirt. “He’s not invited
to this conversation.” He kept kissing down my neck, and I moaned. His hands
moved around to my stomach, unzipping my coat. He quickly discarded it on the
ground, his fingers moving lightly under my sweater and blouse, inching
them up ever so slightly. I’d never been addicted to anything, but imagined
this was how addiction started. A little at a time. He pulled my sweater over
my head, then kept kissing back up my neck and along my jawline. “We’re not
doing anything wrong.”
I
looked at where our hands were, and the clothes slowly making their way to the
ground. “I guess it depends on your definition. **** would think this is
seriously wrong.”
A
muscle at his jaw ticked, his eyes glittering with a combination of passion and
anger. “I told you,” he said, moving swiftly, one arm sliding under my thighs,
the other around my back. He lifted me, cradling me in his arms, and walked
down the row of stalls to an empty area at the end of the barn. Fresh hay was
scattered in large mounds, creating a soft bed on the ground—albeit a scratchy
one, but better than the dirt floor. He laid me down gently in the hay then
straddled me, the years of want, need, written across his face. “We’re not
talking about him.” With that, he was on top of me, the kiss aggressive. I
could feel my soulmark burning. If this kept up, I wouldn’t be surprised if the
whole barn went up in flames.
I really enjoyed the excerpt.
ReplyDeleteThank you, LM! :)
Delete"Wow!" said the melted puddle on the floor.
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Thank you, Veray! I wish I could have posted more of the scene, but it gave too much away. :)
DeleteOH! LOVED! If I had to guess, though, I think it is Emil by the way he is reacting to the situation and Evie's inquiry. But I loved it either way and the mystery around who it could be added to the exhilaration. Thank you!! Can't wait for book 2!!!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome, this really made my day, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAHHH!!! :) CAN'T Wait!!!
ReplyDeleteSTOP IT. So fabulous. Can't wait for the book, can't for the cover reveal. Can't... wait....
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just saw this and I think it's Alex because of the aggressive-ness. Lol! I do hope it's him because then Emil and Evie's would be hotter! (Gotta keep the better stuff for the book, right?) :P Can't wait! :D
