CONCENTRIC CIRCLES: Spell, Book & Blade
Aithne Jarretta
Aithne Jarretta
There are boundless elements that may be written into paranormal romance. That’s because the human imagination can carry you into unchartered worlds.
I am Aithne Jarretta. Thank you, Kayelle for hosting me on your blog. Today I’d love to share my world of CONCENTRIC CIRCLES with Readers. This story takes place in modern day Glastonbury, England. A place known for its magical atmosphere.
Why?
‘Tis Avalon.
Since time immemorial people have traveled to this sacred place. Shrouded within lowland mists, religious and spiritual cultures have flourished, ebbed and blended.
What if the sacredness of this wonderful place needed protecting from the evils of the world?
Enter the Chilkwell family and their legacy of guardianship.
Since CONCENTRIC CIRCLES is paranormal the three basic magical elements I’ve chosen to share (along with a sexy excerpt) are spell, book and blade.
Spells are fun and can be very challenging. Their basic intention can make or break a magical world. Good or wicked, they are the drama that can carry the heroine and hero into adventure.
Books? Oh my. The avenue of magical possibilities with books is staggering. Since reading has been a life long passion, books often make an appearance in my stories. Sometimes it’s a brief appearance. Other times it’s more potent and long lasting. My favorite book in CONCENTRIC CIRCLES?
‘The Shadow Seeker’s Guide to Esoteric Potions.’ Imagine that one…
The last magical element I’m going to share with you is the blade. I love the folk legends and modern-day tales of Avalon and its legendary sword.
This is not the blade in my story of adventure, love and danger. No. few people know of this secret weapon. Those who have read and reviewed CC are aware of him. He is ageless, magical and powerful. Exposed in his full measure he is 5.9”—though not diminutive. Not by a long shot.
He is a Highlander’s sgian dhu.
Protector and warrior of the highest caliber, CIARANLEXISS has been known to speak up when his wielder least expects. CC’s heroine, Shayla Brinawell must come to terms with hearing him speak. (Insanity?) However, his magical guidance has seen many guardians through the challenge of battle.
Don’t be mistaken. These three elements of paranormal are just the beginning of this sexy story.
Let me introduce you to Meekal Chilkwell…
(this sexy scene begins after Shayla & Meekal enter Harry’s Pub)
They stepped into Harry’s Pub amidst flashing and spiraling red, white and blue lights. Shayla gasped, looking around in surprise.
Got cha. Meekal greeted the hostess. “Hey, Lily. It’s just two tonight.”
Lily gave Shayla an appraising glance, picked up two menus and turned on her high heel. “Come this way then, Kal.”
They followed her to the back of the pub as classic American rock and roll infused the air.
Lily watched them while they made themselves comfortable, her eyes lingering on Meekal.
“This is fine. Thanks, Lily.” He gave her a dismissive smile.
Shayla tapped his foot under the table. “Friend of yours?” she whispered.
“We dated once.”
“Wondered why she was so hoity-toity. How does she work in three inch heels anyway?”
“Changes every hour.”
“Ooh, that tidbit means you know her well.” The tip of her tongue came out and swept across a succulent upper lip. She leaned forward. “So you bring your newest conquest to meet her?”
“Conquest? Am I mistaken? I had the impression it’s deeper than that.” He held her gaze as his foot slid up her leg under the table. Shock flashed through him when her boot landed in his crotch. He choked, holding her laughing eyes in a tight embrace. His hand went to his lap in natural reactive protection even as he looked up at their server with a heated face.
Their server, wearing a nametag proclaiming her to be Amie, tapped her pad with a purple pen. “Can I get you something to drink?”
Shayla maneuvered her foot in a sensual circle. He stared at her, feeling a mixture of awe and determination, and then squeezed her foot.
She sent the tip of her tongue out, and glanced up. “Hi, Amie. I’d like a Banana Banshee.”
He bit back a groan.
Shayla pushed on him again, tossed smooth curls over her shoulder, giving him an innocent smile. “My friend would like a Comfortable Screw.”
Meekal chewed the inside of his cheek.
She winked.
His voice caught somewhere in his throat. “That’ll be fine, Amie.”
Amie looked at Shayla’s funky black and red hair, leather jacket over a hot pink blouse and leather skirt, with skepticism. “I need to see some ID.”
Shayla, shaking with amusement, turned her mouth upward into a playful smile, and then licked her upper lip—again.
Profuse tongue. Meekal resisted the urge to lean forward and consume its hyperactive delectableness. He moved slightly to the left trying to ease his jeans into a better position of comfort.
Shayla pulled her small wallet from a pocket and produced an Ohio driver’s license.
Amie studied it and then handed it back. “A Banana Banshee and Comfortable Screw coming right up.”
“Thank you.”
Meekal reached under the table and grabbed her boot. “Shock value?”
Shayla twisted her foot from his grasp and leaned forward on the table. “My turn. Besides, it doesn’t make up for the jolts you’ve given me today. Are you saying you aren’t interested in a Comfortable Screw?” She tilted her head to the right, pulling her full lower lip between her teeth.
He growled. “Comfortable, fast, or slow.”
