Synopsis
For years Snow has been running from the queen and the razor-edged knife of the Huntsman, Max. Hiding in her new world, Snow is thrust back into fairytale politics when Max finds her. Torn between fear and love, will Snow surrender her heart to the one man she can’t trust?
I was making noise like
a drunken elephant. I cringed as my boots squeaked through the mud and other
unmentionables, but I didn’t slow my pace any. Thunderous footsteps echoed
behind me as Max taunted me.
“Snow White, I’m going
to geeet yooouuuu. Come here, you sexy little thing.”
I let out a crack of
laughter and shot him the finger. But I kept running. Once I reached the
entrance, I shimmied up the rocks, but a vise-like grip grabbed my ankle and
pulled me down. We crashed into the sewer, me on top of Max and both of us
cursing up a blue streak.
“Max! Gross!” I
struggled to get out his grip without having to stab him. I was going to have
to take a decon bath and get a tetanus shot after all this was done.
He laughed maniacally,
but didn’t let his grip up. “Keep the wiggling up, lass, and I’ll take you in
this sewer.”
“Ugh.” As much as I
wanted him, I didn’t think sewer monkey love would ever be worth it.
I stopped wriggling, and
stared at him, those beautiful green eyes looking back at me deep with
emotions. I gave him a brilliant smile, straightened my neck, and head-butted
him in the nose with my forehead as hard as I could.
His shout of pain made
me feel a tad guilty for being such a dirty fighter, literally, but I’d given
him what he wanted in order to keep him safe—a giant black eye that he could
take back to Naomi. His grip relinquished as he continued to groan, and I
scrambled off him and out of the dungeon. As I stood above the entrance looking
down, Max had one hand over his bloody nose, his eyes swelling and tearing up
with both amusement and pain. He shook his head at me as a blood-filled smile
quirked his lips.
“Crazy bitch,” he
murmured.
I gave him a wave and
left him lying there. His pained laughter followed me out.
