#8Sunday #SexySnippets #WeekendWritingWarriors: Beauty in the Beast #fantasy #power

Happy Sunday, lovelies!
Well, as it turned out, last week I posted my snippet but forgot to sign up to the Linky List of Weekend Writing Warriors. *facepalm* My head has not been in the right place. Fortunately, I think this week I've done it right. LOL 
In this snippet, Morgana and Christopher are discussing the meaning of power. Their views might be a little different...

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"How do you influence others with your power, Mr. Bexley? By bewitching them? Playing with their emotions and physical needs, is that what you do? Is that what you would consider power? To have a woman lay in your bed because you have bewitched her?"
"Yes, Miss Wiles. That is power. To have the ability to influence others to do your will. To have a woman lay in your bed because I have bewitched her is a demonstration of my power. I can do that and more, and as you well know, so could your mother."

Beauty in the Beast
Light will become shadow. Love will become hate. Good will become evil. The Darkness is here. There will be no escape.
Morgana Wiles has spent her life, alongside her mother, fighting against the arrival of the creature known as The Darkness. Unfortunately, neither of them were able to stop him and now he's here, ready to destroy all that is good in the world. Morgana must face him, but now that the time has come, she finds that things are not as simple. Her mother is gone, self-doubt is creeping in, and her visions are unclear. To make matters worse, a man with evil intent has entered her life and is bent on complicating her mission. Will she be able to resist him in time to fight The Darkness or will she succumb and become that which she despises?
Christopher Bexley is no gentleman. He enjoys trickery, deceit, mischief and above all seduction. Sexual intercourse is the greatest source of power there is or at least there was, until he heard about the Gem. Now that he has discovered there's a stone that can make him the most powerful magic user of all time, he must have it. The only problem is that the only other person that might know where it is, is a stickler for rules and being good. Morgana is too innocent for his liking, and there's only one thing he can do to change that: corrupt her.

  1. Well, he doesn't seem the least bit apologetic. I wouldn't turn my back on this guy!

  2. A very good demonstration that power corrupts. Mr Bexley comes across as a very dangerous character - but interestingly, it seems that Miss Wiles may be equally powerful.

  3. I prefer equal power, folks. More fun.

  4. Which raises the question that Mr. Bexley is ignoring - if you force someone to do your will against their will, you haven't really 'won' when it comes to the heart and mind. Interesting debate they're having - great snippet!

  5. Wow, great snippet. "And so could your mother." What a powerful way to tie up the end!

  7. This would always be a disconcerting thing to learn about one's mother, but especially in this sexual context.

  9. Well, at least he's being honest... right? And great ending line. :)

  10. Hmm, interesting Elyzabeth. Semantics. Some would call his power...others may call it trickery :-) He is a trickster of sorts. I'm actually dealing with this right now in the WIP I've been excerpting from. :-)
