Excerpt
“Don’t even
think it, caveman,” she warned with a breathy laugh. “You stay right there.”
She laid her
mask on the seat cushion, and raised the front of her dress over her ankle. She
then perched one foot on the edge of the same seat. Perspiration began to
gather at my hairline as she pinched a slip of the gold fabric and lace
overlay, drawing it farther up over the creamy golden skin of her tensed calf.
I held my breath
when the fabric reached her knee, and she released one hand, batting her
eyelashes demurely. I had no idea when Amanda had learned to flirt and tease so
expertly, but I wasn’t about to complain…well, maybe just a little. She’d drive
me crazy with this newfound ability.
Amanda’s free
hand slid over her knee and continued upward, bunching the fabric to reveal a
sheathed dagger strapped to the outer side of her thigh. The tip just reached
her knee. My eyes widen in astonishment at the decorative hilt, twisting thorny
vines intricately engraved in the silver colored metal. The design carried down
the dark leather sheath.
“This is the
Druid Blade.”
About the
Author
Carol Oates came into the world on
Christmas morning, in an elevator. Raised just across the street from the
childhood home of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, it was only a matter of time
before Carol’s love of all things supernatural would emerge.
She began experimenting with fiction at school and keeps the notebook containing her first unpublished novel in her desk drawer. Over three decades later, all her stories still begin life scrawled on paper.
When not writing, Carol can be found exploring history with her son. Luckily, he shares her love of old buildings, castles, and tombs.
Well THAT's a great place to keep a knife. ;-) Sexy excerpt!
