Excerpt from LC1: Forgiven
He finally looked at her, met her gaze. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t.” The reassurance was out before her brain caught it as the lie the words might yet prove to be.
Still,
in this one moment, Saxxon was the one to offer rational clarity. “You
can’t know that. I didn’t mean to do what just happened. I can’t be sure
what will happen when...”
His
cut off words sent a shiver of fear down her back. “When what?” What on
earth could be worse than all they already had to face? When they came
for him? When they both turned into monkeys? When she raped him in a
moment of sexual desperation? WHAT?
“When the craving comes.”
“The
craving?” she prompted him. Cravings sounded bad, really bad. The way
he said it implied something terrible and out of control.
“For the Silvertide. I’ve never gone so long without it before.”
Well,
at least it wasn’t cravings for blood or sex. “It’s addictive?”
Actually, cravings for sex didn’t sound so awful. She definitely needed
to get some sleep before any of her silly thoughts slipped past her
lips. This wasn’t a good time to be thinking about sex. Bigger, scarier
things took precedence.
“Yes.”
He walked to the bed and got out a vial and syringe from the pocket of
the jacket. “I want you to use this if you need to.”
“No.” She recognized that huge needle and could guess what was in the vial.
“Do you know how to fill the syringe?”
“Yes, but I won’t use it.” Despite her answer, he set the vial and needle on the bedside table.
“Use it to stay safe. You’ve seen how quickly it works. It’s the only dose I have.”
“I won’t use it. I felt what it did to Dain.” She couldn’t do that to Saxxon.
“Please.” He ran his fingers through his short blond hair in agitation.
“Saxxon...”
He
advanced on her. His lean hands caught her shoulders in a gentle grip.
“Please say you will.” His expression hardened, but his dark eyes
pleaded with her to give in.
“No.” Still she refused while aching to comfort him.
His
fingers caressed her cheek. “I am only asking this, so you’ll have some
defense if you need to save yourself. It won’t kill me. It paralyzes
the body, making it impossible to fight.”
“Saxxon...”
She wouldn’t use it, no matter what happened. But she could stretch the
truth this once to give him peace of mind. “Thank you for giving me an
alternative to stop you if I have to.” Not exactly a lie, anyway.
Question from a reader...
At a recent books signing, Julie asked what I liked best about this series?
I
was thinking a little about it and there would be a whole long list of
all the little things I love about the Lynx Clan. But the Best of the
Best... might be how Caspian and his mate are so very perfect for each
other. While I was in the discovery stage of writing this story,
I honestly wasn't sure how they could possibly make it work. But those
two are quite simply to stubborn to end with anything less than a happy
ever after. A close second is how the ladies keep it all together and
help their boys heal and stand strong... and have hope.
