Enchanting Excerpt:
The evening was hot and
humid—true South Louisiana weather. Nonetheless, Jordan continued to dance away
her troubles. Soon, the denseness of the crowd intensified the temperature.
When the tempo of the music slowed, relief rushed over her. This ballad
presented the perfect opportunity to sneak off the dance floor. Now she could
catch her breath. Jordan strategically mingled at various tables, leaving a few
cordial words at each one. With polite gestures, she worked her way from the
crowd's core. Beyond the music stage, she spotted a sweet shady spot.
While she imagined herself
seated in the space, someone groped her from the rear. Shocked, Jordan jumped.
Simultaneously, the person pinned her arms in front of her. Jordan panicked—her
body was being held against her will. Movements restricted, her attacker
flipped her around with ease. He pressed his face against hers, and then moved
his lips backwards until they rested upon her ear.
"Calm down,
Senator," he said gruffly.
The sound of the male’s
voice made her cringe. “Luther. Are. You. Insane?" In her unflattering
position, Jordan tried constantly to escape without garnering attention.
However, the fifty-year-old, former boxer was much too strong. He crushed her
body against his.
Alcohol oozed from Luther’s
pores and irritated her nose. His arms were locked so tight, that she found it
difficult to breath. When she finally inhaled, his stale odor filled her lungs.
"What’s this all about,
Luther?” She struggled and pushed against him.
