“Go ahead spin your tale… Gryphon.” The Gryphon and His Thief #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Today's my Birthday and I'll be out most of the day, but I'll be sure to visit everyone's blog when I return!
If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link.
Set up: Calli asked why he hadn't killed her if he was indeed a Gryphon shifter. He told her it was because of who she was to him.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. 
***********************************************************
"I do not wish to harm you and on my honor, I promise, you shall be safe this night." He could not in truth promise her more.
Her safety depended on her relinquishing the stone, but he had a hunch, his little thief wouldn't be forthcoming in handing it over. He had already searched her person and had rummaged through her vehicle, but had not found the cursed item. She'd somehow managed to hide it somewhere between the museum and here, and he meant to find out where.
She placed the phone beside her on the nightstand, without taking her gaze off his and said, "Go on, spin your tale… Gryphon."
Where did one begin such a tale when she looked upon him as if lies flew from his tongue and naught else? To convince her otherwise would prove a challenge at best.

Should be some story. lol
Thanks for stopping by! Love to know what you thought of the snippet. Until next week, take care.

Some Treasures are Priceless…
A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.
Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate's Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.
As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.
