Guest Post by Molly Snow - Sneak Peek Into Royally
BeSwitched
Hi, Jenny! Thanks
again for having me on your blog. For Chocolate Chunky Munkie, I decided to
share an excerpt from Royally BeSwitched. This is a peek into a private moment
with the peasant girl and the prince--only Noella (the peasant) has switched
bodies with Surla, so she is a black cat! There other sweet moments like this
throughout the book, maybe making this my favorite of the
series.
The prince laid gently back on his bed, propped against the headboard with some pillows. Noella remained as still as possible, laying across his chest, not wanting to ruin her luck. She had never been this close to a boy, let alone a handsome prince.
He took in a deep
breath and sighed, starting to pet her as he looked up at the ceiling. She could
feel his heartbeat against her chest. “What am I going to do, cat?”
Noella remained
quiet, taking in the moment.
“I am eighteen
years old now. Mother and Father expect me to choose a girl for marriage soon.
It is my birthday ball this Friday, and I am not in love with anyone… And there
was a girl the other day…”
Esme came to her
thoughts, and how she had entered his chamber in her seductive dress. Yes,
Esme, she knew.
“My mother was mad
at her, thinking she had purposefully placed a hair in her pie…”
Noella’s heart
skipped. Me!
“The look on that
poor girl’s face. I knew she didn’t do it.”
He
knows! She perked up a
bit.
“I felt terrible
for her. I told Mother to please be easy on her later that night. Mother has had
hard times, and so she can be too hard on others. Earlier that evening I heard
her fighting with my father. He can be very insensitive.” He took a deep breath
in before adding, “I can’t imagine the girl can clean this whole chateau night
and day, sweeping and mopping…”
A purr started up
again. His eyes shifted down to the feline. “Where did you come
from?”
Noella considered
responding to him, like Surla did with her just the other day in the closet. She
held back her strong desire.
“You have a lovely
bell there, cat. You must have belonged to somebody… Is it right for me to keep
you?”
Feeling a sudden
surge of courage, she rubbed her little chin across his chin, purring some
more.
He chuckled. “I
like you, you know that? I would like to keep you.”
She laid the side
of her head into the crevice between his neck and chin, and listened to his
breath.
“I will ask
around if anyone has seen you before. I hope I can keep you. I hope no one says
you are theirs.” He exhaled a strong sigh, and his breath tickled her. The two
laid there a while longer, deep in thought, until they drifted to sleep.
