Selena was excited about the bonfire. Back home at the commune, they often had similar gatherings, and she loved them. She was glad that Jade had agreed to join her. She hadn\u2019t been certain he\u2019d want to go.<\/p>\n
It was dark when they walked with Genna to the outskirts of the village where the bonfire already blazed and people gathered. Some sat on blankets on the ground while others mingled around a table spread with punch and snacks. A man and a woman played their guitars while another man sang.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis reminds me of home,\u201d Selena said, taking Jade\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
He smiled slightly, his gaze meeting hers before he looked around. Soon they were mixing with the others\u2014or rather Selena was. Jade remained close to her the entire time. Though he answered questions directed at him, he was mostly quiet, except for inquiries about the other priests who had been to the village. Selena guessed he was searching for information about why no priests were stationed there now, and if they had mentioned the significance of the metal supply in Blue Fish Bay.<\/p>\n
After about an hour, everyone gathered around the fire and took turns singing. Sometimes the guitarists accompanied them. Other times they loaned their instruments to villagers who also played. Selena happily took a turn singing while playing. When she finished, she returned the guitar to the woman who had loaned it to her, but instead of keeping it, the woman offered it to Jade.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Thank you,\u201d Jade said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you can sing, Jade,\u201d Selena said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI chant. There\u2019s a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen do that,\u201d Garth said. \u201cWe could use some actual culture around here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several people chuckled while others grumbled at those words.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a song I know that\u2019s not a chant.\u201d Jade reached for the guitar.<\/p>\n
This genuinely surprised Selena. \u201cYou play?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA little. Shayne taught me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Selena smiled. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t look so happy. Once I start, you\u2019ll probably regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?<\/p>\n Jade and Selena are as different as two people can be, but to facilitate an alliance between their worlds, they engage in a cultural exchange. With their galaxy in danger from a planet that wants to conquer or destroy all others, they realize the importance of their assignment, but it is difficult for a warrior priest and a nonviolent priestess to understand each other.<\/p>\n Selena is both attracted and appalled by his old school masculinity, and Jade is tempted to break his vow of celibacy until marriage due to his powerful desire for her. Will this unlikely pair not only find common ground, but unconditional love?<\/p>\n Warrior Priest is on sale for $0.99 until June 30th at\u00a0 Amazon<\/a> \/\u00a0Smashwords<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n
