Did
you ever wonder what a character from one book might say to another book’s
character—or to you if you sat down to have a chat with them? I gave it a try
recently, and dang, I felt lucky to get out alive!
Harm
glanced at author. “Can we move this along, I have a company to run.”
“Jesus,
man, you have to work for a living?” Ion ran fingers through his dark hair,
making sure the stray curl stayed in place.
Gods,
these guys were beautiful and the power in the room was palpable. “Harm, tell
us a little about yourself.”
“I
run Shepherd’s Watch, a company that provides guard services for the rich and
powerful around the world.”
“I’ve
never heard of you.” Ion pinched the creases of his pants and grinned. “Or your
company.”
“Maybe
you’re not rich or powerful enough.” Harm smiled but it never reached his
golden brown eyes. “What do you do for a living aside from be pretty.”
That
wiped the grin from Ion’s face. “Do you know what I am?”
“Friend,
I’ll tear your throat out before you can even move.” Ion’s eyes filled with
tiny pinpoints of white light. “And save that squirrely eye shit for humans.” A
low growl emanated from Harm’s throat as he leaned forward. “It doesn’t work on
my animal’s dysfunctional brain.”
“Oh,
I haven’t tried anything yet.” Ion stood. “Because I’d have your dog
groveling…”
“Gentlemen,
please!” Author nervously tapped her pen on the tablet.
“Okay
okay, I’ll be nice to the pooch if he’s nice to me.”
Harm
laughed. “That’s rich. Be nice to someone who survives by sucking the souls
from humans.”
“Like
snatching someone’s throat out is a good thing.” Ion returned to his seat and
stretched his long legs. “I guess being able to shift into another form could
come in handy though.”
“It
does.” Harm settled back. “However, appearing naked in the town square has
drawbacks.”
“Shit!
When you change back into human form, you’re butt ass naked?”
Harm
winked, “Gives the ladies something to talk about.”
“I’ll
be damn, you are a dog.”
“I’m
a shepherd, thief, don’t get it twisted.”
“I’m
Essentiant.” Ion shrugged. “And a soul is a terrible thing to waste.”
Both
men laughed and the sound eerily filled the room as they turned to stare at her.
Time
to end this. “Well, now that we know exactly what you both are capable of, thank
you for coming.” Author rose and quickly walked across the room. “I’ve got to
run.” Reaching the restroom, author slammed and locked the door. “Scary ass men.”
Turning, author saw two gorgeous women peering at her as if she were crazed.
“What?”
The
first to speak was short and curvy with blonde hair and blue eyes. “One had
mesmerizing gray eyes that shot little white lights all over the place, right?”
“And
the other one had a controlling as hell attitude and he growled?” This lady had
dark wavy hair, hazel eyes, and she was petite.
“You
saw the bastards too?” Author breathed a sigh of relief at finding someone else
who understood.
Both
women laughed and replied in unison. “You met our husbands.”
Shit!
One
lucky winner will receive a PDF copy of Quench and Controlled-Shepherd’s Watch 4.
Enjoy

Growl and roar-it’s okay to let the beast out.
