Teaser Tuesday #140

White lies de Linda Howard

He ignored the doctor and stood, his gaze never wavering from Jay. He would never get enough of looking at her. Four steps took him to her, and her eyes widened even more in her utterly white face as she stared up at him. He tried to make his hands gentle as he caught her arms and pulled her to her feet, but anticipation and arousal were riding him hard, and he knew his fingers bit into her soft flesh. She made an incoherent sound; then his mouth covered hers and the erotic feel of her full lips made him want to groan. He wanted to be alone with her. She was shaking in his arms, her hands clutching the front of his shirt as she leaned against him as if afraid she might fall.
— Well, your sense of direction is good, Frank said wryly, and Steve lifted his head from Jay's, though he kept her tight against him, her head pressed into his shoulder. She was still trembling violently.
— I'd say his priorities are in order, too, Major Lunning put in, grinning as he looked at his patient with a deep sense of satisfaction.

-[...] Pourquoi moi ?

-Ça ne pouvait pas être quelqu'un d'autre, dit-il doucement. Longtemps avant de te rencontrer, j'avais le sentiment que ma vie était une sorte de mise à l'épreuve. Je nageais en eaux troubles, en tentant d'atteindre le rivage, et mes bras s'épuisaient, ma peau était anesthésiée. Sur le rivage m'attendait tout ce que je pensais vouloir : un meilleur job, une maison, une famille... - Il se tut, repris son souffle. - Mais c'est à peine si j'arrivais à garder la tête hors de l'eau. Finalement, j'ai cessé de voir le rivage. Rien que la nuit et le froid, dans toutes les directions. Je sais, ça fait cliché, mais lorsque je t'ai rencontrée, mes yeux se sont ouverts. J'ai regardé autour de moi, et j'ai réalisé que je pouvais me relever si je le voulais. La terre était ferme sous mes pieds. Ce rivage au loin n'était qu'une illusion. La beauté, elle était déjà là.

White lies de Linda Howard

[Contexte: Steve a été gravement blessé dans une explosion. Il est resté plusieurs jours dans le coma, mais une voix de femme l'a ramené vers la lumière. Mais il s'est réveillé amnésique, il n'a donc aucun souvenir de Jay.  
Dans cet extrait, le docteur vient de lui enlever les bandages de ses yeux et la 1ère chose que fait Steve est de chercher Jay du regard.]

Voici un extrait de ma lecture de la semaine dernière, Lady Chance de Sherry Thomas, un livre étonnant que j'ai dévoré en deux temps, trois mouvements. Un livre drôle et parfois grave et j'ai adoré ! Quand une chasseuse de dot rencontre un vaurien sans scrupules, tous les coups sont permis et notamment utiliser des techniques "push up" avant l'heure !! 



"Lorsqu'elle avait évalué ses chances sur le marché du mariage, il lui était immédiatement apparu que son décolleté nécessitait de sérieuses améliorations."
