Welcome to week 85th
week of My
Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is Their Sexy Talk and again, it was
noted that this theme would mean different things for different authors. Don’t
forget to visit on Monday for Monday’s Austria Scoop where I talk all about the
happenings here in Vienna, Austria and Tuesday for My So-Called Writing Life
where I talk about what it truly means to be a writer.
This week, I’m using a story
from my backlist and I’ve chosen a couple who in the beginning were at odds
with each other. The spark was there in spaded but Ardan just didn’t want to
acknowledge it until the end of the book. But through it all, as a reader, I
hope you can tell that they are working toward a tomorrow. The book is the second
in my Santa’s Elves series, The
Thing About Elves, and it’s
one of my all-time favorite stories that I’ve written. Here’s the setup:
It’s been two
years since Angie’s friend, Tessa, got married to Jedrick and introduced her to
his brother, Ardan. From the moment, she saw him she knew he was the man for
her. There’s only one problem…he’s elf…an elf who swears human and elves don’t
mix. But Angie has other plans in mind.
When Ardan asks
her to his house after the delivery of Tessa’s and Jedrick’s twins, she jumps
at the chance. Even though he keeps telling her nothing will happen, they have
been doing this dance for a very long time. And when she teases him by
caressing his body, Ardan knows he’s lost. But love and commitment are more
than just hot sex. Ardan still doesn’t trust human women and Angie is
determined to prove that she is the woman…the only woman…for him. She loves medicine,
the North Pole and him more than anything else in the world.
When Ardan is
summoned to help a hurt elf, he is unavailable and Angie goes in his stead to
prove to him that she loves the community of elves as much as he does. But
something goes terribly wrong and Ardan is left to care for a comatose and
possibly dying Angie. Ardan realizing just how precious this woman is, vows to
prove to her his love is fathomless.
No matter what
the future holds.
This book is a novella and like
I said, I loved writing it. When I finished the book, I had a Joan Wilder
moment and actually cried from being so happy. Yes, it is that heartwarming and
awesome. I hope you enjoy Angie’s story
with my snippet this week of seven sexy paragraphs!
Ardan
snorted. Resist, indeed. “Madam, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Sure
you do. You just don’t want to admit it, big boy. You want me.” She closed her
eyes as if breathing in his scent just like he had done moments before when he
had his back turned to her.
“And I
want you.”
Slowly,
she slid a finger up his leg and under his lab coat. If that hand or finger
went an inch higher, she would know that he lied. Still, he tried to will his
body to obey his commands. Human women were off limits. Angie’s hand continued
its journey up his leg and he knew he was lost. How was he going to explain
this?
She
leaned back, looked up and chuckled. “What do we have here?”
Ardan
almost felt physically sick. He hadn’t let a human woman touch him since
college and here this one was practically in his pants. He cleared his throat.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“And you
call yourself a doctor?” She stood on tiptoes and pulled him down to her.
“Maybe I’ll have to teach you,” she whispered in his ear as her tongue snaked
out and gently caressed the flesh.
