Snippet Saturday: Emotional Excerpts

My husband is trying to have AT&T U-Verse installed. So far, 

after four days, our Internet service has been down most of the 

time. Thus, I've missed you for the past few days and I'm sure

I've also missed important emails. If you've sent anything to

me and I haven't responded, please keep trying.  

Also please excuse the formatting. I'm having trouble straightening 

it out tonight and have little time to do it. But I can't let 

down the group. 

This is an emotional excerpt from my Christmas m/f erotic romance 

"Christmas Miracles".

Christmas Miracles is available at: Total-E-Bound 

Tiffany gasped for air and then
 frantically felt around her body taking inventory of all the parts when she
came to in a dim, chilly room. Squinting, she felt out of place. She had no
idea where she was and she was thoroughly discombobulated.







She looked around and found the
ghost less than a foot behind her. Startled, she let out a little yelp. Then
anger set in and she glowered at the phantom. “Okay, you, take me home this
instant. I don’t like being hijacked. What do you think you are? The Ghost of
Christmas?”







The apparition emphatically
nodded and then pointed deep into the room.







“Yeah. Right. And I’m the
Pillsbury Doughboy.” She rolled her eyes.







The ghost floated deeper into the
room and pulled her with him. How, she had no clue, but she seemed to be caught
in a tractor beam.







At first, the room didn’t look
familiar, but then her memory was tickled. Suddenly her memory flooded back and
she regressed fifteen years into her past.







Off kilter, her breath ragged,
her pulse skittering in her wrist, she inventoried Dax’s apartment, the one
she’d thought to share with him one day, the one she’d practically moved in, if
not officially.







Still in disbelief, still
frightened, she ran toward the two people in the room, doubles of herself and
Dax. “Help! I’ve been kidnapped. Call the police.”







But the other people didn’t
flinch. They acted as if she wasn’t there.







Frustrated, about to scream, she
grabbed Dax’s arm to shake it, to make him notice her.







Unfortunately, her fingers went
through him. She didn’t feel a thing.







Frightened out of her mind, she
jerked back and on her ass went sprawling back several feet. She landed at the
Christmas creature’s feet.







She looked up at the spectre and
accused, “You’re the Ghost of Christmas Past?”







The creature nodded.







She still didn’t believe it and
pinched herself, digging her nails into her flesh. It stung and she jerked
back. “Ouch!”







The ghost forcefully pointed at
the scene unfurling a few feet away.







Compelled, she watched as Dax
took her in his arms and kissed her as if he couldn’t get enough. “I don’t know
what I’d ever do without you, baby. You’re part of me.”







With a dreamy smile her other
self melted against Dax and looped her arms around his neck. She rubbed her
nose against his. “Why do you say that? Aren’t we going to be together
forever?”







Tiffany snorted and her heart
threatened to break all over. She knew what was awaiting her hapless former
self and she moaned. “Get out now while the getting’s good,” she warned under
her breath, willing herself to flee.







But her younger self didn’t
budge. In fact, her younger self burrowed deeper into her lover’s arms, naïve
and setting herself up for heart break.







Her gut roiling, she
turned away, unable to live through this twice.
