Ahem...
Welcome back to Erotic Tales by Tawny Savage. This week I've joined a great group of authors to share six paragraphs from one of our works in progress or previously published works. This week, I'm sharing another part of Brigid's Blessing (The Bigfoot Chronicles 1). I thought it would be a great idea to continue to tease you with snippets from this and the second book until the last one comes out later this summer.
The last six paragraphs I shared with everyone here was from a scene toward the beginning of the book. This time, I thought it would be fun to share the six OPENING paragraphs to set the mood for the entire story. To refresh your memory a bit, here's the blurb...
Bryanna Stevens was slowly dying inside. The safe and consensual sexual relationship with her husband Travis had slowly deteriorated into one filled with torment and abuse. With nowhere to turn, she pleaded her case to the Goddess Brigid. She offered herself up to the gods to do as they see fit if they’d grant her one wish—to conceive a child of her own.
Hell bent on avenging mutilation and death of his pregnant mate, Ashar risks everything to make the humans pay. Instead, he’s blindsided by his desire for the naked beauty stretched out over an altar, pleading for the gods to give her a child. Before he can stop himself, he’s kneeling beside her. Could she be the one to save the Forest People and mend his broken heart or the one to destroy them all?
April 15th,
Present Day, McCloud, California
“Bryanna! Get your ass out here,
honey. You’re gonna miss the toast.” Travis Stevens loved to throw parties for
his buddies and their wives. It didn’t matter the occasion, just as long as he
could put out a big spread and ply them all with booze. He spared no expense.
Nothing was too good for his friends and tonight he outdid himself—thanks to
her.
I’d be out there a bit faster if
you’d get off your ass and help. “I’ll be right there.” She grabbed
the rest of the champagne glasses from the cupboard and placed them on the
serving tray. Bryanna took a deep, cleansing breath, held it for a few seconds,
and then slowly exhaled. Not only did she spend the entire night running around
serving their guests, Travis expected her to be a mind reader as well. If he
would’ve told her he wanted to serve champagne, she would’ve had the glasses
ready to go. Now here she was rushing around the kitchen again while he barked
at her to hurry up.
Travis smiled broadly as she entered
the room, but his eyes betrayed his annoyance with her. To keep up the
appearance of the happy host, he rushed forward to take the tray from her.
“There you are. Let me help you with those.” He clenched his teeth together and
hissed so only she could hear him. “Took you long enough. Are you trying to
make me look bad in front of our friends?
She kept her voice low and continued
to smile to hide the fact she wanted to punch him in the face. “They’re your
friends. Not mine. If you’d given me any sort of direction for this shindig, I
could’ve had everything exactly as you wanted it.”
“We’ve been having these same
parties every Tax Day for the last eight years. You should know what I want by
now.”
“What the fuck ever. Just pop the
cork on the bubbly and let’s get this farce over with. I have better things to
do with my time then to wait on your friends hand and foot.”
