Daughter of the Dark Moon
Excerpt
“You’re mine,” he repeated, his voice low, quiet, and calm as though he declared nothing more momentous than the state of the weather. He gestured at his plate with his fork and added, “This is good.”
“Glad you like it,” she replied in a dry tone and wondered why she felt no danger in his presence, especially following his strange declaration and understanding her own vulnerability alone with a stranger in a remote cabin. “You do realize that I have rights and freedom of choice. You can’t just claim me as your property.” “You’re weary,” he said between bites as though she’d not spoken. “When you’ve finished eating, go to bed. I shall clean up.” Directing an annoyed glare at the handsome brute, Corinne said, “You are sleeping on the sofa.” He nodded, not seeming at all disturbed by her assertion of personal autonomy. A frisson of excitement—or terror—tingled up her spine. She met his mysterious silver gaze and, strangely again, felt no fear. This man meant her no harm, despite the weird and disturbing claim of possession. “Uberon?” “Yes?” “Why are you here?” “Because you’re mine.” They finished the simple meal in silence. Uberon ate the other half of her fillet. Twin Moons Saga

What an interesting excerpt. He is definitely possessive

I think a great romantic hero is possessive. Not in a creepy, controlling jealous manner, but in a devoted kind of way. 11/25/2020 12:21:31 pm

Uberon has a reserved, yet sly, sense of humor. 11/30/2020 04:35:54 pm
He claims she is his. She doesn't agree with that so what's next? Huh? Thanks for sharing! Comments are closed.
