Step back or else…The Gryphon and His Thief #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link.
Set up for this week: This takes place a few paragraphs later than last weeks snippet. Calli has just told Darrien that even if she believed his story about reincarnation that was the past and this is the here and now and she has a good life. She doesn't want to consider another possibility.

She pushed away from the nightstand and strode to the door. She opened it and turned toward him expectantly and said, "This is your cue to go."
She thought to dismiss him this readily? He flitted like the wind to her, slamming the door shut, and backing her up against it. His gaze met her eyes that flashed with a mix of excitement and fear. "We are not finished," he said as he stepped closer to her, making it difficult for her to move around him.
"Step away," she warned with her hand to his chest, but she didn't push him away.
The heaven above, she was all soft curves and…she had a lethal left hook.

Hmm... Did she react in such a fashion because he stepped into her personal space or could it be she felt something too? Find out next week...
Thanks for stopping by!
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.
