Hi, everyone. Welcome back for another Six Sentence Sunday. And thank you to all who have been coming to read my snippets. I do appreciate your time and comments.
This week I am returning to my WIP that is out with agents right now, Only Scandal Will Do, set in 18th century England. This scene occurs in the House of Pleasure, an exclusive brothel in London, run by Duncan’s ex-mistress. Lady Katarina Fitzwilliam has been kidnapped and put up for auction in a tableau scene depicting a Roman senator and a Christian slave girl. This is Duncan’s first look at Katarina.
The slave was dressed in an almost transparent white gown, in the popular, flowing Grecian style, its folds torn in places and streaked with dirt. A daringly low bodice displayed full, enticing breasts, with a hint of dark nipples showing through the gauzy fabric.
Duncan’s labored breathing sounded harsh in his ears, and when he tried to swallow, his mouth was so dry he had to peel his tongue from the roof.
The scenario itself did not appeal to him, but that girl. . . that girl with the incredible hair. The mass flowed shiny clean, obviously well tended, and would fall well below her waist. But the most alluring attribute was the fiery, bright auburn color of the long tresses, like molten flame spilling down the slave girl’s back and around her breasts—temptation incarnate.
That’s all for this week. Hope you enjoyed my snippet. To take a look at the other fantastic sixes click on
