Excerpt
Franka
I remembered that look.
I
relished that look.
Not only
on my Antoine but any lover I’d had (but, obviously, getting it from Antione
was far more rewarding).
It was a
look I worked toward, putting great energy and imagination into it, losing
myself in these endeavors, feeling free of my name, my history, my secrets, my
responsibilities, and reveling in my success as if I’d scaled mountains.
It was my greatest talent outside, of
course (as any good Drakkar would excel), honing in on any vulnerability and
manipulating it for the greatest possible gain—coin, jewels, furs, favors,
silence, information, or simply for amusement.
Seeing the look on Noctorno at that
moment, I knew Circe too had performed well (admirably well, I might add,
considering her dismal past).
I also
recognized—focusing on it keenly—what Circe might have missed, or perhaps what
Noctorno hid from her understanding, or simply just sensing, how she came to
him.
He was
not done.
Oh no.
If she
had not given indication she wished him out of her bedchamber, he’d still be in
it.
Indeed,
he might be in it all night, and not to sleep.
He might
have been in it, perhaps, for days.
As these
thoughts flitted in my mind, I became aware he’d fully entered the room, was
stopped not far from my chair, and was standing, chin tipped down, eyes
regarding me with a scrutiny that I found so uncomfortable I actually shifted
in my seat.
I ceased
this reaction the instant I became aware of it, appalled at myself.
Giving
something away so easily? Especially something like discomfiture?
You’ve
ruined me, I snapped silently at Antoine.
My dead
lover had no rejoinder.
“You
okay?” Noctorno asked.
“Am I
what?” I asked in return.
His head
gave a slight twitch before he went on, “You okay? All right?” His voice
lowered. “It’s been a tough day, babe, for all of us. Including you.”
I looked
beyond him to the fire, lifting my wine to my lips but not sipping it until
after I murmured, “I’m perfectly fine.”
“Yeah,
right,” he stated, and the disbelief veritably dripping from his tone made my
gaze flick immediately back to him.
This
meant I watched as he sauntered right in front of me to the chair accompanying
mine, threw his lengthy frame in it and reached for the wine at the table that
separated our seats.
He also
reached for the extra glass.
These
were seats, I shall add, that were turned at corners to each other with a
small, round table in between, so my
knee was nearly touching his.
He
poured.
It was
on the tip of my tongue to share that I had not invited him to attend me.
Alas, I
became distracted by his long fingers, and the words died in my mouth.

About the Author
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.
Nothing’s changed.
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
