Yeesh. So far, May has
been a very chilly month. Our high yesterday hit forty-five degrees. Brrr. I'm going
to try really hard to remember this when I'm crying because it's eighty-five in
October. Just saying.
I didn't quite get
everything tracked down that I wanted to last week so I'm carrying it over to
this week. I think I'm going to make May my month to get stuff done. And, I'll
be honest, it'll probably spill over into June. Time moves faster than I like
sometimes.
Pretty good work week
all things considered. I closed out a project and came close to finishing the
final steps two others. Finished up a copy edit on a long manuscript and
started a proofread on another. I have a continuation of another project on the
books for this week also. I love to be busy.
Not a bad viewing
week. I got through my usual list of shows, which makes me happy. I didn't get
to watch any of my back burner shows or a concert, but maybe this week.
Started out with
the season-twelve premier of the Brokenwood Mysteries. Thoroughly
enjoyed the episode. Love having the cast of recurring characters making
appearances.
Watched the final
behind the scenes bonus of Foyle's War and enjoyed seeing the effort
that went into creating the battle scene. Should be starting the final season
this week.
Caught the opening
episode of the next Poirot season. Kind of fun to see how little Poirot
enjoyed retirement. And a really good mystery also.
Finished up the
two-part Silent Witness premier. A very twisty story with lots of layers.
I think I'm going to like having the team work at the new Bowman Center.
Elementary ended up being really interesting. I'm
enjoying the Shinwell training and the case ended up being way complicated than
I thought it would be.
Watched the second
episode of Young Justice and I enjoyed seeing the team come together. Looking
forward to more.
Caught another
episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks and, whoo boy. Gotta say Mariner got
shafted. Should be fun and interesting to see how things play out over the rest
of the season.
That's pretty much
it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Rumpled and Worn,
a modern-day twist on the Rumpelstiltskin tale.
Here's the
miniblurb:
Lindie Lands strikes a deal with the Rumpleman—keep her
crazy stalker at bay and she'll hand over the first man she falls for. But when
she finally finds a lasting love with Cole Darrington, she's not willing to
give him up and together they outsmart the Rumpleman.
And a preview snippet…
With a hard dick, bursting to get
free, Cole gave a one-word answer. "Bedroom?" Why not keep things
simple?
Lindie's lip curved in a sexy smile
while her fingers undid the row of buttons on his borrowed shirt. "Thought
you'd never ask."
The fabric played peekaboo with her
breasts and his cock strained against his zipper. He held out a hand and when
her fingers brushed his, he tugged her forward, sweeping an arm under her legs
to whisk her off her feet. Settling her against his chest, her butt perched
over his hard-on, he carried her into his room. His eyes feasted on her
bountiful rack.
Placing her on the bed, he stepped
back and stripped off his shirt. Her heated gaze roamed over him before
fastening on his fingers popping the button of his fly. He unzipped slowly,
amping up the tension. Her breathing went a little shallow when he eased the
denim past his hips. He let the jeans pool at his feet and his erection jutted
out, hard and ready.
She licked her lips. "Oh, my…"
Her gaze met his.
A swell of pride filled him. He
didn't have many complaints, but her opinion mattered. And the approval in her
eyes served to make him even harder.
She sat up and shrugged out of his
shirt, her nipples tightening into taut nubs. He wanted to tease and torment
the dusky peaks with his lips and teeth. She got up on her knees, her fingers
slipping under the waistband of her panties.
Cole strode to the bed.
"Please, let me." He had to touch her.
She gave him a sensual smile and
removed her hands, letting them hang loosely at her sides. He put a knee on the
bed and reached out, feeling like a kid on the winter solstice ready to unwrap
something special. He palmed her ass, loving the way it fit his hand.
She put her arms around his neck,
and he hooked his thumbs under the waistband. Leaning in, he captured her lips
and eased the satiny fabric past her hips. He wrapped an arm around her
and lowered her to the bed, dragging her panties off to let them fall on the
floor.
Her tongue dueled with his,
notching the heat up. He slid a palm over her smooth calf and up along her
thigh. She parted her legs, welcoming the glide of fingers over her slick
folds.
Breaking the kiss, he moaned.
"Oh, sweetness, you're hot and wet."
She flicked her tongue over her
lower lip and nodded. "And so ready." Her fingers circled around his
dick. "But I want a taste first."
Happy to oblige, he maneuvered
around until they were side by side, in opposite directions. "As long as I
can sample, too."
She responded by licking the tip of
his cock then engulfing a large portion of his shaft. He made a hum of
satisfaction before delving between her legs to swipe his tongue along her
labia. Sweet nectar flowed and he added a finger, inserting the digit, loving
the way her walls clamped and held him prisoner. He'd happily stay shackled to
her … for however long she wanted him to.
I really love how
this story is coming together and can't wait to see where it goes.
That's it for this
week.
Cheers!
Skye
