Standing up she slipped the robe off and tossed in across room. It sailed through the air and landed on her bed.
“Nice throw,” Dillon commented.
“I used to play rounders with my brothers.” She sat back down. “I was pretty good at marbles also.”
“I bet.” Somehow the image of her running around bases and throwing balls at boys didn’t surprise him. Dillon continued his massage.
“You are great with your hands,” she moaned.
“It must come from working with the press all day.”
“You are not this gentle with the press. If you were maybe it would not break so often.”
“Perhaps I’d be more gentle if it were as beautiful and warm as you.”
Ooo I like this – heading toward a ittle steaminess, but not quite there yet! I’m jealous – I could really do with a massage right now!
Great post, Candy!
LOL!! Me too, maybe it would help my back.
Do you suffer with back problems too? Mine’s gone into ‘meltdown’ as I call it and am now classified as medically disabled. Still, it’s giving me more time to write and edit! 🙂
Lovely piece, very enticing!
Thanks Lisa!!
Went to buy it; when’s it out Candy?
This one is out now. I haven’t figured out to add links in here but it’s on amazon and smashwords.
Oh, that’s great Candy; I’ll go get it! :0)
I bought your book Candy and cannot wait to read it! Okay let’s try to link your books to Amazon. You’re on WordPress.com, so go to your book pic on your blog (in Edit form) and click on the image, then click on the ‘chain-looking’ icon at the top of the screen and copy & paste your link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Unwilling-Bride-ebook/dp/B004LLJ1RW/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1345496595&sr=1-1&keywords=the+unwilling+bride+kindle+edition+candy-ann+little , then click on the box to have the link open to a new window. That should help. Then go to DEATH BY BROKEN HEART, copy the URL in the top bar and do the same to link it up. I hope this helps.
Nice, I remember marbles. LOL http://jemcogdell.blogspot.com/2012/08/better-late-than-never.html
Me too. I was surprised to learn they played marbles back in the 1700’s.
Wonderfully chosen excerpt! It’s a great tie in with the prompt, Candy!
