****************************************************************************
In the scene below:
Cassandra Hayes has just found out the vampire she's suppose to kill is Tremayne Graystone, the man she's been dating. They're in the forest behinds his house and she's already shot him once with a crossbow, but Tremayne believes the relationship can still be salvaged. Tremayne is the one speaking.
Now the six...
“I’ve been minding my own business for centuries before such a job—as preternatural hunters—existed. I work, pay my taxes and I don’t go around killing innocents.”
Shrrrthunk!
He looked above his head where the arrow sat lodged into the tree trunk. When had she moved? “That was damn close, Cassandra."
I hope you enjoyed the six! So, do you think Tremayne will be able to sway Cassandra from killing him? I'd love to know your thoughts?

Six Sentence Sunday: Twilight’s Eternal Embrace #7
It's Six Sentence Sunday!
It's been a busy month so far with Wicked Haunt-o-ween at my blog: KMN Books Blogspot.
If you have the chance, please pop in and join in on the fun. Enjoy the interesting posts about Halloween and the paranormal, Flash Fiction, recipes and so much more. Don't forget to enter the mega raffle (Package #1 vampire ring, Twilight's Eternal Embrace and Autumn Moon. Package #2: 9 paranormal Ebooks.

***Now for #SSS: This is the 7th tidbit from Twilight's Eternal Embrace. (vampire/historical/upper YA).
In this scene: Bram kissed Adryanna the first time they met, but it was an unwanted kiss when she did not know him. This time Adryanna looks forward to Bram kissing her. This her take on the joyous event. 
********************************************************************************************************
His hard body pressed to hers was another delight in heightened sensations. Hard muscles fit to her as if the gods had created them to enjoy this moment. Bram wanted her. She could feel him against her, but he made not a move to do more than ravish her lips. Ravish, he did with teeth and tongue. When he allowed her to come up for air, she inhaled deeply and let it out again with a satisfied sigh.
*********************************************************************************************************
I hope you enjoyed the six! I'd love to know your thoughts?
