Àithne's Anthology Volume 1 - Anthology

A collection of mini-scenes, shorts and first chapter previews of up coming books.       ~ I remember one night when we were young. You weren't supposed to be on the phone. But you broke the rules all the time and didn't care who said what about it. But you were this time so you could call me. It was important you said. Your voice was quiet. Not because you didn't want to get caught, but because that is how you always sounded when no one else was around and you were confiding your deepest thoughts to me.
...  Years have gone by now and it's another Christmas Eve. So many of them have gone by and I haven't missed you any less tonight than any other night. I still love you. I still need you. I think, I always will. ~ ~  "Hi, I'm Melissa." She whispered breathlessly. Both arms reached up to twine around his neck."Dance with me. It's a perfect night for it." She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed.
The man stood still. His arms came up around her slowly and felt so good she automatically snuggled in to him. He stiffened up as if she had pinched him."Are you ." He cleared his throat. ". all right?""Why wouldn't I be?" She murmured dreamily, swaying her whole body into his. His muscles felt nice. The warmth from his body seeped into hers and she shivered."Because you are dancing out here in the nude, sweetie." He said dryly.
