“No late nights?”
He laughed. “Some, but I hope my new PA would advise me on my schedule.”
“Can I get that in writing?”
“You mean you’ll consider this?”
“I don’t know, Simon. There’s my bookshop... I don’t want to give up my livelihood and end up running after you if it will end in tears again. There’re no guarantees in this business.”
“But you’ll give it some thought?”
“I’ll have it under consideration, pending the outcome of the next few months.” Her thoughts were awhirl with emotions and Emily needed time to think. For now Simon was surprisingly solid here, his body warm.
He leaned down to kiss her, his lips firm and warm on hers. The ghost of a tongue flicked against hers. Emily couldn’t help but smile at the brief intrusion. Maybe her prince wasn’t such a demon after all. Perhaps she could make this thing work.
About Nerine Dorman
http://www.lyricalpress.com/nerine_dorman
Born sometime during the previous century, Nerine Dorman, who also writes under the pen name of Therése von Willegen, has a penchant for red wine, Earl Grey tea, cats, cemeteries and crumbling Victorian-era buildings. At present, she resides in Cape Town, South Africa, where she spends most of her free time knocking the written word into shape while she concocts tales of darkness, despair, and love lost and found.
Some of her favorite authors include Storm Constantine, Jacqueline Carey, Neil Gaiman, Poppy Z Brite, Hunter S Thompson and William S Burroughs.
Her preferred genres include urban fantasy, steampunk and horror, with a dash of contemporary erotic fiction when she’s in the mood.
When she isn’t reading, editing or writing, her interests include music, magic, ancient Egypt, traveling, classic cars, photography, art and gardening. Nominally involved with the South African indie filmmaking scene, she is also a founding member of the Adamastor Writers’ Guild and organizes the annual SA HorrorFest Bloody Parchment literary event.
Apart from that, she is an experienced penguin wrangler, and, unlike her charges, doesn’t bite...much.
