Well I made it yesterday. What a drive! Took all night and most of the day. Road contruction…. I slept well and am ready to start the day. I’ll post more later.

Hi everyone. I’m on my way to Nationals in Orlando, Florida. I’m going to leave out at 2a.m. and get there around 2pm tomorrow afternoon. Long drive, but I will listen to my book on CD on the way. I’m listening to Laurell K Hamilton’s Bullet.  I have Lee Childs’ Gone Tomorrow for on the way back.

The muses will say hi off and on while I’m gone. I’ll report to them so they can let you know what is going on there. Keep a close watch on them for me. They tend to get into all sorts of trouble when I’m gone.

Going to load the car now. I’ll talk to you all once I arrive tomorrow.

 Leopard Dreams

Zack drew in a deep breath and let her go. He seemed to know what she was thinking. He took a quick step back before she could attack him again. Kristen growled and turned around to face him. She wished she hadn’t. His eyes took all of her in before returning to stare into hers. She couldn’t miss the male gleam in them. It brought home the fact she was totally naked. Not just naked but wet as well. 

Kristen whirled and snatched up the robe she’d left hanging on the bathroom door and shoved her arms into the sleeves. She knotted the belt at her waist and glared at him across the room. 

“Now. You know why I’m here. Get out.” She couldn’t help the tremor in her voice. She wanted to attack him. It would be stupid. He not only outweighed her, but if he was the pard leader’s first, she’d be no match for him. Instead she looked pointedly at the door of her bedroom. 

“I think not.” He propped against the dresser and smiled. 

Arms crossed, he looked for all intents and purposes, relaxed. Without a doubt he was anything but. Tension radiated off him like heat off a blacktop road. The cat in him sat coiled ready to lunge if she gave him a reason. 

Zack ground his teeth. What about her had his cat so uptight? Her ebony hair pulled back in a ponytail allowed him to clearly see her features. Her slightly upturned nose complimented her narrow face and the two big pools of black fire watched him. He could imagine running his hands up and down the smooth silk of her skin. 

Her raven black eyes met his from across the room. Tall and curvy, she called to him. An unbidden thought of mating with her shocked him back to awareness. He couldn’t afford to think of her like that. She might be their enemy. She probably was.
