Six Sentence Sunday–2/05/12 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 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, only to be stopped short by her purchaser. Kat is determined to talk her way out of this.

“I beg you to aid me in my hour of need.” She put every ounce of charm into her smile; she could cajole him, as long as he couldn’t read her mind.

“Ah, but I have needs too, slave.” His hands were in her hair again, as though he could not help himself.

Well aware from his husky tone what needs the man might have, Katarina winced. If only she could see all of his face—it was so difficult to judge the man under that golden mask. 

Katarina is always thinking two steps ahead.  But he sure doesn’t seem to be taking no for an answer.  Let the fireworks begin!

If you’d like to read more about Kat’s plight, check out my posts from January at Sweet Saturday Sample and come back next week for another six sentence installment.

    She needs to wrap him around her fingers a little tighter. Then he won’t be able to help himself give her what she wants. 😀
