Arman and Kaitlyn's First Fight
From The Falcon Prince
From The Falcon Prince
She struggled to free herself from his arms but he held on. Kaitlyn grunted in frustration. “Let go of me!”
Arman’s face became cold ice. He was angry at his own lack of self-control, at almost kissing her. Impervious to her thrashing and wriggling he pressed her closer to his chest.
“Not until I get you safe.” Arman commanded. He had a way of intimidating others with his presence. Most would not dare to argue with him.
She started punching his shoulders with her fists. Her cheeks turned red. “If you had just let me go earlier, I’d be safe at home right now.”
Arman raised a quizzical eyebrow. “You mean violated by those grackles and then taken to be a slave for Cyrus.”
“Yes. I mean no. Let me down!”
Kaitlyn was a fighter and this charmed and delighted him. Arman’s face relaxed from its stony expression. A slight smile pulled at the edges of his mouth. “When I know for certain that you are safe I’ll take you back home.”
She was gasping for breath from her struggle. “Promise me,” she said while her silver-blue eyes searched his. They reminded him of a deep river on a cloudy day, and glimmered with spirit and intelligence. No doubt she was trying to figure out a way to escape, but whatever she tried he would outwit and protect her.
“I guarantee it.”
Interesting. Brings me to question his motives some. Is he good? Bad? Hmm ... Nup. Don’t trust him.
ReplyDeleteWould’ve liked to have seen a bit more of the beginning. ^_^
Nice extract, with a really good sense of the scuffle. I think he's trustworthy though, she's probably just being stubborn thinking she can look after herself.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought the same as Aldrea. I can't decide if Arman is good or bad, but I am leaning more towards the side of good. He's kind of hot too!
ReplyDeleteI think his motives are good, he just comes across as slightly arrogant. Good tension in the scene.
ReplyDeletevery nice.
ReplyDeleteSuch gentleman... that was my thought. I think he's good. (now that the debate is going.)
ReplyDeleteIt's like, should she slap him or kiss him? I'm going with both!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpt, Andrea!
Loved it. Short and sweet, but incredibly intriguing. I'd love to read more.
ReplyDeleteGreat tension, Andrea! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the inner turmoil within myself. I can't decide if I like him or not. Or - like stated above - if he's good or bad. What a great excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in our blogfest! What a great read.
Your book sounds like a lot of fun! I'd love to read more and can't wait for the kissing scene! I'm sure it'll be HOT
ReplyDeleteLike the conflicting emotions here. Lots of nice back-and-forth between the characters. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThey seem like really interesting characters. I'm interested to read more! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know if she should beat him or kiss him :)
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! I do love stubborn, protective heroes and feisty heroines! Even the fights cause such wonderful friction.
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn is full of fire. It seems as though she is upset and yet strangely drawn to Arman. Like Michael, I want more.
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet. Leave 'em wanting more. :) Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great scene. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love this line: "hey reminded him of a deep river on a cloudy day, and glimmered with spirit and intelligence"
ReplyDeleteNice writing here, Andrea! :D
Love this part:
ReplyDelete“You mean violated by those grackles and then taken to be a slave for Cyrus.”
"Yes I mean, no!"
Nicely done.
