Excerpt from Dancing with the Dangerous Prince
Breathing evenly, heart pounding, feet moving, chilly, moist air whooshing past her face and arms to cool her off….this was the best time of the morning. Ciara felt her feet thump along the soft dirt, her body relishing the exercise of a good, long run. There was nothing better than a run through the woods to clear one’s mind, get ready for the upcoming day. The pace wasn’t always steady, but this path she’d discovered never failed to make her body sing with the effort as she raced through the trees.
Whenever worries about the future started to enter her mind, of what might happen when she had to leave this job at the end of the week, she pushed herself harder. This wasn’t a time to worry about anything. This was her time to just be a part of nature, part of the world around her.
She was rounding a corner and saw the movement off in the distance, which was odd since normally, she was the only one out here this early. It was predawn and the horizon was filled with silver highlights as the sun started to break through the early morning haze.
The man she saw was…shocking! He was so impressive that she actually blinked, just to see if perhaps her mind was playing tricks on her. He literally stopped her in her tracks
Woah, her mind thought as the man in the distance pulled himself up the cliff’s edge. His arm muscles bulged with the effort, along with the ones in his back. Ciara watched as….
Where had that stump come from? Looking down, she quickly regained her footing then hurriedly glanced back up toward where she’d seen the man. He was gone!
Shoot, she thought. Her eyes scanned the horizon but nothing else moved. Where had he gone so quickly?
Picking up her pace once more, she ran her usual route along the lake, but she had a hard time getting back into the rhythm. And it was all because of that man! He’d been absolutely divine! Never had she seen such a perfectly formed male specimen.
Perhaps she’d just imagined him. This was a pretty remote part of the woods. The summer camp where she worked was careful about the surrounding area, going on hikes only in groups because of potential wild animals. The kids were normally pretty loud, scaring off any bears or other animals but one never knew and so the staff was always careful.
But this man was out there in the distance alone.
Shaking her head, thinking she had just imagined the man pulling himself up onto the cliff, she pushed herself harder, wanting to finish her run and shower before the summer camp kids woke up. As a camp counselor, it took a lot of energy and focus to keep these kids moving in the right direction. She taught them camping, swimming, archery, arts and crafts and all the other activities that the brochure promised to the parents.
Zoran stood on the cliff, looking down at the lake. The silence and stillness of the hazy morning soothed the bitter stress of the past year. Tensions were rising between his country and its neighbors – countries that had been friendly for decades. But out here with the trees and the mountains, the soothing lake and the rising sun, things were peaceful and calm. The world was kind and gentle when he looked out upon the valley. He had one week to himself each year and he needed
