Yummy
A Rules of Attraction Snippet
By Taige Crenshaw & McKenna Jeffries
January 2017
Featured Characters Book: Mating Scents
Genre: Contemporary
Series: Rules of Attraction
Length: Snippet

Garrick entered the house closing the door behind him. “Bailey.” He called and waited for an answer.

When none came he frowned. As far as he knew she was supposed to be home already. Hearing a sound he headed for the kitchen. When he arrived in the doorway he stopped. Bailey had her back to him as she wiggled her body then made an sultry sound. Knowing that sound he instantly went hard.

“Bailey.” He said again.

She didn’t reply. He frowned. Garrick approached her.

“Oh my God, it’s raspberry.” Bailey whimpered.

As he got closer he spotted what she had. A pastry made by her friend. He touched her shoulder. Bailey shrieked then turned and punched out and flipped him over her hip.

Ah…shit not again. Garrick hit the ground and his teeth clacked together.

Bailey lowered herself and drove her fist down. She stopped just before his face then blinked as she looked at him.

Garrick lifted an eyebrow.

Bailey pulled out the ear bud and smiled at him sheepishly. “Hey…I didn’t hear you come in.”

“We can tell no one about this.” Garrick rolled his eyes. “I’m just finally making people forget about the last time you put me on my ass.” He glanced toward where the pastries were on the counter. “If I recall pastry was involved then too.”

“It was.” Bailey laughed. “You really need to stop sneaking up on me.”

“I came in called out to you.” Garrick said. “That’s not sneaking.”

“I didn’t hear you because of the ear buds.” Bailey knelt and placed her hand on his chest. “Are you ok?”

“I’m going to need some Epsom Salt to soak.” He glared at her playfully. “A wild woman attacked me to defend her pastry.”

You should know better than getting between a woman and her pastries.’ Bailey laughed again. She leaned over and kissed him gently.

He opened and returned it.

“What the hell are you doing on the floor?” A familiar masculine voice asked.

Garrick groaned as he heard it. He forgotten he’d invited Tyr over. Bailey pulled back and laughed.

Garrick sat up. “I slipped on a banana peel.”

“I don’t see any.” Tyr shook his head. “Bailey you really need to stop throwing the man on the floor. Or at least make sure someone is around so we can get pictures as proof.”

“Next time I promise.” Bailey rose and went to Tyr hugging him.

“Hey…wait how the hell did you get into my house?” Garrick rose and stifled a groan.

“Indigo let me in.” Tyr replied.

“I didn’t know she was here.”

“She’s in the media room.” Bailey said. “I was making some tea and getting the pastries she brought.” Bailey smiled sheepishly. “I got distracted.”

“By eating them.” Garrick went to her and teased. He pulled her from Tyr.

“And putting you on your ass.”Tyr retorted then laughed. “Wait until the crew hears this one.” He left the kitchen laughing.

“I—“

Bailey kissed him. Garrick returned it and tasting the raspberry and chocolate he was reminded of how they meet. At least this time he got to taste the yummy pastry. It didn’t taste as good as kissing Bailey did. He held her close.

Grooving ~ Knight Rider (2008 TV series)

There are many definitions to grooving. The one I’m exploring is all about things I enjoy. So I’ll be sharing with you some things that get me grooving. This can be anything from books, movies, tv shows, things I am cooking, places I have been, just fun or anything my mind comes up with. This is all about things I find enjoyable and fun. Come let’s get grooving…

I enjoy chilling with a drink and snacks beside me as I get comfy for some great tv/movie watching.

I’m watching what I think of as a Binge-Worthy TV Show. As you know I’m a big fan of binge-watching stuff. I might have mentioned it a few times here too. *wink*

I’m watching…

Knight Rider (2008 TV series)

Snippet ~ Us

Today’s Snippet features characters from Perfect Fit, Singleton, Book #3. Enjoy!

At times this is the rough draft so excuse any typo and so on.

Us
An Singleton Snippet
By Taige Crenshaw
January 2017
Featured Characters Book: Perfect Fit
Genre: Contemporary
Series: Singleton
Length: Snippet

Spencer pressed the button and smiled as One by Mary J. Blige and U2 played. He sat down and relaxed on the couch. He wanted to forget all about the day he’d had at the hospital.

“Hard day.”

He glanced toward the door and spotted Reggie. No matter that they’d been childhood sweethearts and married for so long she still took his breath away. As he watched her he thought of the time they had been apart due to not communicating about their loss. He was so grateful that was behind them. Especially on days like this one when he needed her. Only she could soothe him and make when the world was shitty for it to be all right.

He didn’t reply just watched her. Reggie came to him. She was already in her home clothing so she’d been home a while. She sat beside him on the couch and pressed against his side. He slid his hand along her inner thigh and turned into her body. Reggie curled her arms around him and held him. Spencer closed his eyes and just let all that was her seep into him.

This was all he needed at this moment. Just being part of what made them an us.
