“I’m
waiting, Cecilia.” Diltan crossed his arms over his chest.
His
domineering attitude made her already fired-up temper flare in an instant. She
went on the attack.
“Okay
Diltan, let’s talk. Why don’t you start with why my cousin Lindsey doesn’t like
you? I’d be interested in finding out
why she hinted it would be a good idea to avoid getting involved with you.”
Cissy
didn’t know what she’d expected the Dramok’s reaction to be. It certainly wasn’t
seeing him go deathly pale. The man’s jaw snapped shut so hard she thought he
might break his teeth.
His
clanmates looked at him with obvious confusion. Rolat asked, “What’s this
about, Diltan?”
In a
tone tight with fury Diltan snarled, “It’s something we don’t need to discuss
in front of her.” His glare was enough to make Cissy cringe a little. Skewering
her with that look, he told her, “At least Matara Lindsey can be counted on for
discretion. You might learn a thing or two about that.”
He
turned on his heel and stormed into the bath facility. Cissy heard the water
run and loud splashing.
Recovering
from her surprise at his reaction, she called out, “Are you saying I have no
discretion?”
The
water switched off. Diltan came back into the sleeping room. Without pausing,
he grabbed up his pile of clothes from the floor and kept going towards the
door that led to the greeting room. As he went, he said, “It is not your strong
suit, from what I’ve seen.”
Unmindful
of her nudity, Cissy hurried out after him. Diltan stood in the middle of the
room, yanking his clothes on. He seemed intent on pretending she wasn’t there.
Hurt by
his refusal to look at her, Cissy yelled, “You don’t know anything about me,
you pompous, self-important jerk!”
He
stepped into his shoes, finishing his quick dressing. He brought his eyes up to
stare at her. “I know this.”
With
that, he made two quick strides to stand in front of her. Before she could
react, Diltan grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her close. His mouth fell
on hers.
Cissy
instinctively parted her lips. Diltan’s tongue forged in, taking possession and
kissing her soundly. At the same time, the hand not holding her in place slid
over her pussy, stroking and fondling. Cissy’s senses lit, arousal filling her
gut and making her clutch the man with need. Honey slid from her to cover
Diltan’s talented fingers. She moaned, grinding hard against his touch.
Releasing March 27.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait until this comes out! I love your characters in all the books. Do you think you will ever give narpok a happy ending?
ReplyDeleteShe deserves it, doesn't she? I know she has a part to play yet, but I haven't quite figured out how her story will end up yet.
