Welcome to week 73nd
week of My
Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is A Sexy Sleigh Ride and it’s all
about a special ride, whether it be in Santa’s Sleigh or something more
traditional. Here in Austria, the mountains are filled with fantastic sleighs
that one can hire and take an awesome ride. Except maybe not this year.
Like last week where I’ve
decided that weather was interesting here in Austria, we’ve had yet another development.
It is so warm right now it’s unreal. Normally this time of year, we’ve had a
few very cold days. Actually, quite a few. Not so this year as we’ve had maybe
10 days total where it’s been really cold. We’ve had odd days of fog, rain and
things like that but nothing to really indicate winter. At least, not on a
normal scale. This is more like the winters that I’ve dealt with in the US
southwest than in Europe.
Just yesterday, my husband
noticed in the newspaper that this is a widespread problem since there is no
snow in the ski resorts here. Now, I’ve seen that where I come from but not
here. Here, there’s always been snow for the resorts. Maybe not in the city but
always the mountains.
Our youngest and his
girlfriend arrived this week. I’ve been teasing them that they brought the heat
with them. The sun has been shining and other than the occasional wind, you
wouldn’t know it’s even winter. Still, the Christkindlmarkts are in full swing
and at least the season feels like it should. Other than the snow.
And about that giveaway…just
go to my other blog www.awriterinvienna.blogspot.com
to see what it’s all about…it’s part of a multi-author reader holiday giveaway
spree. Every author on the list over there is giving something to their
readers. I’m giving 5 gifts to my readers all over the world. Yes, you heard me
right. I will ship to you no matter where you live. Be aware, you do have to do
one thing from the list, as well as the fact you won’t get it before Christmas.
I’m so slow this year and I totally apologize for being behind the curve but I
think you’ll enjoy what I’m giving away.
This week, I’m again sharing
sexy seven paragraphs from my book The
View From Santa’s Sleigh. I know I
use it a lot but it is the only one I have that actually has a sleigh ride in
it. More than one really. There’s the one where Santa takes Tessa to the North
Pole, where Eggther brings her back home and the one where Jedrick comes to
show his love for her. That’s the one I’m using this week. Here’s the setup:
Tessa, very let
down by love, is surprised to find herself comforted by the red-suited man
himself on Christmas Eve. Thinking that he is the figment of her slightly tipsy
mind, she pours her heart out to him hoping for just a little love,
understanding and a good sexual encounter. Tessa gets more than she bargained
for with an elf named Jedrick and both get the Christmas present of a lifetime.
In only a short time, they find themselves realizing their love is for more
than just the holiday season and more than just the sexual romp they had
envisioned.
But Tessa has
obligations in the real world and Jedrick needs to begin designs for next year.
He gives Tessa a very special locket, telling her to use it anytime and he will
come right away. Once back in her world, Tessa finds it has lost its charm and
knows that her place is with the elf she loves, Jedrick. Their very humorous
love-story is told amidst the backdrop of a post Christmas North Pole and the
winter in Reno
I’m just going to point out
that this was a wonderful series to write. I love building this world with my elves
and am going to get back to it very, very soon. It has Scotland in it and I’ve
been too far away from that country recently. I hope you find the wonder of Santa’s
Elves, Scotland, love and Christmas just as appealing as I do!
Jedrick donned his parka in
record speed and was in the sleigh before anyone could blink an eye.
“Come on, boys, she summoned me,” he
yelled at the reindeer.
As soon as they were airborne, he
put the weather bubble around them to keep them from the elements. The reindeer
were quite quick in their task and within a few minutes they were perched on
the top of Tessa’s house while still maintaining their cover. Standing by the
chimney, he knew it was now or never. Laying a finger on the side of his nose,
he jumped straight in and thanked the gods that his elven magic allowed him to
walk through fire. Crouching at the bottom, he inched forward and stood
brushing himself off.
“Wow,” Angie said, eyeing the guy
who emerged from their fireplace without a burn mark on him. She took a quick
glance at Tessa. “You going to introduce us?”
Tessa sat there with her mouth
hanging open. She swore silently to herself that he’d never looked better.
Jedrick stood before them in what could be described as a poet’s shirt and
jeans. The blue shirt was embroidered with such intricate patterns she felt
almost mesmerized by it.
“What? Is it too much?” He rubbed
his hand down his front.
“No. It’s beautiful. You’re
beautiful,” she murmured.
