From A Work In Progress, Dancer of the Nile
Nima the dancer and Kamin, the other Egyptian prisoner, have escaped the Hyksos in a stolen chariot. The chariot crashes and their pursuers will be upon them any moment.
Putting his hand under her elbow, Kamin pulled her to her feet and gave her a gentle push toward the overturned chariot. “Crawl under there and stay put, you hear me? They won’t be able to get at you without fighting their way through me and I won’t die easily.”
Nima scrutinized the oncoming chariots, hearing the guttural war cries of the Hyksos warriors. “You can’t possibly defeat all those men – “
He stopped her with a kiss, tugging her body against his for a brief moment, as he said, “If I’m fighting for you, I can.”

Very good! Love that last line.
Dee, Vivien and Babette, thanks for the comments! I love that you love the hero and the way he thinks!
I hope he has a plan in mind!
Oooh…love the chivalrous man. 😉
Action-packed and endearing at the same time. I want to play “chariot” with my hubby and see if he’s nearly as chivalrous. 🙂
Oh, so sweet (in a heart-stopping sort of way!). Fingers crossed that he pulls it off.
True love vs impossible odds. Always a great set of combatants! -nK
