I was told the themes for Saturday Snippets were open for interpretation. Good thing because I have come to the very sad realization that I’ve never blown anything up in any of my books–an oversight I intend to correct in the future. However, I have written many ‘explosion’ scenes in my books–thing is, they all take place in the bedroom! So, for your explosion-reading pleasure, I give you an excerpt from my latest release from Samhain Publishing.
Excerpt from Rough Cut
If he didn’t get inside her body soon, he felt as if he would explode into a million pieces. He rose from the bed and watched as she regained her wits. She pulled to check the tightness of the straps holding her captive to his bed and her gaze flew to his.
“You won’t break those restraints.” He slowly undressed, thrilled to see her watching him as if spellbound, subdued, submitting. He removed his shirt and pushed down his pants and boxers in one smooth move, her eyes following his every action.
“Like what you see?” he teased when her tongue darted out to moisten her lips.
Her eyes flew back to his face. “Yes,” she whispered. “Very much. Please hurry, Ty.”
He fought to regain control of the moment. Damn her. She’d taken his ideas of domination and submission and blown them out of the water. He’d lived his entire life with the dream of controlling a woman in the bedroom, and in one afternoon, Gwen had taken his preconceived notions of how this should work and twisted them into something new, something glorious. Life with this woman would never be boring and as that thought crossed his mind, he realized that he would accept nothing short of a lifetime with her.
This really was their honeymoon.
Rough Cut is available at Samhain.
Ooooh. Yummy!
