Happy Saturday and welcome to my first My Sexy Saturday! For this hop you post
7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words. It can be from a WIP or something published.
For this week, I
thought I’d do something from my latest Dreamspinner release Shadows in the Night. It can be found here. It’s a
paranormal/shifter novel that focuses on two men raised in different times—Jason,
a Native American shifter, and Chip, a modern man with modern ideas.
Time has also brought with it an enemy that harbors a deep-seated
hatred for Jason; an enemy who will use whatever means necessary to bring Jason
to his knees… including Jason’s own mate.

THE black cougar pulled the
blanket to mid-hip. Chip’s chest was still bare, but hey, he had to get his
kicks somehow.
Ugh, raw steak. Stereotypical
response. See what looks like a wild animal and offer it raw, bloody meat. I
prefer mine medium-well, Chip.
He made another loop around
the living area. As far as he could tell, things had calmed down outside and
the other shifter was gone. The appearance of a new cougar worried him. He knew
who all the shifters were in town, and this one, he didn’t recognize. There was
something about its scent too—he smelled off. Wrong. He had made eye contact
when they fought and there was nothing, no humanity in the other cougar’s eyes.
All of his kind retained their morals while in spirit form. Whoever this was
had targeted Chip, and that was a mistake. Messing with a shifter’s mate not
only could result in death, but usually did. His kind tended to be… possessive.
He glanced back at Chip. His
human was snoring. All the excitement must have worn him out.
And what the hell is up with
the “boy” nickname all of a sudden? Do I look like a boy? We’ll see who the
“boy” is when I get your ass in bed and you’re under me screaming my name.
Frankly, I don’t think I can afford to wait much longer, with the appearance of
that other shifter. Of course, you need to know whose name to yell. First thing
tomorrow, I plan to remedy that, thanks to the Other. Just wish it didn’t have
to be done like this.
He’d taken to calling the new
shifter Other simply because he didn’t know who he was. Hours passed, and the
night sky lightened as daybreak approached. He decided it was safe for him to
leave. There had been no sign of the new shifter for hours.
Should I wake him? Ah well, where’s the fun
in that? Time to make a point, I think. One that he can’t ignore. Might as
well, because come tomorrow, he’s going to have to deal with the fact things
aren’t what they seem around here.
