The gentleness of his touch made me tense in his arms... RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #8Sunday #YAPNR

Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows!

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) Greta runs away from her surprise engagement party through the woods. Pax saves her from a shadow demon. Oh, and he's a unicorn! 
Back at Pax's cabin, Greta and Pax talk. He tells her that the shadow has fed on her emotions. And that it's definitely someone she knows. And she must under no circumstance confront it because it will kill her. And don't get emotional about anything! >.< Pax offers to drive Greta home. As they're saying goodbye, Greta tenses in his arms...

I didn’t know this boy and, as far as I knew, he didn’t know me. Did he really think I’d complain, or did he want to hold me? The wind caught the hem of my dress. Goosebumps danced up my legs, but it wasn’t from the cool breeze. This all felt so right. Paxton carrying me through the woods…

Goddess, stop! 

"Relax," he whispered in my hair, "I know what I'm doing; you're safe."

Tune in next week for more angsty spooky goodness!
