Good morning! Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver!
It’s a beautiful day and I’m in a gorgeous woods located
in the world of Falling for Fall. Though it’s a warm day, the shade from the
trees keeps the area cool. The scent of dirt and vegetation is so refreshing.
As lovely and natural as this world is, there’s a hint of magic as well.
As a book diver, normally I’m not surprised by much, but
sitting here in a chair of roots conjured right from the ground by the
incredible man I’m talking to, I can’t help feeling amazed.
Theo, The Green Man of the Forest, has a devilish spark
in his eyes. His russet hair is as wild as the forest itself. He carries the
scent of bonfires and although he’s lounging back in his own root chair, his
foot taps a bit restlessly and his sexy hands toy with the gnarly arm rests. I
can almost feel his energy.
SBD: Good morning, Theo. Thank you for talking to us
today. You have an interesting career as a paranormal investigator. How did you
get into that?
Theo: Oh, you know how it is. You humans muddle things about
and need someone tall, dark and handsome to take care of things for you.
(Smirks.) Seriously, though, we have crime in both of our worlds, so whose
better to protect you than a forest god?
SBD: I can’t argue with that. What can you tell us about
your partner Autumn?
Theo: When we have a case that involves humans, we have to
have a human investigator in on it. Autumn is tough and gets the job done.
She’s saved my ass plenty of times. Or was she just looking at my ass? You
know, I can’t remember. (He smirks again.)
Theo’s flirty sense of humor is infectious. I find
myself relaxing in his presence.
SBD: What’s one of Autumn’s sexiest attributes?
Theo: Chestnut hair, glowing amber eyes, squeezable—ah, you
know. She’s the whole package. You’d think she’s fae-born, she’s so damn sexy. And
she’s all mine. She just doesn’t know it yet.
SBD: What three words do you think Autumn would use to
describe you?
Theo: Gorgeous, sexy and irresistible? Maybe in my dreams!
(He grudgingly shrugs.) Okay, you got me. She’d probably say incorrigible,
insufferable and a horndog!
At least he’s honest, but I can’t help thinking that
Autumn probably would describe him with the first three words as well as the
last. It’s hard to believe she won’t respond to this guy who obviously admires
and desires her.
SBD: Can you tell us anything about the case you and
Autumn are working on now, or is that not allowed?
Theo: We’re working on solving a case about human men
turning into weird, dragon-like creatures at the altar. I had some suspects in
mind, but I think Autumn has a really good lead we’re going to follow.
SBD: Sounds dangerous but exciting! Would you share one
of your favorite excerpts from Falling for Fall?
Theo: Sure! Here’s the first page. I could give you the excerpt
where I go invisible and seduce Autumn in front of a bunch of people, but I
think she might object to that. (He winks.)
Freezing. I’m freezing.
My cold feet bounce left, then right. My tits follow in
fashion.
“Locked out, I see.” Theo’s smirk peers out from inside an
oak tree. Of course the Green Man would show up while I’m wearing nothing but a
Journey t-shirt. Shivering, I cover my ass.
The giant armholes in the shirt dip lower, giving the forest
god a peek of my left breast. I clutch my little knapsack over my butt but it
doesn’t cover up much.
“I could warm you up, Autumn,” he offers, the crisp scent of
the season on his breath as he saunters toward me.
Before I know it, there are leaves in my hair, too. When did
he get so close?
“Theo, you’re horrible,” I gasp, half-heartedly shoving at
him. His warm brown eyes sparkle at me as they pointedly drop from my gaze to
my breasts. Smirking, he bunches my t-shirt behind my back with one hand,
stretching it even more tautly against me.
“Why would a capable detective from the St. Louis Paranormal
Investigation Unit lock herself out of her own house on this frosty fall
morning, mmm?” A laugh rumbles in his chest as his wide, calloused fingers
caress my face.
“To tumble in the leaves with a horny forest god?” I ask,
jutting out my chest for good measure. He licks his lips as my nipples poke up
at him, and I can’t help but grin.
“So it would seem.” Theo’s freckles, which make him look in
his twenties rather than thousands of years old, are clear in view as his face
nears my own. Early morning sunlight shines off his russet crop of hair, nearly
blinding me in a bold display of autumn color. I close my eyes, open my mouth
and lean in to meet him.
Lips barely grazing mine, Theo whispers, “But we have more
important things to do than tumble in the leaves.”
Sounds like a great adventure!
At that moment, Theo receives a call from Autumn. I wish
I could stick around to meet her too, but it sounds like they’re going to be
pretty busy, not to mention the Book Diver magic is calling me away. I hope
that someday I can revisit this world and maybe talk to Autumn as well. In the
meantime, I’d like to find out what happens to her and Theo. If you would to,
