It's Six Sentence Sunday (SSS), and I'm still posting sentences from my paranormal romance about a vampire struggling to keep a promise to a witch. It's a WIP called 'Gideon' and this is Gideon's POV from somewhere in the middle of the book...
Magic had helped him control his urges for fifty years. But the hinges of the box were loosening. At the crime scene the night before, a female officer guarding the tapeline outside a dead woman’s house had smelled like food. As he walked by, his fangs inched out of their prison. He wanted to bury his teeth in her breast and feel her warm blood thick in the back of his throat. He barely made it out of the house without ripping her apart.Thanks for stopping by and reading. Please comment if you have a moment, it's very much appreciated. But also - click here and check out the other SSS participants. It's a great way to meet new authors and read some great SSS.

ReplyDeleteWow. Totally effing hot and erotic. Course, the visual was just as delicious. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnother great six this week :) I am enjoying getting glimpses of this story, though it is mean of you to tease by jumping around within the book ;)
ReplyDelete...just to let you know, I had to read the third sentence a couple of times. It just felt a little awkward :)
