Welcome to Snippet Sunday!

Super Snippet Sunday everyone and thanks for visiting Tattered Pages! Today's snippet comes from Caedmon's Curse, Golden Key Chroncles, Book II. The scene opens the morning following Caedmon's story of  Helios and the Nine (scroll down if you'd like to read about this lore).

Past the lacy shadows of her lashes, the fire had died to a pile of gray ash. Tendrils of thick fog snaked through the nearby trees, carpeting the small clearing in a clandestine blanket of white silence. High on a nearby branch rested the shadow of a large falcon, his head tucked beneath the feathers of one wing.

She rolled to her other side and the undulating heat of a sun-baked sand dune kissed her cheeks, emanating from a body of lean muscle wrapped in honey-gold skin. Caedmon lay on his back, deep breaths spilling from his slightly parted lips, ebony hair a curtain of night caressing his shoulders.     

Pressing her lips together to contain a smile, she eased closer and gently tugged his shirt tails from the front of his leather pants. She snuck her hand inside and he flinched when she placed her icy palm on his warm stomach. A low chuckle tickled the back of her throat. It was an evil way to wake him, but she wasn’t sorry in the slightest. After the gentle way he'd cared for her, his presence called to her a level much deeper than mere body heat could provide.
