Today’s Sunday Snippet is again from a book I haven’t released yet.

This time, the super special snippet is for another lovely lady, Katrina Whittaker, because she also asked very nicely for a slice of Snow, and it’s her birthday soon (okay, it’s a month away, but she deserves a nice shiny pressie right now!), and I’m all about sharing (should that be read teasing?).

Note, again the offered snippet is first draft material, excuse any errors or crap writing. This snippet follows on from yesterday’s snippet… you can read that here.

I have absolutely no qualms about sharing this snippet of Snow, but again it’s going to come with a warning, which I’ve written below – it’s a bit different this time. This scene is from Seduce, the third book in my new Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series, and it will be out on June 23rd.

WARNING: The following scene may cause pangs of distress, a deep need to cuddle a blood-crazed vampire and tell him you’ll make it all better, sorrow, heartache, and also restlessness, and irritation. By reading it, you release me of all responsibility for any anger and impatience that may occur due to the book not being released for another four months.

“The restraints?”

Sera cringed at the volume of those two words. Here she was trying to keep things subtle and Snow was shouting it at the top of his lungs.

“You want to tie my brother up?” He chuckled. “You are a dark little thing.”

Her blush deepened. It wasn’t what he thought it was but she didn’t correct him. He lumbered across his room, leaving another trail of wet footprints on the wooden floor. He had the same taste in decor as Antoine. Black, black and more black. His bed was something straight out of a torture chamber though. The mattress looked comfortable enough, covered in black silk sheets and fluffed up pillows. The bed itself though. She had never seen anything like it.

Metal posts as thick as Snow’s arms supported the four corners. The top and bottom of each post ended in wide square steel plates that were bolted to the ceiling and floor. On each bedpost, there was a length of inch thick steel chain with an equally as thick cuff attached to the end. The leather lining the inside of the cuffs was cracked and stained dark with blood. The bed looked as though it should have been strong enough to contain the most feral of creatures, but the posts were bent in places, dented and showing signs of wear.

“Seen enough?” Snow said and she jumped.

“I didn’t mean to stare.”

He shrugged casually but there was shame in his eyes. “I have my good nights and my bad nights.”

So she had heard. She glanced at the bed again, feeling sorry for him. He had to chain himself to a bed, cage himself, whenever he had a bad night. Something told her the restraints were used more often than that. Did he sleep in them? Chained and defenceless, open to attack? One of the first things she had learned on becoming a vampire was how to protect herself by finding a secure place to sleep. While the general human population didn’t know about vampires and other creatures that roamed their world with them, there were hunters out there who were constantly on the lookout for her kind.

“Snow,” she said and he handed the restraints to her.

“Do not pity me,” he snarled and closed the door in her face.

“He is right, Sera. It is his choice. I have always maintained that. Do not make him feel wretched for the choices he makes. He desires to protect others, those he cares about, and that is a noble thing.”

Sera nodded and turned away from Snow’s door, coming to face Antoine where he leaned against his doorframe, wearing only his black boxer shorts.

I hope you enjoyed this Sunday Snippet!

Today’s Saturday Snippet is from a book I haven’t released yet. It’s a super special snippet for a lovely lady, Talina Perkins, because she asked very nicely for a slice of Snow and I’m all about sharing (should that be read teasing?). Note, the offered snippet is first draft material, excuse any errors or crap writing.

I have absolutely no qualms about sharing this snippet of Snow, but it should come with a warning, which I’ve written below. This scene is from Seduce, the third book in my new Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series, and it will be out on June 23rd.

WARNING: The following scene may causes dizziness, palpitations, fainting, hot flushes, prickly skin, dry mouth and / or throat, intense pangs of desire, restlessness, and irritation. By reading it, you release me of all responsibility for any anger and impatience that may occur due to the book not being released for another four months.

Sera crossed the black and gold hallway to Antoine’s brother’s door and knocked. While Snow had a habit of just walking in unannounced, she would rather not. Antoine had been angry enough when he had found her touching her brother in a gesture as innocent as a handshake. She didn’t want to think about the scale of the fight that would erupt should she walk in on Snow when he was nude.

The door opened.

Snow raised an eyebrow at her.

She mirrored him.

It was a good thing she had knocked. The darkly beautiful man was wearing nothing more than the world’s smallest towel around his hips and was dripping water all over his apartment floor.

“Can I borrow something?” she said and her heart flipped in her chest.

“Depends on what it is.” He went to take a step back and then stopped. “I do not think it wise that you enter my room. My brother has claimed you as his female. I do not enjoy Javier’s dark moods whenever Lilah enters my room without his consent. I have no desire to inflict such pain upon my brother. State what you desire and I will consider it.”

Was Snow saying that he thought his brother was attached to her? She had figured Antoine’s outburst was just a momentary glitch brought about by his sleepy state.

She didn’t dare hope that he was right. She had tried to keep her relationship with Antoine as physical as possible and not emotional, but the more time she spent with him, both intimately and afterwards when they would talk about his life and hers, the more she fell for him.

Her desire to make him see that they could be together was the reason she was here now, about to ask Snow for something that would likely embarrass him and Antoine as much as it did her.

“Those,” she said and pointed, already blushing deeply and unable to say the words aloud.

Snow followed her finger, looking over his wide bare wet shoulders. His head snapped back around, white hair whipping with the force of the action, spraying droplets over her.

“The restraints?”

She cringed at the volume of those two words. Here she was trying to keep things subtle and he was shouting it at the top of his lungs.

“You want to tie my brother up?” He chuckled. “You are a dark little thing.”

I hope you enjoyed this Saturday Snippet!
