#SixSunday — Dessert Anyone? (Purely Relative #4)

Categories:

Welcome to “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you for visiting and especially for any comments you might feel inclined to offer. Yes, I changed my blog theme, just temporarily for Halloween. I thought it was rather fun.

Today’s six comes once again from a little novelette I’m writing as a companion to my debut novel, The P.U.R.E. Jon and Gayle are dining at Jon’s parents’ home. Gayle is being a bit introspective now that all the initial awkwardness is beginning to fade.

[Jon] squeezed my knee in response, stroking the flesh with his thumb. Oh boy, someone was already warming up for dessert. He flashed his shark-like smile, no doubt picturing me as the cherry on top. With a home-cooked meal in his belly, his reserves fully charged, the evening promised to be quite energetic once the turkey drugs wore off. My giblets warmed at the thought of a warm and sated Jon stretched out in my bed, that same predatory smile affixed to his face. If only I didn’t have to pee like a racehorse on steroids.

Gayle, Gayle, Gayle…only you can end a sexy song on a coarse note.

Be sure to check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more tantalizing snippets from some very talented writers.

  Ha! I never thought about it that way, but alas in this instance it’s more likely caused by too much iced tea and nerves. Thanks, SJ

LOL Yes, having to use the washroom would definitely interrupt his plans. Nice six!

  Ah, but a whole new plot arc is created in that detour, believe it or not. I write a lot of bathroom scenes for some reason…hmm.

Gayle knows how to break a mood, doesn’t she??

Love the little thumb action from Jon. He’s such a stud.

Turkey drugs, giblets and peeing like racehorses on steroids always set the stage for a romantic evening.

Very amusing. I loved that the language was s unromantic, even though she was having romantic thoughts! Great 6.

  LOL, thanks. Yeah, Gayle is a very earthy kind of gal, but when she’s in, she’s in deep.

Honestly, only you could make “giblets” sound remotely sexy You blend humor and hotness so well. xoxo

  Thanks, Darlin’. Giblets was a last minute tweak actually. I made it last night but forgot to hit update on my post so noticed it being wrong after the post went live this AM. I think first few viewers read “innards”.

Fun 6, loved the voice here, from ‘turkey drugs’ to warming her giblets to the very character-revealing last sentence!

Sins of Our Mothers (NaNo 2010)

Sample text:
The trajectory of those thoughts carried her back twenty-five years. She'd been a naive girl fresh out of college, looking for a summer of carefree fun before taking on the strictures of Corporate America. Once upon a time she'd had a passport, hadn't been afraid to leave the country, hadn't been afraid of a lot of things. That girl was dead, long ago buried and she'd hoped, forgotten.

She was wrong.

His Acadian Lady (NaNo 2012)

Sample Text:
Lydia reread the most galling part of all. “… train the newbie…” Dear. God. No. Patience was not her strong suit and training new hires limped somewhere in a similar ghetto of under-developed talents.
