It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 1st tidbit from my WIP, Twilight's Eternal Embrace. It has been contracted with Rebecca J. Vickery Publishing and is in edits.
In this scene:
Adryanna loaths the arrangement her people have with the Oiche Sith. They are stronger, swifter and ruthless if provoked. They keep the lands safe from invasions. They ask for only one favor in return. When the Oiche Sith turned five and twenty, they need blood to fully transform to the warrior stage of their existence. One of the Lathe Sith is sacrificed—so the Oiche Sith can live. Adryanna has just lost her sister to this ritual.
Adryanna (Lathe Sith/human) and Bram (Oiche Sith/vampire) meet for the first time. Bram has just saved her from being attacked by a few men from his clan. Though Adryanna would have given them a good fight.
Here's the Six:
******************************************************************************
There was no mistaking the hungry sensual growl in the back of his throat as he pressed his lips to hers. He didn’t ravage, but took his time, savoring, tasting…seducing. She groaned beneath his tender assault before her brain registered what she was doing. Fear mixed with passion made her heart thump wildly in her chest. She pushed at his chest, but he held her tight. She had to stop this before it was too late, before she didn’t care her enemy kissed her.
I hope you enjoyed the Six! What did you think? Is is too late for her? I love to hear comments. 🙂

I like the setup of the story with the protection agreement the clans have. Very interesting! Will be fun to see where this story goes, and congrats on the contract.
I’m so glad the snippet intrigued you. Thanks for the congrats, too. 🙂
Loved the six and the indecision the heroine has when she’s kissed the ‘enemy’. I can’t wait for more.
Thanks, Cathy. I’m so glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Sometimes our hearts don’t pay attention to reason. lol
What a fantastic six! I love attraction when it’s interwoven with doubt. Congrats on the contract. This definitely sounds like another winner!
Forbidden love– Gotta love it!
Thanks Mae. I’m so glad you love the snippet. 🙂
Oooh very nicely sensual 🙂
Sandra,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the sneak peek. 🙂
Fascinating premise.
Hello Sue,
I’m glad you’re intrigued. Thanks so much for popping in.
Wow, what a situation to be in….so totally attracted to your enemy. Great six!!!
Hi Christine,
Will the attraction be enough to overcome her hatred? Hmm…
Thanks so much for coming by.
Love the world-building in this one, Karen, and the premise. Sworn enemies (on her part) but ally (on his) can make for some lovely tension. I have one suggestion, though your editor may pick up on it. In this line:
Fear mixed with passion made her heart thump wildly in her chest.
The “in her chest” is superfluous. First, where else is her heart going to thump? And second, you repeat the word “chest” in the next line when she pushes against his. For the record? I do this ALL the time! LOL I’m slowly beginning to pick up on it in my own writing. Wonderful snippet either way!
Silver,
I’m glad you liked the snippet and suggestions are always welcomed. 🙂
Oh! And congrats on the sale. 😀
Thanks. 🙂
I was hooked with “hungry sensual growl.” This is bitingly delicious!! Congrats on the book contract.
Thanks, Carrie. 🙂 I glad you enjoyed the snippet.
