Hi and welcome to this week's taster. Each week a group of authors, including myself, will share with you a sample from one of our stories. last week I was sharing an excerpt from 'Between The Pages' a story from my anthology 'Fevered Kisses'. I'm continuing from where I left off, enjoy!:
Thankfully it wasn’t raining but as I looked towards the
entrance my heart lurched at the queues for tickets. Standing on the steps to
the entrance, set a little apart from the other people, was a tall, seriously
handsome man in a casual white short sleeved shirt and black trousers. I knew
it was him. There was something very professional yet relaxed about the way he
stood. He was clearly waiting for someone, me.
I stared at him, scanning him up and down from a comfortable distance. Finally
I approached and my scalp tingled as my heart beat a little faster at the sight
of him. I panicked, he was so good looking, I suppose you would have to be in
his line of work, but even so. I froze just a few feet away, I couldn’t do this. I was about to turn
and walk quickly away when he noticed me. I stood rooted to the spot as he
walked towards me flashing a smile of perfect teeth.
“Hi,” he said reaching for my hand, “I’m Steven, are you
Alice?”
Yes, I know it’s not my real name but I wasn’t going to
take any chances.
I nodded meekly.
“Do you want to go into the cinema or did you have
something else in mind?” he asked gesturing towards the small crowd of people.
I stood silently for a moment, the reality of what I was
doing faded away as I looked into his face. The dark intensity of his brown
eyes bore through me. His sleek black hair and the hint of playfulness playing
around his full lips pulled at my core. I wanted him, I wanted this. Now if I could only get my mouth
to open…
“The cinema would be great.” I managed.
We chose a queue and joined it. The street was alive with
taxis and buses, it was almost rush hour and the local offices would soon be
closing. Not that it made any difference, London was buzzing all day every day.
I was beginning to think I should have suggested somewhere quieter or paid for
Steven to travel to me when we reached the booth. I chose the least popular
film from the many on offer, a romantic comedy on its way down the charts and
of little appeal at 4.30pm. We made our way inside past the queues for popcorn
and drinks. Steven led me to the very back to sit on a row that was completely
deserted. Of course he did, this was not his first time. I waited anxiously for
other movie goers to take their seats and was relieved to find no-one sat in
the few rows in front of us. In contrast to the throng of people outside our
small, dark theatre was sparse.
I fidgeted in my seat as I glanced nervously around. When I
looked across to Steven he was smiling.
“Do you want me to take control?” he whispered clearly
sensing my acute apprehension.

Ohhhh, yummy and the fevered kisses begin...in the back row. Who among us has not started off a hot and saucy relationship in the back row of a darkened theater? Oh, brings back memories of the very first time I was kissed as a teen. He took control, too. Loved it, Gemma. <3 xo
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she's going to get more than she bargained for.
ReplyDeleteExcellent taster. I'd love to know how he intends to control her
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what has she got herself into? I really hope you continue with this next time. X
ReplyDeleteIt's good that he knows what he is doing because she seems so totally clueless.
ReplyDeleteAh, you cannot leave me there. The suspense is building. I believe she will choose him to take the lead. Great buildup for an exciting scene.
