Rafael is one of God’s Four Winds, the Archangel of
Healing. He has answered the countless
prayers for healing of loved ones, wondering what it was about the emotion that
made humans willing to sacrifice so much.
Grace is a lifeguard who has been on Rafe’s radar since she
lost a little boy three years ago. What
she doesn’t realize is the green haze that comes over her during a rescue is
actually a diving presence who’s about to give up his celestial body to become
a very real entity in her life.
While Grace is trying to overcome her own demon, Rafe is
discovering his own sexuality, but there’s a darker presence making himself
known. The Deceiver wants what Rafe is
getting, and he’ll do whatever it takes to have her.
Excerpt from Falling for Grace:
Rafe
was in the bathroom, brushing his teeth the next morning, reflecting on his
corporeal body.
Teeth
brushing. That wasn't a normal thing for
him. Neither was showering. Or shaving.
Usually,
his work was done on a different realm.
He traveled in the cosmic soup, visiting people in their dreams, subconsciously,
or their conscious minds. He became a
temporary part of their psyche. He
dropped in on surgeons during surgery, to help guide shaky, sleep-deprived
hands. Rafe had passed out ideas to the
stumped healers, in a sudden flash of brilliance. He visited dreams. He was responsible for many 'Eureka!'
moments.
Rarely,
had he come to earth in a human body.
He'd been visiting Grace during saves for the past three years in her
mind, allowing her to do her job the way she had been trained to do, only
providing moral support. He hadn't had
to step in with her, yet.
Head-hopping
was one of his many talents. He had the
ability to jump inside of another person's head and sense what they were
thinking. He didn't get clear visions,
only vague perceptions. As tempting as
it was to be inside her mind all the time, he hadn't done it to Grace.
Much.
He
enjoyed having a body. It felt
good. He stood in front of the mirror, a
towel wrapped around his waist, sensing his body. He could feel the muscles in his arm and
shoulder flex as he brushed, enjoyed the feel of the bristles against his teeth
and tongue. He flexed his toes against
the bathmat, scrunching them into the thick pile, feeling his calves bunch. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes,
delighted at the various ways that the human body secreted by-products. Marvelous.
The
delight in feeling himself was interrupted by Grace opening the bathroom door,
surprising him. He turned to her, and
gaped, undone by what he saw.
She
was standing there, bleary-eyed, wearing nothing but a knit camisole and a pair
of the tiniest bikini panties he'd ever seen on a woman in the flesh. He was frozen, eyes wide, toothbrush in his
mouth, toothpaste foaming and dripping, looking like a rabid dog. He was aware of his groin muscles tightening,
his testicles shrinking abruptly.
Grace
was frozen too. He saw her jaw drop,
framing her wide luscious mouth in a perfect O.
Her blue eyes widened, and an attractive blush crawled up her chest to
her cheeks. Her wide eyes traveled from
his face down his torso, to the towel wrapped around his waist before dropping
to her feet, where they began the climb up her own body.
She
snapped her mouth shut, and she began to sputter as realization dawned.
"I-I'm
so sorry. I should have
knocked." Her hands went to cover
herself. "I'm not used to a man
living here." Turning, she tossed
over her shoulder as she darted out of the bathroom, "I'll just use the
other one!"
Chuckling
to himself, Rafe looked down, noticing his erection, making a tent out of his
towel. The tightness in his groin should
have been a give away, but he'd been so taken aback by her appearance in the
doorway that he hadn't taken in the implications of his blood flow altering its
course from his testicles to other places.
Spitting
out the toothpaste and rinsing his mouth, Rafe whistled as he went into his
room to dress for the day. It would be
exciting, he was sure.
