He shook his head slowly, disapproval written all over his face. “You’ve got a lot of nerve. Here you are, tied up with my rope, in my territory, and you’re mouthing off?”
“Nerve, I have an abundance of. What I don’t have is my weapons.”

Teaser Tuesday


This is a little teaser from Destiny Bewitched (out in a month!!!!). Only a few pages into the book, Geo and Samantha get to know each other.

“Where’s my sword?” she asked.

“Hidden, but secure.”

Forcing her voice to be strong though she trembled inside, she demanded, “Give it to me.”

The demon gave her a curious look – as if he was surprised by her courage. Job well done if she’d fooled him.

“So you can stick me with it like you did the werewolves? No thank you.”

She huffed though he had a point. “Why did you save me from them?”

“I just so happen to need a witch.”

Her gaze rested on the cauldron over the fire. “Am I the last ingredient for your demon stew?” Though her tone was sarcastic, her stomach churned at the thought.

He merely looked her over and answered, in a casual tone, “You would make terrible stew meat.”


JUNE 22nd! Get it ingrained in your mind! Destiny Bewitched will be available for purchase on all e-readers!

She struggled beneath him, her cheeks flushed and chest heaving. Several necklaces – silver chains with various charms and a piece of leather tied around a feather – drew his gaze to her pale, slender neck. A neck he could sink his teeth into. He liked the look of her underneath him far too much. Two hundred years without a woman…why couldn’t Ares just have had him flogged?

“Let me up,” she yelled. “You’re squishing me.”

Reluctantly, he did. “You’d be more than squished had I been someone else. Your stance is too narrow. That’s why you fell over so easily.”

She scowled at him and straightened her clothing. “Don’t tell me how to fight.”

“Then stay behind me and I’ll do it for you.”

“Never.”

“Stubborn.”

“Bossy.”

Gods, she was a saucy thing. Repressing a smile, he picked her sword up off the ground. “Spitfire and ambition will only get you so far, Samantha.” He held out her sword. “Knowledge and patience are the foundation for success.”

“My sister doesn’t have time for me to be patient.” She started to put the sword back into its sheath.

“No.” He grabbed her wrist and, under her icy glare, he positioned her sword arm out in front of her. “Widen your stance.”

She tossed him a dirty look but did as he said.

He walked a circle around her. “Good. Now scan.”

She looked left then right. “Clear.” She took a step forward but he grabbed the back of her shirt and tugged her against his chest.

“Never forget the sky,” he rasped against her ear.

Her breath quickened and he could hear her heart pound wildly. She looked up then whispered, “Clear.”

“Good. I can’t use a dead witch so try to keep yourself alive, yes?”

“I suppose I can try."

Why Women Hate Me for Being Talented

*originally posted on Nights of Passion*

Inspired  by the brave woman who wrote this article a few weeks ago (Why Women Hate Me for Being Beautiful), I’ve decided to come out of the closet and speak out about my own suffering. So here it is. Why it’s so hard to be talented.

When I was six years old and first used my talent, my grandmother told me, “you’re so talented.” Ever since then, people have gone out of their way to do things for me.  Waiters are always bringing me complimentary water at restaurants. People return things to me I have dropped or say “excuse me” when bumping into me. You might be thinking that’s a wonderful surprise. But it’s not. Not for me. It’s not a surprise, I mean. It’s wonderful, sort of, but the wonder isn’t because of the surprise because it’s not a surprise at all. Let me clear that up. Yes, wonderful. No, surprise.

Anyway, I don’t even bother to ask why they do these enormous favors for a stranger – a woman they don’t know, which is what a stranger is. I already know why. It’s because of my talent.

You may be judging me as you’re reading this, making your own determination about my talent. But I’m not arrogant or superior – I’m just better than you.

But as great as I am, I’ve also lost many friends because of it. They’re jealous because, while their talent has gotten old and flabby, mine has stayed young and taut.

Doors have been slammed in my face. Literally. Usually by mothers of small children. They whisper “delusional” behind my back. The mothers, not the children. The children say silly, nonsensical things like “get a life loser” and “I hope you drown in a pool of your own vomit.” Poor kids. They’ll never be as talented as me.

I asked a lady on the bus if I committed some crime that made people hate me. She said “they hate you because you’re a stuck-up bitch.” I smiled and nodded cause she’s just a lady on the bus and doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Then when she turned around, I spit in her coffee.

I don’t work or else I’d have more examples of how hard it is to be talented.

Men never ask me on dates because they think “how can I ever keep up with her talent?” They even go out of their way to ignore me so their wives and girlfriends don’t get jealous.

I was following my best friend around the mall one day and she started giving me dirty looks. Later, I realized her talent had been one of those that got droopy parts and those little creases around the eyes everybody calls laugh lines because they don’t want to come right out and say wrinkles. Before that, she would barely tolerate me, now she was downright rude. Do you see what I mean? Do I have to water down my talent to be like everyone else? Is that what it will take to have friends?

One time I was at a wedding and someone noticed my talent and, in a fit of jealousy, said, “who are you? You weren’t invited to this wedding.” I burst into tears and ran into the bridal suite where some men in blue uniforms came to console me. They were even kind enough to escort me off the property. Another example of strangers treating me better because of my talent.

I’m probably one of the only people who’s looking forward to the decline of my sanity. Then maybe people will stop judging me on my talent and look at who I am instead. Which is, and will always be, better than you.

Six Sentence Sunday

Another six from Destiny Bewitched - releasing June 22nd! Geo and Samantha just had a harrowing experience fighting for their lives in a gladiator ring for supernaturals.

Geo, his chest heaving, finally looked at her. His eyes burned with savagery. Straightening his shoulders, he lifted his sword from the ground, wiped it on his pants, and stalked toward her.
His muscles bulged and twitched, likely still high on adrenaline. He shook his matted hair from his face. His gaze raked down her body, a fierce gleam starting in his eyes, then moved back up, growing hungrier.

Can you guess what he does next? *wink wink*

Top 10 Sexy Movie Heroes (with pictures!)


I’m in a generous mood today so I’m posting my list of sexiest movie heroes, complete with photos for you to drool over.


10. Daniel Craig in Cowboys and Aliens



 
Who can resist a man saving humanity wearing chaps and a cowboy hat?




9. James McAvoy in Wanted



 
A pretty face and charming smile but can still kick ass with the best of them.




8. Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates




Maybe not your traditional sexy hero but, come on, he spends his life with a woman who wakes up every day with no memory.




7. Wesley Snipes in Blade




Who says vampires have to be pasty white? Wearing sunglasses and black leather with an I-don’t-give-a-fuck attitude, Blade is how I prefer my vampires.




6. Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones


 Harrison Ford wielding a whip and saving women from pits of vipers? Classic.




5. Hugh Jackman in X-men




 He may be a smidge hairy but he can dig his paws (not claws) into me anytime.




4. Brad Pitt in Fight Club




Yeah, maybe he plays the immoral half of Edward Norton’s character, and maybe he spends most of the movie with black eyes and bloody, but just look at those abs!


 
3. Viggo Mortenson in Lord of the Rings



 
Soft-spoken Aragorn has a warm heart but can still kick orc ass on the battlefield.




2. Bruce Lee in anything




I don’t know what to say other than, he is the definition of bad-ass



1. Russell Crowe in Gladiator





All he wants is to go home. To his son and his wife. *wipes tears* Just let the man go home!


Honorable mentions:  Vin Deisel as Riddick, Ryan Gosling in The Notebook, Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, Jason Momoa in Conan, and Antonio Banderas in Zorro.

So that’s my list. I know you have opinions about this so, go on, share yours. Sexiest movie heroes. Go!

***I wanna do another top 10 list in the future. What should be next? List suggestions in the comments.
