Today’s clip, from Rocky Mountain Rose, involves a very feisty redhead and the love of her life (though she doesn’t know it yet)… oh, and a projectile chamber pot
***
He reached for her, but she dodged away. Looking for a weapon during her escape, she stooped and caught up a chamber pot and threw it. Lyle ducked and the missile bounced against the wall, coming to rest by his foot with a clatter. Rose backed away, panting, as Lyle looked slowly from her missile to her face, his blue eyes flashing with anger.
“You’re fortunate that you missed. And that it was empty.” The quiet way he spoke sent shivers up and down her spine; she knew he was close to the breaking point. But she was never one to concede defeat.
“It was your good fortune, not mine,” she shot back with a toss of her red hair. Lyle strode forward, and this time Rose was too slow. The tall man grabbed her arm and swung her towards the bed. In a second, Rose found herself face down on the quilt, one arm twisted behind her.
“What are you doing? Bastard…” Her screams were muffled by the blanket.
“Teaching you some manners,” Lyle ground out, holding her down with one hand as the other ripped up her skirts. “Seems you didn’t learn the first time.” Rose felt air on her bare skin and stilled in shock.
***** More from this scene here *****
Ever since she was young, Rose longed for a handsome prince to come and rescue her from her life as a saloon girl. By the time Lyle Wilder shows up, Rose has grown into a breathtaking but jaded beauty who’s vowed never to fall in love. When an evil man sets his designs on Rose, it’s up to Lyle to rescue her. He saves her life, and carries her, kicking and screaming, to safety. Despite her fiery temper, he vows to protect her, even if it means disciplining her to keep her by his side and spanking her bottom when she breaks the rules he’s set to keep her alive.
Will Rose let her heart thaw enough to trust him? And can Lyle convince this wild rose that he’s the hero she’s been waiting for all along?
Set in the 1860s Wild West, the Rocky Mountain Bride Series follows the lives of mail order brides and the strong frontier men who take them in hand.
I love that scene! A chamber pot is an incredibly handy thing to have nearby to throw at ridiculous men.
When will we women learn, no matter the provocation, if we throw things, it won’t end pretty! lol
Great scene! I’m assuming it was a metal chamberpot, not a ceramic one? LOL that is such a great thing to throw! I feel sorry for her now though …
A chamber pot – that’s a heavy and packs a punch. She’s not going to get away with that lightly.
She is feisty, that’s for sure. Though I’m sure she’s going through one of those moments when you wish you’d stayed your hand, or your aim was better.
