Rainbow Snippet February 6-7

2/6/2016

14 Comments

 
It's time for Rainbow Snippets again! And it's the first snippet of February. This week's snippet comes from The Artist's Masquerade again. In this scene, we're in Cathal's point of view. Flavian is still disguised as a woman, and Cathal doesn't know the truth about him yet - he knows Flavian as Flavia, companion to the woman Cathal is meant to marry in an arranged marriage. And, well, things are about to get complicated...
​
Picture

Her eyes widened, awareness flooding them. And desire too, the same desire he felt for her reflected back to him, and something snapped inside him. Flavia wanted him, and he couldn’t in that moment, with her standing there staring at him with wide eyes, her breath coming more and more quickly, find a reason to stop himself.

“Lord Cathal, what are you doing?”

He took her arms and crowded her back into the room, kicking the door closed behind them and spinning to put her back to the door. Then he leaned into her and finally brought his lips down over hers.

​And knew immediately that he was in trouble, because he wasn’t going to want to stop kissing her. 



Head over to the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook to read the rest of this week's snippets from some great authors. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Complicated indeed. You say so much here, in so few words. How beautiful
