A sneak peek between the pages of the GRYPHON and his THIEF.
“Get a grip,”
she warned herself. The gryphon didn’t blink his eyes. Yep, and it didn’t fly
from the back room and station itself at the door, either. She gulped and
leveled the beam of the flashlight on the statue once more. Only what stood
there now was a man, a large man with dark hair, a beard neat and trim…and eyes
that glowed like the gryphon’s eyes had.“You cannot take
the item from the museum,” the man’s deep voice boomed with authority meant to
intimidate, and his words were flavored with a Greek accent. “You must return
it immediately,” he finished the threat. Sure there had been no threat voiced,
but she all but heard the ‘or else’ just as clearly as if the words had been
spoken.“Who are you?”
she countered, even though she had no right to inquire. Obviously, this man
must be the night guardsman. Her gaze slid over his attire and frowned. He wore
garments she’d only seen painted on Greek vases and paintings—an intricately
designed tunic, a dark colored cloak, and gold sandals adorned his feet. Her
one eyebrow lifted. Perhaps he was a thief who liked theatrics. She had an
uncle who liked to dress like a caped superhero when he went on his jobs.
She straightened
her back and met the guy’s gaze head on. “I think you need to leave, or I’ll
call the cops.” She pulled out her cell phone and lit up the screen to prove
her point. The guy didn’t have to know she was bluffing. She didn’t want the
cops here anymore than he probably did.He didn’t quite
react the way she thought he would. Oh no, he had the audacity to laugh, a deep
guttural laugh. “You amuse me human woman,” he told her.“Human woman?”
Okay, this nut-job was off his meds. “Fine, you stay here, and this human woman
will say good evening. It’s been a long day. I need to head back to my
spaceship before E.T. calls home and tells Mom and Dad I’m late.”The man’s brows
furrowed, deep creases marring his forehead. Maybe she loaded on the crapola a
little thick. It was best to end this conversation and get out of Africa—as her
father would say—and make like a cheetah on the hunt. She took a few cautious
steps toward the front door.“You will halt,”
he demanded with his palm up as if his stance alone could stop her.Well, yep it
did, for a full three seconds. She knew some self-defense moves, but this guy
was built like he lifted weights in his sleep just so his bulk didn’t decrease
in the middle of the night. It didn’t appear like the front door was an option,
but… her gaze latched onto the window next to it. “Oh, hell.” She charged and
prayed this old building hadn’t been refurbished with safety glass.Otherwise, this
stunt was really going to hurt.
