Six Sentence Sunday–1/29/12 Only Scandal Will Do

Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday!  I want to thank everyone, once again, for their great support each week.  I do appreciate your visits and look forward to each comment with anticipation.  I also look forward to visiting your sites and reading your wonderful stories.

Once again I’m following up my six from last week with the next six sentences  from Only Scandal Will Do.

If you remember, Duncan has just purchased a woman in a brothel auction and has come to claim his prize.  His “slave” however, continues to insist there has been a mistake.  He has managed to turn the tables on the lady and called her virtue into question.  Last week, outraged, she turned and fled.

A long arm snared the diaphanous folds of her gown. The material strained against her body, forcing Kat to freeze lest it rip and expose her completely. Cursing her own folly for choosing such a costume, she swung around to face her captor.

“Please release me, sir,” she demanded, trying to keep her temper in check. She needed to woo this man to her cause. And though it galled her, she could only do so with soft words, not blows– perhaps the blows could come later.

Not a shrinking violet by any means.  Katarina plans to give him a run for his money, it seems!

If you’d like to read more about Kat’s plight, check out my post from yesterday and come back next week for another six sentence installment.

Thanks once more for visiting Six Sentence Sunday.  Click the SSS to try out more author snippets.  You’ll be glad you did!
