Welcome back to Sweet Saturday Sample! All excerpts here are rated PG-13 or milder. I decided to post one more excerpt from my Victorian short story, Heart of Deception, because if you want to read the end, you can get it FREE this weekend on Amazon.
The story, set in London, 1860, follows Lady Celinda Graham, who is head-over-heels in love with a man to whom her father has strong objections. In this sample, we find out a good deal more about Andrew’s scheme for the couple to wed.
His musings were interrupted by the sound of hurrying feet outside the room. The door opened and Celinda rushed in, stopping dead at the sight of him in such a state of undress. He smiled in encouragement.
“You left the note for my father?” Her voice was a strangled whisper.
He nodded, noting that her eyes did not leave the expanse of chest left bare by the discarded cravat. She licked her lips and that small movement caused his stomach to drop, and something else to rise.
“When will he arrive?”
His breathing changed to short gasps at the sight of her in such proximity to the bed. “He’s with his steward right now.” He noticed her breathing had become erratic as well. “I sent the note by Tillby. It could be a while before he discovers us.”
She nervously licked her lips again and he was undone.
Come back next week for another little sample from a new work.
