Love among the Roman ruins

October 26, 2013.

Welcome to my posting for My Sexy Saturday for Week #22. This is a blog hop where writers share either 7 words, 7 sentences, or 7 paragraphs from one of their works. It's open to published and unpublished authors, and the excerpt can be from a published story or a work in progress.

This week I want to share a snippet (about 7 sentences) from my soon-to-be-released erotic romance, the first in the Tracking Tor Trilogy. It's called Mirage, and takes place in Syria. In this scene, Tor and Julie come together for the first time under the stars in a deserted Roman theatre in the ruined desert city of Palmyra. Their verbal game excites them both, and this is the moment Julie begins to fall in love.

Here's the excerpt:

"And now," Tor said as he slowly began to raise and lower her body onto his, "just think how many couples have sneaked into this place to do exactly what we're doing right now. A thousand years, or more, of clandestine fucking. Under the stars. Queens, concubines, emperors, slaves."

  "Bakers, lawyers. Murderers. Thieves," Julie said just before she thrust her tongue into his mouth. She rolled her hips and snaked her fingers through his hair. Grabbing fistfuls, she whispered near his ear. "Oh Tor. I think you're going to do it to me again."
