Banshee Seduction (Montgomery's Sin Book 1)

“He’s in the right job—an agent. There to help.”
“Yes,” she agreed. She listened to his even breathing as he thought.
“When did you know he was an archangel?”
“The very first moment I touched him, when we were both repelled by each other. It was his archangel touching my tortured soul. He recognized me too. Knew I was half angel.”
“It’s no wonder you couldn’t live with the banshee spirits; it must have torn you apart.”
She smiled. She’d have never met him if she’d stayed with the others. It was meant to be. Fate had dealt her a kind hand.

He shifted her body so she fit better in his lap. He leaned back against the headboard and stretched his legs out in front of him, moving her so she rested her back against his chest and gave him better access to her sweet ear so he could whisper dark obscenities. He wrapped his arms around her lushly curved body and nuzzled into her. The woman was half angel. No wonder he’d had a demon of a time with her.
He stroked the length of her neck with the back of his fingers. Her silver-blonde hair waterfalled over her shoulder in a satin gleam and threw a shimmering halo to surround her head. He traced the smooth line of her cheek, relishing the satin touch of her skin. “You know, we’d have beautiful babies.”
She turned her head; her startled blue eyes stared at him. “I wouldn’t have to lay an egg, would I?”
Amusement rumbled through his chest and burst out of his lips in a roar of laughter. Her expression remained serious. “I mean it, Matt. I don’t think I could bear having to roost for however long it takes for a dragon egg to hatch.”
He laughed again and wiped the tears from his eyes.
She smacked him on the shoulder and twisted around in his lap to straddle him, the smile dropped from her mouth. “I’m serious.”
“So am I.” His heart felt like it might explode in his chest. “I want us to have babies.”
In quiet contemplation, she feathered her fingers across his lips and traced the line of the top one. Then she leaned in and placed her mouth against his. “I want babies too.”
His heart swelled to the sound of sweet angelic music, prompting him to confess. “Just for your information, in case you lay an egg instead of giving birth. In the dragon realm, it’s the male who hatches the egg.”
“Holy cow.” She gurgled. “It’s a deal.”
Her warm lips smooched his again. The fire she ignited spread through his belly.
“I didn’t mean straightaway.”
Delighted laughter tinkled around, echoing the muted sound of wind chimes. One more peck to his mouth and she whispered against his lips. “Nor me, but who’s to stop us from practicing?”
He nuzzled his face into the side of her neck, closed his eyes, and inhaled the scent of the half angel he held in his arms, his heart and his soul.
Yeah, he was in heaven.
About the Author
Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside in England with her tall, dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, a one-eyed kitten, a ginger cat, four chickens, and a gorgeous black Labrador puppy called Beau—a name she’s borrowed for her hero in For Heaven’s Cakes.
After working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling great distances, Diane gave it all up to write when her husband said, “Follow that dream.”
Having been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth demanding plot lines of their own, and she’s found the more she lets them, the more they’re inclined to run wild.
