Sunday Snippet – Work in Progress
Welcome back for another Sunday Snippet, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme. Make sure you click over to that list once you’re finished here. 🙂
I’m still picking my way along, nowhere near done this WIP. But it’s Sam (the hero’s best friend in BODY OF WORK) and Leigh, and they’re fun to hang out with (and torture), so it’s all good. Here’s eight more (unpolished) sentences I plucked from their story. The opening line of dialogue belongs to Leigh.
“You look hot on a bike — though you always look hot.”
“Thanks.” Nothing he hadn’t heard before, but coming from Leigh, it sounded better than usual. Maybe because he’d waited so long to hear it, or because the last several hours had left him aching to get naked with her, and the ‘hot’ comments boded well for that goal. Yeah, that was probably it. “You like to ride?” Boom, her cheeks went from peachy-pink to scarlet, as he’d hoped they might. “Don’t answer that, I’d rather find out for myself.”
Well, what do you think? Should I keep going and finish the book?
If ‘yes’ is the answer and you’d like to get to know Sam right now, go grab BODY OF WORK, because he’s in there quite a bit. (Yes, yes, that was a shameless plug for my most recent book. 😉 )
Have a great day, everybody, and thanks so much for stopping by!

A teasing scene for your characters. I love that it is from the guy’s POV.

Gotta hate it when a blush gives you away…
Of course, she did invite some flirting. And I bet he can talk her into that ride.

Methinks she wasn’t thinking of the bike. Great snippet, Karla. Looking forward to Sam’s HEA. 😀

I agree with the previous commenters. Great chemistry, and something tells me she’s going to say yes. Good luck with this story!
