excerpt. Enjoy!
Dragon Knight’s Shield
Excerpt:
His look was predatory,
lustful, inviting, and she took a step backward. Words failed her as she took
another step back.
He arched a brow and his
smile became seductive. “Do I frighten ye?”
“No!” she lied. Like hell you do! You’re as gorgeous as sin
standing there, and I want to rip your clothes from your body
.
Pushing off from the
wall, he stepped into the room and silently closed the door behind him, his
eyes never leaving hers. His hair hung in soft waves past his shoulders, and
her fingers itched to twine within them. Her body ached in places so
deep—longing for even the slightest touch. 
“Are ye unwell, my
lady?”
The burr of his voice so
low—so sexy, she could only stare at him until his words resonated in her mind.
“No,” she replied softly, feeling the flames of desire heat not only her face,
but also her entire body.
This time when he took
another step closer, Deirdre didn’t back away. Now he stood so close she could
feel the warmth of his breath across her face—a mix of wine and pure male.
She watched mesmerized
as he reached for a lock of her hair, twining it around his finger. “So verra
soft.”
Deirdre couldn’t
breathe, as he let the curl unravel and cupped her face in his hands. “Ye
confuse me. Ye torment me in my dreams,” he whispered against her cheek,
sending a wave of pleasure down her spine.
Without thought, she
groaned and leaned into him—his beard grazing her cheek. She no longer battled
her mind for the man. “Kiss me, Angus.”
This time he groaned, capturing her
mouth with savage intensity and drawing the breath from her lungs. His tongue
plundered deep, and Deirdre opened fully to the fiery possession.
