Excerpt: From Angel’s Assassin by
Laurel O’Donnell
“Damien,” she called.
He hesitated. He didn’t
want her to fear him. Would she
condemn him now for his violence?
The silence stretched.
Finally, he turned to her and his breath caught in his throat.
She stood in middle of the forest, bathed in a pool of moonlight. Her blonde hair, loose from any
constraints, fell to her waist in thick waves. Her back was straight, her tiny body alluring and curvy and
delectable. But it was her eyes
that captured his attention. He
saw no fear in her eyes. It was
concern. Had he mistaken fear for
concern?
Damien had never felt such an overwhelming need for anything in his
life. He trembled with his want of
her.
A swirl of emotions played over her face. Concern, regret, helplessness.
It took all Damien’s willpower not to go to her and sweep her into his
embrace. He didn’t want to scare
her. He didn’t want to harm her. He didn’t want to taint her.
“I will never leave you,” she finally confessed and tears entered her
eyes.
Damien came toward her then, like a tumultuous storm cloud. “You don’t know what you are saying,”
he warned in a savage whisper.
Aurora did not run for cover; she did not shrink from his approach. She stared up into his face with those
damned clear orbs. And for the
briefest of moments, Damien saw himself reflected as she saw him. A hero, a good man. A man worthy of all he could attain.
He stood before her, stunned.
The sound of horses thundering through the clearing pounded a warning
through the ground.
Damien grabbed Aurora’s hand in one hand, and drew his sword in the
other. He watched the group of men
approach through the forest, clumsily maneuvering their steeds through the
tight trees. He pulled Aurora
behind him.
These men were no brigands.
They wore heraldry, and while Damien couldn’t be sure, he suspected they
were from Acquitaine.
As they drew closer, his suspicions were confirmed. One of them called out, “Lady Aurora!”
Damien refused to relinquish her.
For just one moment, she had been his. And it had been the most glorious moment of his life.
