![]() Curse & Craving
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: We walked a mile or so to the city gates, where we were offered a mount by the city guards to ride to the palace in the center of the city. Not anticipating visitors, they only had one spare horse at the gate. We would have to ride together. Of course, we would. I took a deep breath and joined Lochlan near the majestic black beast. The horse began to whinny anxiously and prance in place, his brown eyes bulging wide. I was no horse expert, but it was plain that the horse was uncomfortable with my presence. “Stop upsetting the horse,” Lochlan said as he walked up to the agitated creature and took the reins, stroking the behemoth’s neck while cooing softly at him. “I’m not doing anything!” I replied indignantly. Lochlan grunted, then swung me onto the saddle without warning. I squealed like a five-year-old girl. “Stop your screaming. You’ll upset the horse more than he already is.” “I couldn’t help it. You startled me. Next time, let me know before you throw me onto the back of an angry animal.” Boorish, impossible man. Lochlan lifted himself onto the saddle behind me, one arm snaking around my middle. His lips lowered to my ear. “Keep up with the attitude and see where it gets you.” His words sent an avalanche of shivers down my spine. Before I could recover, he gave the reins a tug. The horse surged forward, forcing me to cling to Lochlan’s arm at my waist. ![]()
