This scene: Bram is intrigued by the human woman who dared to confront him, stab him, and then let him kiss her… Now for the snippet…

***********************************************************************

Scene from Chapter Two

“She stabbed me.” Bram stared at his forearm in disbelief. It wasn’t a deep wound, but it had drawn blood. The offense should have angered him, but instead her response to his kiss intrigued him.

He looked toward the path the female Lathe Sith had taken in flight. She’d ventured into his village armed with a dagger. He wanted to know why. He would have asked her, but he lost himself in her arms before the words could leave his lips.

His acute hearing picked up her footfalls, frantic in their attempt to escape. He took off after her, but kept a safe distance between them so not to frighten her further. He knew she enjoyed his touch. Her heart had sped up and her fresh scent of wild flowers and sunshine had changed, becoming more potent as she became aroused, but then something spooked her. He could leave it as an untried youth, but his own reaction plagued him. Never had he felt such an attraction. Then again, his clan had very few women available and he could not gauge his reaction as odd or not. The elders warned them they were not to mingle with the females of the Lathe Sith clan. It was forbidden until the blooding ritual. The elders from both clans would choose the female for the next warrior in line for the ritual. His time would be next year.

The Lathe Sith’s bodies were fragile compared to them, but their blood was compelling, a life source they needed to complete the change to manhood. His kind could live centuries, but the clan itself was a dying breed. The Oiche Sith women were barren. The Lathe Sith females they took to their beds, weakened before the seed could be planted.

The female he followed into the woods slowed her pace as she broke through the trees. Her village lay before her. He had no doubt she felt safe. Little did she know, if he so chose, her safety could be plucked away from her in a matter of seconds. He could move like the wind. It was tempting to teach her a lesson, that she could not outrun an Oiche Sith, but the thought of frightening her did not sit well with him.

He stood within the shadows of the trees, content to watch her. She was lovely even in the clothes she donned for her adventure—trousers and a shirt too big for her frame. Her boots were made of fur and her vest matched. She was a hunter.

The Lathe Sith turned toward him, her soft features catching the light from the moon. He knew she couldn’t see him. Her kind could not see in the dark as well as his clan could, but he was sure she sensed his presence. Her gaze sought his as her hand touched her lips. She was remembering their kiss. He was sure of it. Her pupils dilated and her breath caught in her throat.

His lips curved at the thought of that shared kiss.
