Hi and welcome to this week's Eight sentences. Today I am bringing you eight from my new release, 'Fevered Kisses' an anthology of lust. I'm going to share from the first story 'Between the Pages' and I'm starting from line one. Enjoy!:
MY EIGHT
Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought about
what Sean had said. It was the usual cliché about living your life because you
only have one, you know the sort of thing. But cliché or not it worked, it was
just enough to make me go through with it otherwise I probably wouldn't have. Everything changed from that point on. I suddenly
started thinking of myself as a sexual being, someone who needed sex as much as
anyone else. Oh, I know I’m attractive, I've seen guys look at me everywhere I
go. But that was them. Somehow I felt
aloof, immune, wrapped in my own life of so called normality.

just too darn hot but could cooling down heat things up further?

Also, what happens when
erotic fantasies occupy too much of your time? Lay back and lose yourself in
the sensual mind of one of England’s most imaginative storytellers. Adults

Your opening lines go so well with your description, "an anthology of lust." Love the title too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's being true to herself. I could sense the feelings of lust and being lost she's experiencing. Nice snippet!
ReplyDeleteInteresting...an awakening of sorts.
ReplyDeleteGreat opening, Gemma! You definitely have me hooked, and I'm anxious to know more about this character, and why Sean's words had such an impact on her.
ReplyDeleteInteresting beginning, with obviously so much more to tell. Loved the snippet, can't wait for the rest :-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic beginning and I can't wait to see where it will go.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she owes Sean a big thank-you! This is a great opening that made me want to read more.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like she was really happy before... so change is good. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd so it starts... Good way to introduce the change in her life. :-) Nicely done, Gemma!
ReplyDeleteSean sounds like a good person to know. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteInteresting turn in her state of mind.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the essence of her metamorphosis. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great read, as always with Gemma. Rush out and buy it!
ReplyDeleteI will let you into a secret; if you buy through the link provided, you can get the book for Kindle, Nook, Kobo and all the others - but Gemma will receive nearly twice as much royalty from XinXii as she gets from miserly companies like Amazon, iTunes, or B&N. So please give generously to this poor, impoverished author...
