“Why
are you here?” she asked, ignoring the little jump of her heart at the sight of
him.
“Really,
Am? We’re going to do this? Me, out in the hallway as if I was some vampire
begging to come in just so I can bite that delicate little neck of yours?”
“Sorry,
I prefer werewolves,” she replied with a smirk before attempting to close the
door in his face. Irritated, she looked down and saw he used his foot as a
stopper.
“Cute.
Have it your way.” He stood his ground. Amaranth wanted to let him stay right
out in the hallway, but he was right. She didn’t want anyone privy to their
conversation, so she stepped away to let him enter.
“Come
in,” she relented and inhaled his clean scent as he walked past her to the
center of the room. His presence filled the tiny space as he looked around,
turned and laid those gorgeous hazel eyes on her. God, would she ever stop
feeling as if the very sight of him was like a vacuum sucking the air from her
body? She willed her pulse to slow its rapid hammering. He was still
devastatingly handsome with his ink black wavy hair and eyes that couldn’t
decide whether they wanted to be amber or green. They regarded her even now
with some sort of emotion that bordered on anxious and apologetic.

ReplyDeleteA fifth grade friend challenged me to a wiring contest one day, out of the blue. I remember sharing my first draft with my dad and he gave me so much praise. His response solidified my dream of becoming a writer. I was always sure of two things growing up: joining the Air Force and being a writer. You can imagine my joy when I was given a job in the Air Force that allowed me to write. Great question! Thanks for following me on the tour and good luck.
