Hello and welcome to the Hump Day Hook. Here is an excerpt
from my published short story telling the tale of how Redcliffe wolf lieutenant
Simon Bunce became the beast he is today…This is taken from My New Master.
“You might be gay Simon Bunce but you
will not disobey me. I am offering you
a great gift. If you join my family
here I will offer you protection and excitement. Isn’t
that what you want?”
Now I was confused. What was she talking about? I suddenly wondered if she was completely
sane. My mother had been
psychologically damaged and I recognized the signs in Marie’s behavior. I swallowed nervously then stepped back away
from the door and spoke in a calm voice.
“Ok Marie I am sorry but I’m not quite sure what you mean. Yes I would love to be bar manager but I
will not give you any sort of intimate relationship. You are a beautiful and attractive woman but I am only attracted
to men, do you understand that?”
She smiled and then laughed, throwing back her head. When she spoke her voice had changed, it was
deeper, almost a growl, and I was suddenly frightened as my instinct kicked
in.
“Oh Simon it is such a shame. Are you sure though? Perhaps you haven’t found the right woman yet? Perhaps you need a woman rather than a girl?”
I
tried to move towards the door again.
“Marie thanks again but maybe I
should go home. We can talk in the
morning, ok?”
I opened the door and jumped as I
almost walked right into another man.
He was gorgeous! He was tall,
about my height, with dark hair and amazing blue eyes. He smiled.
“I am sorry did I startle you? I was looking for Marie, is she here?”
I smiled and nodded, stepping to the
side so he could walk past me. Before I
could walk away Marie spoke again.
“Simon don’t go. Please come back into the office, I want you to meet my friend!”

ReplyDeleteThank you Lucy!
DeleteWow, Simon seems to be a little bit tense. It's a nice gender twist to see a guy being uncomfortable because of a girl hitting on him then the other way around.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, that's what I thought. Simon is a great character, and quite central to my Redcliffe Novels series as well...
DeleteAwesome excerpt! I hope to see more of it :)
