Six Sentence Sunday
#sixsunday is finding relief from the sound of Alice’s laughter in PASSION AROUSED, my vampire romance.
Maybe he needed to confide in Drew, if only to make sure Council remain protected. If he wasn’t at the top of his game, Bast just couldn’t be effective at doing his job.
Then Alice laughed.
A coiled spring of tension unfurled deep inside Bast, reacting solely to the sound of joy coming from the woman next to him. He released a slow breath, pure habit, letting ease wash over him. The annoying tug still wrapped tight around his center, but knowing that she stood next to him, ready to claim and save him, made it that much more bearable.
