Six Sentence Sunday - Walking The Edge: Snippet #24

Hey beautiful people!

It's a bright, sunny Sunday morning here in Mauritius - with nary a cloud in the blue, incredibly blue sky... Okay, I'll stop before you're tempted to throw something at me! :) I'll trade the sweltering 90 degree heat with anyone's cold weather though - there's only so many clothes you can remove in the hot weather, lol.

So, Sunday once again - we blink and the week is gone, innit? I usually wait with bated breath for Six Sentence Sunday to come, when I cannot wait to share another excerpt with you all and then head over to the many amazing blogs taking part, read those snippets into stories that have me hooked. SSS is addictive, both for posting and for reading excerpts.

Today, I'm taking ye all once again to that hotel room in Marseille today, off the coast along Corniche JF Kennedy, on the upscale beaches of the Prado.

Gerard, the hunky cop, gave in to his craving for Amelia, a woman - a killer! - he knows next to nothing about, except that she makes him yearn, like someone he used to love before.
Amelia too knows next to nothing about her past, as she is amnesiac. But there's one certainty in her blank mind, in her beating heart, in every fibre of her body - Gerard will make everything right, like he used to in the past, in this past that she doesn't recall, but in which she knows - just knows - he played an important part.

Last week, they were naked, he had her up against the wall, and she read his body language as if by instinct. He took her, but where is that impulsive act leading now?

Read on to find out.


'...
He needed no further encouragement to meet her rhythm thrust for thrust. She weighed hardly more than a feather, yet her body took him as if she'd been made for him, responding to the fierceness of his taking her with an equally strong drive begging him to give her everything.

She screamed and her nails dug into his shoulder blades. The flash of pain arching through him, right when he heard the echo of her pleasure in her heavy breaths, in the powerful contractions of her body, sent him over the edge. He came with a groan, emptying his seed inside her all while his soul felt it was losing himself in her.

In a way, he had lost himself, because he'd just fucked the enemy. ...'



And, btw, this is the last excerpt of Walking The Edge (Corpus Brides: Book One) that I'll be posting on SSS. I have a new release, Calling Home, coming out on Monday, December 5 - so will be posting snips from that sweet romance as from next week.

Don't forget too - catch the rest of the amazing SSS posse here. There's bound to be great excerpts in there.

Thanks for coming over, for reading, and double thanks if you leave me a comment. :) Your words tide me through the whole week.

Hope you're having a lovely weeekend.

From Mauritius with love,

Zee

  3. Aww, thanks Angela! I hope my characters come across as deep and 3D - I want nothing more than to give the reader her/his due, through a strong storyline and well-sketched characters.

    And yes, nothing like sleeping with the enemy to heighten the stakes. :) XOXO

  10. Oh, looks like he has a problem! Great writing.

  11. Oh, that was hot - and even more so by her being the enemy. Nothing like a little forbidden action!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Lol Siobhan - he's between a rock and a hard place indeed. :)

  13. Thanks Sue. Let's just say the world shifts under their feet when they each find out the real truth behind her past.

    I'd love to help, any way I can! Thanks for thinking I write sex scenes well - I try to make them sensual and layered, and I hope this conveys to my reader. Hit me an email - I'll definitely help you :) xoxo

  14. Thanks Christine! Love that last line too, lol

  15. Danger indeed, Krystal. Amelia is a complication he should've steered clear of :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Lol Taryn - the poor guy is beating himself over his impulsive action :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Lol Jessica - this is only the start of his problems *evil laugh*

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lol Sarah - definitely! A little forbidden action and everything takes a new dimension :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, what's done is done. *BG* She's "done" too, so they are temporarily anyway in the same place. Great six!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Very steamy. Love the last line. Great six!

  21. Wonderful, Zee--but I want more!! Actually, you probably should have begun posting snips of the new release a couple of weeks ago, would have built nice anticipation for it and probably would have resulted in more sales at the outset... But I'm glad you didn't :D I LOVE this story, and I'm glad we got to find out that they do get together--if only briefly here. Thanks! And thanks for the comment on my SSS--much appreciated, as always :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh yes! I love where this story is going, Zee. I want more, more, more!! Sensational six!

    ReplyDelete
  23. That last line is AWESOME *sing-song voice* :) Hot six. I wonder how he's gonna feel now...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love it! The more I read of this one, the more I need to read all of this one.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Man, he felt two very intense emotions at the same time. That had to have been a rollercoaster! I loved the steep decline. Total bliss to totally f#$%ed.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Very hot! Thanks for sharing. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh my ... *fanning self* ... that's HOT!! Wish I could trade places with her. :) Great six, Zee!

    ReplyDelete
  28. You really know how to heat up the page. Great scene. Great six!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yup, Gem - what's done is done. And now to afce the consequences... for both of them :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hmmm Guilie... more... Let's just say that if there's big popular demand, I'll bring these two to SSS again. :)

    I actually thought of posting snips of the new release, but I was first waiting for the cover and then the final edits, by which time we got to now, and I was in the middle of this scene of WtE. Dilemma, dilemma.

    But yup - Gerard and Amelia do get together, and this is only the first of many encounters that will enmesh them more intricately together as secrets spiral out of their control. :)

    XOXO

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks Sandra! Like I told Guilie, if there's more demand for Gerard and Amelia, I'll bring them back :) xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks Mirriam. LOL, he's between a rock and a hard place all right :) Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  33. That's right, Jalisa! A rollercoaster ride of extremes, and poor Gerard, this is only the start of his Amelia-related troubles :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lol Stephanie! I wish I were in her place too - Gerard is seriously hot, and I shaped him physically after an actor I've had a crush on for more than a decade (Thomas Kretschmann). Glad you liked it! xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  35. Lol Cherie! Thanks for the nice words - I try my best to, uh, entertain... *big grin* Hugs!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Love the idea of sleeping with the enemy. x

    ReplyDelete
  37. That last line is very powerful!

    ReplyDelete
