This
week’s we’re doing something a little different. We hope to do this
occasionally and that you’ll like it. Our theme is My Sexy Addiction. It’s an
open theme in that we’re not going to say when or how or where. We are going to
say – just one thing and that’s about the song – Addicted to Love. You remember
it…don’t you? How about the line ‘You might as well face it you’re addicted to
love’? And doesn’t that just say it all about us here at 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 upcoming Dreamspinner release, Shadows in the Night. It’s book #1 in the Leap of Faith series. Book #2, To Touch the
Sky, will release on April 3, 2015.
When Eva returned a short time later with her catch, she
stopped and watched the huge, black animal and the little boy sleeping next to
each other.
“I’m back.” Eva sat down next to the beast. A long
black tail rested across Chip’s legs, and greenish-yellow eyes focused on Eva.
“You know this can’t go on much longer, my friend. He’s smart for a child his
age, and soon he’s going to ask questions about you.”
The creature rumbled in agreement.
“I know it’ll be hard for you. But another
year—maybe two—and you’ll have to disappear from his life. The time isn’t right
yet for you to make yourself known.”
The creature rumbled again, sadness in his eyes.
Eva ran her hand over the thick black coat. “I know,
dear. But the time will come. You and I both know that. It will come,
and he’s going to need you. Take care of him for me, okay?”
The beast nodded his head again. His time would
come, but not for many years yet. The little boy had to grow into a man first.
