Excerpt
Too late. One minute I was shifting gears the next I was bolting out of my seat to the sound of a sharp wrap on my window. I turned and looked at the man to my left. My traitorous jaw inexorably unhinged itself. Sheeeez-us.
Hunched down in order to make eye contact with me, in an SUV no less, was one of the most roguishly sexy men I had ever seen – celebrity or otherwise. I think I was holding my breath because I started to feel the black tentacles creep in around my eyes and inhaled in order to keep from fainting. The last thing I needed to do was faint in front of this MAN. I rolled down the window, going against everything my mother ever taught me about approaching strangers. I should have kicked my car in gear and floored it out of there, but something in his expression told me that would be very unwise.
I stared into his eyes, which were a dark gold, and took in the thick curly hair, which appeared to be a jet black in the night sky. I couldn’t quite place his unmatched features – a strong nose, chiseled jaw and cheekbones and a full bottom lip. I’m not even sure I could call him handsome, but there was such an overt sexuality to his features that I felt hot all over. And that was just his face. He wasn't wearing what I'd call ample clothing for a night in the 40s. From his threadbare t-shirt I could make out a body honed to perfection. Not a bodybuilder, though. More like ex-military; one of those special forces operatives who exudes power and stealth, and could run ten miles just as easily as he could bench press a few hundred pounds.
The energy he emanated abraded my nerves, making me feel like a riotous mass of electrical wires. It was not on the same frequency as any human I've ever met. I've had limited interaction with people who emitted energy like mine so I was both fascinated and afraid. I wasn’t naïve enough to believe that all power was good power, but was interested enough to stick around and find out.
