No-Kiss Blogfest! Let the UST rule!

For those of you who read my contribution to the Kiss fest in December, this is a piece that takes place a bit earlier in the story-- I might as well admit that cutting these scenes was so horribly agonizing that I had to go ahead and start putting together a sequel at once. They were too good to give up entirely.

Go on to Frankie's blog to surf through the rest of the contributions for the No-kiss fest!

There's some background already in the scene--Eve (the woman through whom we are witnessing this event) is married to Garrit DeLeon.

  1. And then Sarah swooned, because Lars decided he liked her best of all...

  2. Hahaha!
    do you have room for him in your new house? Because he takes up a lot of space--he's been crowding out my apartment for months... Just be careful what you wish for ;)

  3. Ohlala! I love that last bit!

    I want to participate in the No-Kiss Fest, but I don't think I have any non-kiss scenes. I thought I did, but I deleted them ages ago.

    Sigh.

  5. Nice line about the horses having complex lineage--it tells a lot about Garrit. And the scene with Lars is so intense. I'm very intrigued with the overlapping layers of this story.

  12. There is plenty of room for Lars to come and live with me. You can help him pack up his bags, so he comes faster.

  28. Loved this scene! Especially the line "The way Thorin had looked at her. It was as though she was water and he had crossed a desert to find her." Just wow, it's one of those scenes you remember. Great Job!
