Short Excerpt
“I won’t bite,” he said,
probably meaning it as a joke.
“Oh if only that were my only problem,” she sighed
under her breath.
“What?”
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
She took his hand, slipping her icy fingers through
his. The electric sparks tore a fiery path down the length of her arms, nearly
melting the ice beneath their feet. She shivered involuntarily and felt his
fingers flex.
“All right?” Had his voice always been so husky?
She dampened her lips. “Yeah…” The single word died
in her throat as she was pulled towards him. Her heart tripped. Her lungs
stilled. The heat of his body rushed over her with the subtle scent peppermint,
leather, spices and smoke.
A soft mist blew around them. Raindrops glistened
in his hair, shimmering under the pale glow of the light post. His eyes were
shadowed beneath wispy fringes, but the silver in them glinted like pools of
liquid mercury. Her breath caught. It must have made a sound because his
fingers tightened. His shaky exhale caressed her flushed face.
“This,” he whispered so quietly she almost didn’t
hear him. “Is why you are so bad for me.”
