Excerpt:
Sheila
started to tremble when he broke free from the last of whatever or
whoever had imprisoned him. A shiver raced through her and she knew.
Grant
had just broken free from Keir Hamilton’s mental hold over him.
He
tore off his tunic and whipped it aside. With nothing but the
Hamilton’s plaid hung low on his waist, he was an impressive sight.
Legs braced, arms by his side, fists clenched, he closed his eyes.
Cast in the soft, flickering glow of a single sputtering torch, sweat
slicked muscles rippled down his long warrior’s body. Was he
praying? Long moments passed. Every one of them a lifetime as her
heart thundered. Then, as if replacing one swift divine moment with
another, his eyes snapped open and met hers.
It
felt like a freight train hit her.
“Och,
my wee geal,” he whispered.
Wee
what?
Sheila
made to speak but the words died on her lips when in two swift
strides, he pulled her into his arms. The word ‘wee’ seemed a
massive understatement when up against him. Though she was fairly
tall at five foot seven, he had to be a foot taller. Lord, she felt
tiny! What had been but a tremble became a harsh fiery heat that
whiplashed through her body. Emotional state and sensory awareness in
overdrive, she put her hands against his hard chest.
“Oh,
I shouldn’t have done that,” she murmured. But she didn’t pull
her hands away.
No,
if anything, she pressed tighter and curled her fingers slightly. It
was one thing to meet a man in your mind, another thing entirely to
feel him pressed up against your body. When he tilted up her chin,
her eyes slid shut. Why, she’d never know. She supposed somewhere
deep inside she wasn’t ready to look too closely into his eyes.
But
why?
Perhaps
she was afraid of what she’d see there. Perhaps though he seemed so
strong she’d see years of mental abuse flicker in his gaze. Mental
abuse inflicted by Keir being twisted within his mind for so long.
The very idea of it made her sick to her stomach.
But
none of that mattered when she felt his warm breath whisper over her
lips. Close, so very close. She could all but feel his mouth hovering
over hers. Time slowed as her lips fell open. Sensation heightened. A
slow burn covered her cheeks. An ever so slight throbbing began first
on the sides of her neck as emotion welled. Her heart pounded so
strongly that her lips pulsed, ready for the pressure, the weight of
his mouth against hers.
