This is from my new
W.I.P., and completely unedited - please excuse any errors:
Her wrists burned
from the restraints, her face felt two times too big, and her breathing was
labored. Chandra knew she’d been worked over real well, now if only she could
remember some of the details.
She remembered dinner
out. There had been dancing at a club, some drinks, and then nothing.
Absolutely, nothing. A big ass blank spot in her memory.
No, wait. A voice
asking questions, over and over again. Pain, she definitely recalled some pain.
Nothing like the training she’d gone through to withstand interrogations of
course, but it had made it onto her radar.
With care she worked
at prying her eyelids open. When that didn’t work she went with a little more
force. Didn’t really help, but she did gain a tiny slit of a view. Not that the
view was worth writing home about. Concrete walls, and floor. Solid looking
door with a chair sitting next to it, and her. There appeared to be some form
of light, likely a single bulb given how weak it appeared to be.
Then again, it could
be her shitty eyesight, and all those little dancing spots. Trying to tip her
head back for a look at what had her hands caught proved too much. She was
weak, and sore, her mouth was parched, and her head swam. Which meant she’d
been there for a damn long time. Not good, not good at all.
The door creaked
open, just like in all those good old fashioned horror movies, giving a nice
squeal at the end. Set quite the mood for whatever was going on.
“Wake her up,” a
voice said. Male, eastern European accent, cultured with a smooth edge of
brutality. Her host likely.
A wave of icy cold
water hit her body causing her to jolt, and gasp. It also told her that she
didn’t have a hell of a lot of clothing on, a bra and panties would be her
guess. Damn that seriously sucked, especially when she couldn’t remember
anything of importance.
Someone grabbed a
fistful of her hair, and yanked her head back. Oh, hey, she was dangling from
the ceiling from some sort of hook that reminded her of those used for hanging
beef. Not a great comparison, but her brain was a little sluggish. Her hands
were cuffed with some sort of leather banding, that then was looped over the
hook, and kept her up on her feet. Nifty little setup really.
“Ms. Dubois,” the
cultured voice said. “Shall we begin again?”

Question: What happens next in the above scene?
Torture continue? Poor thing. I wished she have more like pleasurable torture than this.
ReplyDeleteneringiukasss@gmail.com
Good point, Neringa! Well, I guess everyone will have to wait and see what happens. ;)
DeleteAnd what kind of book is this? Sounds really good. I want a name. Please!
ReplyDeleteNeginga, it's the 5th book in my C&M Security series - tentatively named "Dangerous Pasts". It's still in the process of being written - though I am long past this point of the story. Not sure when it will come out - but should be some time this year.
DeleteThanks. Going to add to my TBR list. Its really catched my attention.
DeleteGlad to hear it! I like pulling new readers into the series.
Deletei am betting the torture continues!
ReplyDeleteparisfan_ca@yahoo.com
LOL! Well, I can't say one way or another. Not yet anyway.
DeleteTorture continues, then the Hero comes and saves the day! I hope! Can't wait for this book Moira!!
ReplyDeletesclf1@live.com
Well, that's always the hope isn't it? We'll all have to wait and see what's going on.
DeleteShe was being tortured for information and while being tortured she threw up all over her capture.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this sounds great.
haleymiller354@yahoo.com
LOL! That's definitely creative, Haley.
DeleteI think she is going to get a little more reason into her head and figure how to get out of this situation and make it more advantageous to herself.
ReplyDeletecherylslife67(at)charter(dot)net
Nice, Cheryl! A strong, independent woman's perspective, good choice.
DeleteThe torture continues, but then there is an explosion and her rescue team storms in.
ReplyDeleteskpetal at hotmail dot com
Nice, Jean. Simple, to the point, and even has a built in distraction.
DeleteThe torture will continue and then he is called away because the compound is under attack and she gets rescued by a ex-lover. lavidabrisco(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteOooh, now there's a twist, Vida!
DeleteHopefully someone or ones suddenly come through the door and rescues her. I do not want her torture to continue.
ReplyDeleteKyratinker36@gmail.com
I don't either, Kyra. Sadly I can't tell you what does happens though - sorry!
DeleteHe interrogates her some more, but he's really the good guy so something is going to happen so they can get away.
ReplyDeleteacm05atjuno.com
Oh my, now there's a twist no one would see coming! Good one Anne :)
DeleteSO HOT. I bet she remembers this round. I bet the more he give her the more she turned on and his body starts to be in tuned with her.
ReplyDeletedennisntabitha28@yahoo.com
That would definitely be a twist, Tabitha
DeleteSadly, the torture continues. marie.mattingly88@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThat would be rather sad wouldn’t it?
DeleteCongrats on all of your success! The torture will continue but she'll wait it out, find an advantage, kick ass and bring the place down to its knees. A bit of payback out be in order. An ex-lover, she believed dead, comes into the building, helps take out the rest of the bad guys. Boy! He'll have a lot of explaining to do! Thank you for the fantastic hop!
ReplyDeleteshadowluvs2read(at)gmail(dot)com
Hi Shadow, thank you for participating! I like how you think though.
DeleteThey ask her more questions that she can't think to answer because her brain is foggy, & they continue to try torture her, but a hot beefy man bust through the door & takes out the guys & rescues her. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Take care & I hope you have a great day! =)

Nice idea there, Brandi. Like the idea of the man-candy!
DeleteI'm guessing more questions....more pain...and she tells them nothing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the amazing giveaway!
