Night two of teasers from WIPs and work coming out.

This teaser is from "Blood Lust" coming December 31st, 2014! Hope you enjoy!

It was shortly after Freya had married Aidan that she tried to discuss the situation with Catriogwyn. She’d told her sister that after her first time with Aidan he’d seemed sluggish. She wasn’t sure if that was normal. But Catriogwyn seemed uncomfortable talking about sex, much less her older sister having it, so she’d let the subject drop.
Catriogwyn continued thinking about how many times her sister had tried to talk to her about how Aidan had seemed drained of energy after they would have sex, but she felt extremely energetic and full of life. That one phrase kept turning around in her mind while she wandered aimlessly through the woods. The small sounds that had been accompanying her on her walk had gone quiet. That’s when she stepped into a clearing and saw the man standing there. He was mostly hidden in the shadow of the trees, on the edge of the clearing, so she couldn’t see him really well. From the shadow all she could tell was that he was tall, around six foot eight though he was hunched slightly, and wiry. What made him stand out was his height and leanness.
Catriowgyn hadn’t seen anyone, male or female, that tall or skinny before. She stopped in the center of the clearing where the moonlight could shine down on her. Her skirts made a swooshing noise as she came to a standstill. They stood there, staring at each other, for what seemed like hours. Then, the man spoke.
“You are a lovely vision, standing in the moonlight as you are.”
His voice was gravelly, as if he hadn’t spoken in a very long time. She jumped slightly at the sound of it, but recovered quickly, replying, “Why, thank you, kind sir. I must admit that you startled me some. Can you come join me under this wonderful moonlight so that I may see you better?”
