Hi everyone! I’m on vacation, languishing at the beach, sunglasses in place, blanket free of sand, with the surf beating against the shore in a symphony of exquisite sound.
*ahem* But let me not digress—here’s eight more sentences from Cat Nip. It’s getting pretty close to pub time (pun intended) but I’ll keep posting installments until it goes to press. If you’re following the story, Installment #8 will be up on Tuesday here.
It was early morning when Hunter traveled to the Willow Springs Emporium to buy a replacement for the clothing he’d ripped. After he’d chosen a dress in a color to match the healer’s eyes, he paid for it and returned to camp.
“She’s under my protection,” he told the others when they inquired about the witch.
“For how long?” Ansel asked, displaying understandable interest in the woman who’d pulled him back from death.
“As long as I want her to be,” Hunter snarled, startled when beast fangs filled his mouth. He didn’t tell them that he’d nipped her and tasted more than skin, or about her hexing him into a change.
“Stay away from her, she’s mine,” he growled, his nails extending to claws as he stated his claim. Then he fully shifted into cat, and carrying the package with him, followed her scent from the camp to her home.

Interesting how he is ready to fight for her. A little intimidating too.
Interesting!
Gem,
It’s five o’clock somewhere! Meet me at the pub and I’ll buy you a Wild Turkey!
You’re cat sounds more like a loyal tiger.
Nice 8!
Ever heard that song “The Cat Came Back”? Yeah, she’s in trouble true. Great snippet, Gem. 🙂
She has no idea, does she? This is going to be fun!
Now how is he carrying the package in cat form?
wouldn’t want to get on his bad side….
Love the Alpha male! Really enjoyed your snippet.
I like that he’s surprised by the strength of his reaction. I wonder what she’s going to think about being claimed by a man-cat. Great eight!
The alpha is really coming out! Nice 8.
Oh this is an interesting story line. Lots of stuff goin’ on. I can anticipate many layers to this tale. Ansel better watch himself.

Once again, I love the feel you’ve created. You bring us right into the scene with your characters.
I just keep liking this more and more!
I knew he was going to be possessive about her. This is going to be such a good read! Can’t wait for publication!
