Okay so here’s a little Excerpt of the Lakehouse Security #6.
The working title is Repeating Love (Lakehouse Security #6). This is Mikkel and
Damon’s love story. It took me a while to get a good working plot but once I
figured out the characters I feel so much better about it. It’s not like
pulling teeth anymore just to get each word out.
(Please note that this is an unedited Excerpt)
WIP Excerpt
Damon looked over at Mikkel, who stood there with his arms
crossed in front of his chest and a scowl on his face. That look on his face
never left, but the past hour it had got a bit more pronounced. It was the way
his brow furrowed even more than normal.
“Are you packed?” Damon asked him, just to give him something
to say. Really the silence and the way Mikkel looked at him was starting to get
on his nerves. Damon could tell Mikkel saw the texts Samuel Avery had shown in.
“I’m always packed,” Mikkel said.
“Is that a bodyguard thing or whatever it is you are when you
aren’t guarding my body?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
Damon walked over to the dresser, then and picked up another
shirt. He walked over to the bed and folded it. “Those papers that Aiden showed
you,” Damon started to say, but Mikkel cut him off.
“I don’t want to talk about those just yet, Damon.”
Well, that answered the one question he had. He couldn’t keep
the tears from gathering in his eyes even if he tried.
“I didn’t give him your name. I don’t know how he knows about
you. I wouldn’t have done that on purpose,” Damon said even as he folded
another shirt and put it in his bag. He could barely see what he was doing past
the tears in his eyes. It was mostly by feel that he was packing at this point.
“I know. You were being recorded the entire time you were in
that cell,” Mikkel said. Damon looked over at him. Mikkel’s arms were at his
sides now.
Damon felt the weight of it on his chest. Nothing Mikkel said
sank into his mind. Only the fact that if Mikkel died it would be his fault.
“Oh God, I’m so sorry,” he said, but he wasn’t sure who he was talking to. He
shut his eyes, trying to get away from the fact that he had endangered this man
in front of him, which had only helped him to be safe and secure in his own
life.
He felt arms come around him. His body tensed, not wanting
Mikkel’s sympathy right now. He didn’t deserve it.
“It’s not your fault. None of what the other Avery brother is
doing is your fault.”
“You’re wrong. It is my fault. All if it is my fault.”
“Look at me,” Mikkel said in that no nonsense tone he always
used.
“I can’t.”
“Look at me, Damon.”
Damon looked up at him slowly, not wanting to see the anger
and hate in Mikkel’s eyes. It’s what he deserved. Once he met Mikkel’s eyes he
saw only concern. Mikkel’s hand came up
to cup one of Damon’s cheeks, effectively keeping him in place. “Nothing is
your fault. Nothing at all. I’m here for you if you want to talk about it.”
“You don’t hate me for what I’ve done?”
“Of course not, because you didn’t do anything. I hope
someday you’ll be able to talk about with me though.”
