Weekend Writing Warriors-Danger by Dalliance Snippet 8
Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors. Each Sunday we share 8 sentences from a current or finished manuscript. Click here for the rest of the amazing writers participating.
I am continuing to share snippets from Danger by Dalliance, a historical erotic menage with steampunk elements. This comes immediately after last week’s snippet. Archer just informed Sarah that she would pose nude for his artist friend Warren. In exchange for that he would pay her father’s royalties early. He is pushing her to share the true reason for needing the money. You’re about to find out how successful he is! I have used some creative punctuation to give you the whole passage;)
“She jerked back and straightened, “What?”
Here we are; now she would have to tell him why she really needed the money and he could assist her with whatever her problem was.
She turned sheet white; panic glimmered in her eyes before she looked down and tugged on her cuffs.
Archer felt a little nauseated; it had not been his intention to scare her; he sat back down and waited for her surrender.
“All right.”
He struggled to control his expression, “Excuse me?”
Miss Rigdon looked back up, a mulish tilt to her chin, “I said all right.”
What the fuck am I supposed to do now? Talk about a plan rebounding.”
BEA was a lot of fun, but exhausting. The banana pudding was heavenly. If you like pudding and are heading to New York let me know. I will share the secret;). When I got home work exploded in my face, pretty much keeping me away from my computer for the whole week. Fingers crossed things will get a little bit better next week.
Have an amazing week and as always Happy Writing!
