Tuesday Tales - Thank




It`s time for Tuesday Tales.



Today we have a snippet from my NaNoWriMo MF hockey romance book, Blueline, Venom #6. In this excerpt Helen and Bob are having some mild and rather sweet sexy times.

Our word prompt today is “Thank.”

This story may have erotic scenes, strong social issues addressed and mature language. If those things offend now is the time to move onto another Tuesday Tales blog. Thanks for stopping by!





He kissed a hot path along my jaw. I craned my head to meet his mouth. I twisted around, soapy hands going into his hair, water running behind me. Bob grabbed my hips, held me to him, sex to sex or as close as he could get them at the sink, and kissed me until I was close to fainting.
“This is insane.” I pulled back, hoping to pry a bit, examine his lusty gaze for deceit. I found none. Elation swept over me then was blindsided with fear. They tussled for a few seconds then fear backed down. It didn’t go away. Oh no. It lingered in the shadows like the evil, crippling demon it is. It was waiting for me to fall back into its tender, lonely embrace. I tightened my hold on Bob’s ruddy hair. Maybe if I held onto him tightly enough the horror would stay hidden in the gloom.
“How did all that wild sex make your head feel?”
I smiled to myself and led our hands to the water to rinse the soap off. “My head feels fine. As does my shoulder.” He made a sound that said he didn’t quite believe me. “It does. Unless you touch it. And my knee is okay too.”
“Mm, you are a fierce ice warrior goddess.” I ran my hands over his, softly and with pleasure, making sure no slickery soap residue remained. The press of him tight to my back made me feel safe, and happy. Two things I’d not felt in a long time. “If I bought you some sexy ass leather armor would you wear it for me?”
“Let me think. No.”
He laughed hard at that, spinning me to face him, hands soaking wet he cupped my face. I crinkled my nose as water ran down my neck and into my shirt.
“You’re an amazing woman who deserves a lot more than some dumb hockey player from Caribou Crest, Manitoba.”
“Hey, being insecure is what I bring to this relationship.”
“So we’re now calling what we are a relationship?” His damp fingers held my head firmly but tenderly.
“Yeah, I think it is.” Lashes falling to my cheek, I met him for the kiss. God above and all the singing angels, that kiss was incredible. Bob put everything he felt into that kiss and it was then, with coconut scented fingers and a wet shirt, that I knew that this man had somehow made his way into my heart. He’d used no tricks or ploys. He’d just been honest, caring, and patient. Incredibly patient. Hell, he was still waiting for me to come around. I wished his mother was still alive, so I could thank her for raising such a wonderful man.
