Longing....

 October 16, 2013

Welcome to my second post for the Hump Day Hook blog hop!

This is a bog hop for new and established writers to share bits and pieces of their work. It might be a work in progress, a new release, or an old stand-by, but each posting offers a little taste that might spur you to seek out more.

This week I've chosen a paragraph from the third book in my Black Virgin Trilogy. Gift of the Black Virgin sees Joanna travelling to France to begin a new life with her lover. But before they can marry a tragic accident causes Luc to withdraw. This snippet show Joanna longing for his attention.
Of course she'll eventually get it--but until he's ready she suffers...



 Nights were the worst. Laying beside him, and not being able to make love to him, was torture. Silently, they would get into bed, then he would take her gently in his arms, kiss her as if she were a child, and pass out cold. Sleepless with longing and anxiety, all she could do was feel him, revel in the warmth of his big, hard body, no less powerful in sleep. She would bury her face in his chest, or against his back, and breathe him in, relishing the smell of his skin through the T-shirt he insisted on wearing. He left his shorts on too, a sign that she was to respect his privacy. Even his tattoo was covered. The black and white Yin and Yang on his bicep had come to symbolize the perfect union she felt she shared with him--and now it was withheld from her. It was as if his very self was withheld from her.
