Excerpt
from FOXBLOOD: A Brush with the Moon
by Raquel Lyon
The
funeral was a typically sombre affair, alive with soggy tissues and streaky
make-up. I stood at the back, letting the vicar’s voice wash over me, and spent
the whole time staring at the flower-laden coffin, wondering if the lid would
suddenly flip up and a fanged monster would escape to reap its vengeance on the
congregation.
Unsurprisingly,
it didn’t happen, and as the mourners dispersed in the direction of the pub, I
quietly snuck off home. I wasn’t in the mood for crowds and needed time to
think, time to try to make sense of at least something, but as I turned to
close the door, it was obstructed by a perfectly polished black shoe that
belonged to…
“Sebastian?”
“Seb,
please,” he said, easing his way through. “Only my father calls me Sebastian.”
He checked down the backstreet and closed the door securely. His eyes scanned
the flat. “Nice place.”
“I like
it.”
“It
doesn’t bother you? Living over a funeral parlour?” he asked.
“Why
would it? The neighbours are quiet.”
He didn’t
laugh at my joke; neither did he comment. He simply stood silently, staring. It
was very unnerving and made my legs go all wobbly. Perhaps if I turned away
from him, he’d disappear again? It was worth a shot. I forced my jelly legs
over to the front window and stared out at nothing in particular. The light was
subdued, and the sky had darkened to an air force grey. A low mist was
beginning to carpet the distant fields, and I wondered if snow had been
forecast.
I knew my
little experiment hadn’t worked. He was still there. I could feel his presence
and smell his scent, a musky, inviting aroma that filled my senses and sent my
head into a whirl, and it was getting stronger.
“Your
friends interrupted us the other day. Can we talk now?” he whispered softly
into my neck, and his fingertips traced a fiery trail down my spine.
“What’s
the point? There’s nothing to say. I wish you’d just leave me alone,” I said,
lowering my head in time to see Lara leaving the newsagents. She glanced up
with a look of fury contorting her face as Sebastian’s hands reached around
either side of me and grabbed the window frame.
“I can’t
do that. I’m not that strong,” he said.
I studied
the arms now imprisoning me, with their perfectly formed muscles straining
against the rolled-up sleeves of his white shirt, and seriously doubted his
statement. His stance was predatory and made me feel uncomfortable. I ducked
under his elbow to escape, but he caught me around the waist and pulled me
against him. Our bodies moulded together perfectly, and the strength of his
grip made me feel like a china doll that he’d be able to crush in an instant.
He was almost a full head taller than I was, and the warmth of his breath
caressed my forehead. How easy it would be to reach up and taste those lips. I
imagined the feel of them, and my own parted in an involuntary invitation.

Excerpt from DRAGON’S WEB by Lia Davis
Cayden
watched a single tear roll down her cheek. She wasn’t lying. Her story
explained why she’d suddenly disappeared. However, Nyna believed that Kara left
town with a guy she met on the Internet. It was most likely a story her uncle
had fed her. “You’ve been held captive for the last year and a half?”
Kara
nodded and glanced up at him. “I need to tell Nyna her uncle is not the nice,
caring man she believes him to be.”
“Yet you
can’t just show up and blurt that out. Nyna was crushed when you left…were
kidnapped.” He silently cursed himself for revealing Nyna’s feelings to Kara.
Yet he couldn’t lie to her. Not that he made a habit of being dishonest with
anyone. It wasn’t his nature. However, Kara stirred an attraction that no one
except Nyna had sparked in both the man and the dragon. It both confused and
intrigued him. Pushing off the wall, he moved to stand in front of her. “Stand
up.”
She
reluctantly did as he commanded. He lifted her chin and locked gazes with her.
The green in her eyes darkened slightly. “What are your intentions with Nyna?”
“I love
her. She’s the only family I have, and thoughts of her are what kept me strong
and alive for the last year and a half. I’ll fight you for her.” Her green eyes
shone with unshed tears. Wild fear mixed with determination rolled off her.
So will
I. He entertained the idea that he could include Kara in the web. It was
tricky, but it had been done. His magic was strong. He could build a big enough
web to bind the three of them together. However, he had to be sure Kara’s
intentions were true to her heart. His curse could only be broken if the love
within the union was strong and pure. In other words, he couldn’t cast a love
spell. No, the only spell he was allowed to cast over his chosen female, or
females in this case, was the dragon’s web; the enchantment to start the
bonding that could hopefully break his curse.
