I’ve spoken of moments on my blog in the past and how they are powerful. They should be celebrated and observed in some way. Today’s snippet theme is defining moments. First a slight set up. Nigel Ha’gan my hero is having a hard time moving on with his life after his wife passed. Well until an intervention via a dream shakes him up.
An snippet from God Style Temptation….
“Nigel, you have to let me go,” Zarlu said in that soft voice of hers, then she smacked him on the head.“Ow, what did you do that for?” Nigel looked at Zarlu’s twinkling blue eyes.
She smiled, a sweet twist of her lips and put her hands on her hips. He knew from her stance he was in trouble.
“Why are you holding me as a shield so no one can get close to you? Geesh. You’re a man for god’s sake. You have needs.” She paced back and forth in front of him. She stopped and gave him a sexy look. “I know you’re not a saint.” She chuckled sensuously. “So stop being an ass and start to live.”
Watching her Nigel ached to touch her one last time. She smiled as if she understood. Coming to him, she slid her arms around him. Sinking into her embrace Nigel felt her love and care for him.
Zarlu pulled back with her arms still around him and sighed. “Nigel, it’s time to get back to living. Stop holding onto the past.” She looked at him. “When you’re ready you’ll know it’s time.” She glanced over his shoulder. Following her gaze Nigel looked at himself and the woman on the bed.
“Her name is Aurora and she needs you as much as you need her, Nigel.” Zarlu touched his cheek gently, pulled his face close and kissed him softly and tenderly. “I love you, my warlious.” She started to fade.
Reaching for her he whispered. “I love you, my sesuioul.” She smiled and disappeared. Watching her leave Nigel knew it was the last time. Tears rained down his face as he returned to his body.
Gasping he came awake, careful not to jerk the sleeping woman. He felt the tears on his face. Taking them off his cheek he held them and watched as they turned into a handful of diamonds.

Hi Taige! :)
Oh, that was a good one, Taige!
You're new to me Taige. I'm really liking this Snippet Saturday stuff. I'm finding all sorts of books that I want to check out.
Hi Taige. I enjoyed your excerpt.
