My Punishment: Our Winner's Prize Revealed.

 

 

 

Thanks again to everyone for playing and again congratulations to CliffGirl for winning the Fill In The Blank challenge. She was kind enough to email me back last night and I thought I would post my punishment here for all of you that weren't able to log onto Facebook. Which after reading her response a few times, the sentence is actually my style. Yay!

So this is the line that I will incorporate into Dan and Rowe Chapter 5 as CliffGirl's prize:

"Not a single cloud littered the night sky but the moo...n cast a strange glow, and (name of major character) felt a storm brewing; s/he was certain of it when s/he looked down and saw a pool of blood on the sidewalk at his/her feet."

*Rubs hands together* Oh yes, this is sooo my style. I got you CliffGirl! I so got you. Looking forward to using this.  On to the next topic of business.  I promised a sentence for every winner of my little game but thought better of that.  Because all of you are so awesome and have been so patient with my crazy writing schedule, I have decided to post an entire excerpt.  Yes, I got all of your emails and I'm sorry I'm being so slow in returning them but there were a lot! :D 

 

 

XOXOXO NIGHTTEMPEST

 

So here is your mega teaser:

 

The water had finally warmed to Rowe's satisfaction and he moved away, allowing the tap to fill the tub. Carefully bending over Dan on the floor, Rowe pulled his fragile mate into his arms and fought the urge to breathe in the clean scent that permeated through all the dirt and ash along Dan's skin. Like perfume, the smell of fresh grass and clean mountain a...ir filled the room. Rowe's gums throbbed--his hunger reaching a high that was dangerously teetering over the edge of his resistance. But this was his pet, his everything, and Rowe refused to succumb to his beast when Daniel needed him the most. No matter how hungry he was.

Rowe focused on the task at hand and his eyes targeted Daniel's blank stare instead of his naked body. He held Dan tight as he climbed into the large tub and sank down into the warm water. With shaking hands, Rowe situated his mate against his chest before turning his head away. He stared at the wall and listened to Dan's heart beat--the sound being the only thing Rowe had left at this point. A tear fell, then another, and another from Rowe's eyes. How was he to fix something so broken? How could he make Daniel better?

Thin arms wrapping tightly around his waist startled Rowe's focus back to the tub. His eyes cut down to Dan. A choked intake of breath cut through the silence of the room before Dan began to sob uncontrollably.
