Welcome to week 56 at My Sexy Saturday and
this week all about what happens after the end is written. I had to really
think about this because I wasn’t sure I had anything about characters once I
said the end. Then I remembered my wonderful Santa’s Elves series. This series
is basically a family saga that starts when a Bostonian socialite falls in love
with one of Santa’s Elves. The thing is you never see the original couples’
story except through snippets in the other books.
It is a wonderful story that
starts with Santa and a sleigh. It’s all about the original couples six
children and how they fall in love. Each of their children are very different
and therefore has a very different love story.
This week has actually been
very pleasant and it seems as if fall has started. We’ve have a few showers but
nothing like the deluge of last wee. Pup Harry is a happier dog with the
humidity being lowered. He’s full of energy and it makes me want to bottle it
so I can be a millionaire!
How’s it been going in your
neck of the woods? Don’t forget that every comment you make this month will be
entered into my monthly contest for a $20 gift certificate. I’ll have a few
more posts this last week, so don’t forget to drop by and give me your two
cents.
The book that I’m giving you
the snippet from is An Elf’s Desire
though the passage is about more about the parents of this family of elves than
the couple, Fearghus and Aingeal, in
this book. What I want to show is that my original couple, Janice and Bevan,
are still happy after nearly 30 years of being in love. The series has been so
fun to right and I’m glad I did even though I have at least 3 books left in the series. It's about time I got back to it. There are a lot of scenes in Scotland where
the elves ancestral home is. You can get it here
at eXtasy Books. Happy reading!
Then the fun part had started. Gathering every bit of data on
the Locklin family that he could find, he could see problems from the start.
Bevan Locklin had married the human Janice Paine and they had met over thirty
years ago. He had found out she left a very prominent family in Boston to come
here to the North Pole. The why would have to be explored later as there wasn’t
much in the elven record.
The Locklins were very prolific and had six children during the
course of their marriage. Fearghus didn’t care that they supposedly loved each
other. Sipping on his second whiskey of the afternoon, sometimes that shouldn’t
even enter the equation, as he well knew. For their children to have so much
latent sexual energy meant it had to come from somewhere. And that somewhere
always started with the parents.
Spinning on the bar stool, he turned to look out over the crowd,
spying Janice Locklin. The woman was in her fifties and as beautiful as the
pictures he had dug up from before her marriage. He could see where Aingeal had
gotten her good looks and tall stature. He watched her a few more moments
realizing that she would be the one he had to convince why he needed to take
her daughter back to Scotland. There was no way he could do his research nor
cap Aingeal’s sexual energy if he were here. Here wasn’t safe.
Sure, Santa had managed to keep them all out of the public eye,
but things could change quickly. Still, the old man wasn’t an elf. He was
something different, something no one had ever been able to put a title on. But
the council had a profound respect for him and demanded all elvenkind show him
the same respect.
“Mind telling me what your business is here, Fearghus?”
He was brought out of his thoughts by the very man he speculated
about. “Kris.”
Santa placed his hand on the bar and leaned in. “I’d rather you
call me Santa.”
He frowned at the old man. The council had been very specific in
their instructions. The man was the ruler of his realm and he was to do
anything and everything the old man said. “Yes, sir, Santa.”
