Set up: Alan and Michaela just kissed for the first time. This is the scene following right after the joyous event. Enjoy!
***Note: The snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. Yes again there is some fancy punctuations and some long sentences. lol 
*******************************************************************************
“I knew you’d be a good kisser,” she said, her voice a hoarse whisper, lacing her words like an invitation for more.
His lips slid into a seductive curve as he spoke, “Did ye now?”
She nodded her head, still a little breathless.
“This was a mistake, ye know.”
“It was?” she asked with confusion and tried to move away, but he held her still.
“Shush, I only meant it was a mistake on my part to indulge with a promise of only one taste when I want so much more.”
His mouth covered hers again, taking her under his spell and she didn’t want to stop either, but they couldn’t continue to kiss or snog as he called it right here in the pub... not when she felt herself losing control. She moved her mouth to the side and inhaled deeply as she rested her cheek against his and murmured, “It’s getting late and I should go.”
*******************************************************************************
Hmm... She should go? What do you think? Shouldn't she stay? lol
Like always thanks so much for stopping by. I would love to know what you thought of the snippet.
If you're interested here's a blurb for Magic of the Loch:
Michaela Grant travels to Scotland for a holiday, knowing this vacation is her last. A medical condition threatens her life and any chance of a future—until she meets Alan MacLachlin, a man forced to exist between two worlds.
Alan is the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Once every fifty years he returns to human form in search of his soul mate, the one woman who can break his curse. He believes he has found forever with Michaela, but to claim it he must figure out how to save her life.
Michaela and Alan vow to take what time has to offer, but another threat looms. A sinister shape shifter with a vendetta against Alan is making Loch Ness his personal hunting ground. Now he's threatening Michaela. Alan must discover who the shifter is and stop him before it's too late.

Wonderful excerpt! I’m falling a little in love with that fellow myself. Looking forward to reading more. Should she go? Should she stay? Well…I’ll opt for going. I want to see him follow!
Christina,
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the snippet. Yep, I vote for Alan to follow, too. 🙂
Nice 8!
I guess it was just a matter of time before someone posted this, so I might as well be the one.

Chip,
You totally got it! lol Thanks for posting the link. 🙂
I think I’d stay… or maybe go, but only if he came with me! Great excerpt!
Amy,
Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Oh, I vote to stay. What’s she got to lose? A whole lot more to gain, I’d say. Love the premise of this story!
Jenna,
So glad you’re intrigued. 🙂
She should stay with him, where ever that ends up being. 😉 Love this snippet. It’s sensual and vulnerable. Beautifully done.
S.J.,
Thank you so much. 🙂
A human Loch Ness monster. Very intriguing.
Taryn,
I’m glad you’re intrigued. 🙂
Very nice! I love that his “mistake” is that he wants more. 🙂
Donna,
Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the snippet.
She should go — but only if he goes with her! Great description, very sensual. (He does sound hard to resist!)
P.T.,
Alan is definitely difficult to resist. 🙂
No, she shouldn’t go! Not unless she takes him with her…excellent excerpt.
Veronica,
Yep, she should definitely take him with her. 🙂
Well, the pub is a bit public.
Sue Ann,
I agree. lol
She should definitely stay! If she goes, he should at least come with her.
Carrie-Ann,
As long as they’re together… lol
She probably should go, but it’s so much better if she stays…forever. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
Yes, forever. 🙂
Yum. Just . . . yum. And sigh. 🙂
Sarah,
lol– Love your description of the snippet.
Lovely peek into this special moment for them!
Angela,
Glad you enjoyed the peek. 🙂
Maybe she can go… and he can come with her! 😉
Caitlin,
Maybe… 🙂
Your characters have nice, strong voices. Particularly Alan. Plus, you used the word, ‘snog’, which I adore. Very nice.
Jeff,
So glad you enjoyed the snippet! Snog is a great word, isn’t it? 🙂
Sigh. I think I’m going to have to read this again as I’m enjoying it as much as I did the first time! Got a few butterflies there, reading that excerpt.
Karysa,
Thanks so much! What a lovely compliment. 🙂
She can’t go yet…things are just heating up : ) I have a feeling she won’t be alone though : )
She is not totally under the spell yet. Good girl!
I wonder if he is going to let her go though.
