Author Sylvia Day has shared a sneak peek at a tiny portion from her draft of the highly anticipated third installment in the Crossfire Series, Entwined with You. Currently set for release in early May 2013, Entwined with You follows in the wake of the wildly successful Bared to You and Reflected in You.
I’ve noticed some comments around the web regarding the events in the following excerpt, specifically regarding what some view as Eva intentionally ’playing games’ with Gideon. I personally think Eva is being more playful and teasing with Gideon than anything else. Also, I’m getting a ‘clandestine meeting’ vibe from this scene. I’m interested in hearing other’s thoughts …

I weaved my way through writhing bodies, my pulse rate increasing with every step. The music was less loud up here and the air more humid. Sweat glistened on exposed skin and the elevation lent a sense of danger, even though the glass railing surrounding the skywalk was shoulder-high. I was almost to the mirrored section when I was caught around the waist and pulled back into a man’s rolling hips.
Looking over my shoulder, I saw the guy I’d danced with before, the one who’d called me beautiful. I smiled and started dancing, closing my eyes to lose myself in the music. When his hands started to slide over my waist, I caught them, pinning them to my hips with my own. He laughed and dipped his knees, aligning his body with mine.
We were three songs out before I felt the ripple of awareness that told me Gideon was nearby. The electrical charge swept over my skin, heightening every sensation. Abruptly the music was louder, the temperature hotter, the sensuality of the club more arousing.
I smiled and opened my eyes, spotting him arrowing toward me. I was instantly hot for him, my mouth watering as I ate up the sight of him in a dark T-shirt and jeans, his hair pulled back from that breathtaking face. No one seeing him would put him together with Gideon Cross, the international mogul. This guy appeared younger and rougher, distinctive only for his incredible smokin’ hotness. I licked my lips with anticipation, leaning into the guy behind me and rubbing my ass voluptuously into the next roll of his hips.
Gideon’s hands fisted at his sides, his posture aggressive and predatory. He didn’t slow as he neared me, his body on a collision course with mine. Turning, I met him the last step, surging into him. Our bodies crashed together, my arms encircling his shoulders; my hands pulling his head down so I could take his mouth in a wet, hungry kiss.
With a growl, Gideon cupped my ass and yanked me up hard against him, my feet leaving the floor. He bruised my lips with the ferocity of his passion, his tongue filling my mouth with hard, deep plunges that warned me of the violent shades of his lust.
The guy I’d been dancing with came up behind me, his hands in my hair and his lips at my shoulder blade.
Gideon pulled back, his face a gorgeous mask of fury. “Get lost.”
I looked at the guy and gave a shrug. “Thanks for the dance.”
“Anytime, beautiful.” He caught the hips of a girl walking by and moved away.
“Angel.” With a growl, Gideon pressed me into the mirror, his hard thigh thrust between my legs. “You’re a bad girl.”
Shameless and eager, I rode him, gasping at the feel of denim against my tender sex. “Only for you.”
There’s a list of preorder links on Sylvia’s Website, along with all previously released snippets.
I really can’t wait for Entwined with you to be released. In the meantime I bought Eighty days Yellow, Eighty days Blue etc. I’m so dissapointed, it is fulgar to say the least. What do you girls think about this trilogy?
Ooh… Very clandestineesque! The last line says it all… It was for him. Snippets can lead you in directions that are far from the real context of the scene. Hopefully that hooks readers into remembering to get the book when it finally comes out. I would be disappointed if this was Eva playing games so I choose to think this is some kind of role play/fantasy type of thing. We will know in May. I can’t wait!
I get the feeling they can’t be seen together for whatever reason and Eva’s putting on a show for Gideon. Gideon isn’t angry with Eva and Eva isn’t nervous about Gideon seeing another man touching her, so I’m leaning toward her being at the club– maybe one of Gideon’s clubs– to see him and get a reaction out of him because they’re pretending they are broken up and Eva misses him. But it’s so hard to get a real handle on these snippets. We don’t know the context. It’s torture! I’m eagerly anticipating this book!
I think they’re in one of those BDSM clubs, Gideon may even own it. Eva’s finally going to get onto the sex swing. Just a thought…
If you look at the new cover the picture is of luggage tags. Who’s to say that the one underneath says Eva Cross? Perhaps they are honeymooning? The covers of this Crossfire series reflects the content and perhaps no one would recognize Gideon because he looks hot, relaxed and is in another country. The scene was reminiscent of that of Christian and Ana from Fifty Shades (3rd book)…after all Sylvia has admitted to many similarities. Regardless, I’m anxiously awaiting book 3 and am bummed that it comes out in June.
