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.

Last line made me laugh! Great voice in these six.
Thanks so much, Lorraine! 🙂
Made me laugh, too!
Thanks, Ana! 🙂
Ha! Nature can call at the worst times, was it caused by this fabulous tidbit: My giblets warmed…
Entertaining 6.
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
Hahaha! Very cute!
Thanks, Dee! 🙂
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.
Great six! It made me laugh at the end 🙂
Thanks, Siren! 🙂
Ha! Love this six. And love the spooky blog – perfect for the season!
Thanks, Melissa. I’m really enjoying this theme too. 🙂
Gayle knows how to break a mood, doesn’t she??
Love the little thumb action from Jon. He’s such a stud. 😉
Jon really is sex on a stick as one reviewer said …. heh-heh.
Funny six with a lot of voice coming through!
Thank you, Susanna! 🙂
This snippet is choke full of fun. Giblets made me giggle!
Happy I made you giggle, Carrie! Thanks for the visit, m’dear. 🙂
Turkey drugs, giblets and peeing like racehorses on steroids always set the stage for a romantic evening.
They certainly do at the Gillian household! 😉 We love turkey, giblets, not so much.
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.
Well I’m laughing. Poor Jon needs to wait. hehehe
Yes, wait quite a bit considering they are still sitting at his parents’ dinner table. Thanks for the visit, E! 🙂
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”.
I was chuckling at that last line. And I’d hate to admit it, but I could relate. lol
I hate to admit it too…but I do tend to write what I know. LOL
hehehehe…enjoyed the humor. Great six 🙂
Thanks, Christine! 🙂
Had to laugh at this one.
Thanks, Sue Ann! 🙂
LOL @ last line! Great!
Haha, thanks. I almost didn’t write it thinking it TMI and a mood breaker.
Jon may be a stud, but she’s definitely controlling the race. Great six!
A lot of truth to this observation.
Fun 6, loved the voice here, from ‘turkey drugs’ to warming her giblets to the very character-revealing last sentence!
Thank you so much, Angela!
Humorous. Fun metaphor.
Funny. and I like the description of his shark smile.
