Had a truly
fall-weather week … to the point we had to turn the heat on. We'll probably get
another brief spell of warmer temperatures before things settle down into
actual fall. Or, we could have snow before Halloween. It's Ohio.
Busy work week with
several projects going at the same time. I did get through a round of my usual
viewing schedule.
Ted Lasso didn't disappoint with Rebecca's reveal and the catalyst for her
finally making it happen ended up being so good. I rather hope Rupert dies in a
fire or maybe gets hit by a double-decker bus in the near future. What a twat.
Keeley continues to make me laugh out loud and I have so much love for her.
Caught another
episode of The Agatha Christie Hour,
which ended up being quite a fun episode even if the whole point was to
gaslight one poor guy into handing over something that didn't even belong to
him.
I picked up where I
left of with Endeavor in season five
and caught back up with the characters. I'm looking forward to more and seeing
where things go.
Started a new
two-part Silent Witness and
thoroughly enjoyed the twists in the episode. I'm not quite sure who the
culprit is and that's always fun for me.
Enjoyed another
episode of Classic Who. Loved seeing
Three's car pulled out of mothballs and the interactions between the brigadier
and the Doctor. So much fun.
Finished up the
first season of Strangest Things and
I'm looking forward to the second. I love seeing how they try to figure out
what the relics are and how they were used.
Started Ms. Marvel and loved the first episode.
I'm very excited to dive into this series. Kamala and Bruno are awesome!
Only Murders in the Building had an awesome episode with the Superfans.
Seriously, I loved so much about how everything played out. Okay, except at the
end. Now I can't wait to find out what happened to the bassoonist. I have so
many theories, but two stand out and I'll share if either one of those is
correct.
Finished up season
three of Blue Heelers and said
good-bye to Wayne. I'm actually kind of glad it was indeed a random act as the
episode title suggested. I'm kind of bummed out that I'll only be able to watch
one more season in order then I'll have to skip to the later seasons. Streaming
sucks sometimes.
Watched another MasterClass lesson with Roxane Gay. She
discussed being a good literary citizen in this one and I enjoyed what she had
to say. Kindness doesn't cost a red cent and being considerate of others is
sometimes a lost gesture that should be the norm instead of the exception.
The Umbrella Academy had another terrific episode. I love how
much chaos there is and also how the characters end up being there for each
other even when they'd rather be anywhere else.
Caught an episode
of Classic Rugrats and laughed out
loud more than once and remembered doing the same when watching with the
kiddos.
Finished off the
week with Batman: The Animated Series and
the introduction of the Clock King. I loved this episode when it originally
aired and enjoyed it again this time around.
That's pretty much
it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Ramona for the Win, book three in an as of yet unnamed series.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Ramona and Melick finally
have their personal relationship on solid ground, but the timing couldn't be
worse. The academy is under attack and it falls to Ramona to save the day by
infiltrating the rival's headquarters by using the downed dragon. She's
confident she can get inside and stop the assaults—if Melick will get out of
her way.
And a preview snippet…
Melick appreciated Ramona's
tactics. Get his mind of her impending departure and have fun at the same time.
He could always count on her to go hard with sex when she didn't want to think
too hard.
He didn't want to either.
Depositing her on the bed, he
didn't waste time, muttering a quick incantation to remove their clothes.
Ramona raised her eyebrows.
"Not like you to cheat." She waited a beat. "I like it."
Scrambling backward, she beckoned to him. "Where were we?"
Melick grinned and crawled up
beside her. "Right about here…" His mouth covered her again and her
hands went around his neck.
He cupped her ass and angled
around so she straddled his thighs. She broke the kiss and planted her palms on
his chest. Rising up, she moved her hips forward and sank down slowly, exactly
the way he loved.
Grasping her waist, his palms
skimmed up her sides. "Great to be on the same page with this." He
flexed his hips, going a little deeper.
Ramona made a low purring sound.
"MmHmm. The one place we always see eye-to-eye." She rocked back and
forth with exquisite slowness.
Melick cupped her breasts, his
thumbs brushing over her nipples. Ramona's head lolled back and she shuddered.
Her fingers curled into her palms and Melick rose up to pull a taut peak
between his lips.
Ramona upped the pace, her breath
rasping out in short bursts. She reached back with one hand to fondle his
balls. Tingling pleasure spread out drifting down his thighs and up along his
spine.
He groaned and thrust upward.
"You know that drives me wild." His hips bucked against hers.
Ramona's lips twisted. "I
like you wild. Give me more." Her pelvis rotated side to side.
Her inner muscles tightened and
added friction around his shaft. Melick dug his feet into the mattress and
pumped harder, giving her what she asked for.
Ramona hummed. "Yeah, that's
it. I'm so close." Her fingers dug into his chest.
Melick urged her on. "Let it
go, Ramona. Come for me." He grasped her thighs, hanging on by a thread.
She shuddered and gasped, rocking
her hips back and forth. "Now, Melick. Come with me."
Stars burst behind his eyelids
and he let her take him with her. His orgasm thrummed through his veins and his
nerve-endings crackled on a blissful wave. No matter what else happened between
them, this would never change.
Ramona collapsed atop his chest
and nuzzled his throat. "We needed that." She shifted sideways and
snuggled up close.
Melick wrapped an arm around her.
"We did. Now it's rest and recharge time. We can jump back in to planning
how to get your dragon under control later."
Ramona yawned and gave a nod.
"Later is good."
With a quick spell, Melick dimmed
the lights and let sleep claim him.
This series is so
much fun. Ramona and Melick are rarely on the same page but they're always in
the same chapter.
That's it for this
week.
Cheers!
Skye
