Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers! Check out other warriors here!
Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! Squee!!
Follow
Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton
"Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student
with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
****
(Read last week's post) Set-up... Pax has told Greta that he's a unicorn. A unicorn!!! So, of course, Greta is all: sure, yeah, whatever... Prove it! Pax is stubborn, so he says he won't shift into his full monoceros form, but he shows her his horn. Has she had enough proof? Erm, yeah. She needs to find her words. Change the subject. Not think about his horn...

Hadn’t he mentioned slayers…witches? “So you know I’m a witch?”
He nodded and laughed, “Yeah.”
I could almost hear another duh in his voice. “All right, smarty, how did you know?” Without thinking, I playfully punched at his shoulder. But I missed because he saw it coming, grabbed my wrist and spun me around. One hand held my wrist and pressed my own arm against my chest, while his other arm wrapped firmly around my waist and crushed me to his body.
Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!!
Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated!

ReplyDeleteLove that movement! Lots of intrigue between these two!
ReplyDeleteNice snippet! I'm fascinated with the idea of him being a unicorn...that's so fun!
ReplyDeleteWell done Karen! I LOVED the chemistry that the very end of the snippet created! I'm dying to know how she reacts to being caught that way by him. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI could hear the duh in his voice, too. Great character voice. :) Also nice sexual tension with the physical roughhousing. Creates electricity. Thanks for the peek, and best luck with the agent!
