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 ~ Psych
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…
Psych (TV series)
I’m re-watching a TV show I enjoy. Love the dynamic of the characters. The characters are awesome. So good! I’m having a great time watching this awesome show. Love interactions between the characters. Each episode is great. Love it.

Grooving ~ Bonded in Death
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’m reading a book from JD Robb’s In Death series.
Read Bonded in Death.
Reading the new JD Robb In Death series book. Loving the book. I feel a reread of the whole series coming. 
As I have said before – All the books on this series are so amazing. They build on each other. And I will say again…..
I love me some Roarke and Eve. I also love Peabody, Feeney, and McNab. Mavis has a special place in my heart. Leonardo is a cutie. Trina well I’m with Eve on this she is a little scary but I like her anyway. Tibble… boy the list of characters can go on and on. Let’s just say that I love the whole In Death series.
The In Death series is one I reread often (yes I reread often even though it’s a lot of books in series. I love this series :). From the first time I read this series it caught me with the world building, plot, and especially the characters.
Now back to reading.
Share with me here or on social media some of the books that you are reading or rereading.

Between the Covers ~ God Style Temptation
Today’s Between the Covers is an excerpt from God Style Temptation, Olympus Unleashed, Book # 2. Enjoy.
Picking up whatever she could get she threw it at him as she stumbled backward. Pots, food and knives—he caught each one effortlessly. Breathless she stopped backing up. The man stopped and watched her waiting to see what she would do next.
Frustrated Aurora screamed. “What the fuck are you?”
He smiled, a nasty little twist of his lips. “Besides the man who saved you pretty little ass from being a popsicle? A god.”
Hearing that Aurora felt fury flash through her. Not stopping to think she headed straight for him. The man’s eyes dropped and he grinned, a devilish quirk of his lips. Realizing she was still naked and he was ogling her Aurora was even angrier. Slowing she added more sway in her hips and watched his eyes light in appreciation. She looked at him and saw his smile widen. Returning his smile she let her hand flash up to deck him. He caught it.
“Uh-huh not that again. You’re such a violent little thing.” The man’s tone was calm.
Ignoring his comment she swung with her other hand. He sighed and caught it too. He raised an eyebrow as if saying “now what”. From how they were standing she estimated he was about six three to her six feet. Jerking her head forward she hit him with it. She felt his nose break, as was her intention. A grim smile curved her lips. He let her go and stepped back. Swinging at him again Aurora found her hand caught. Instinctively she swung with the other. He again caught it then turned her around and pulled them behind her back. Jerking her head back she tried to hit him with her head.
“Shit. Will you calm down?” the man growled.
Straining against his hold Aurora gritted out, “Fuck you, Cupid or Claude or whatever the hell your name is. I have eighty-seven more of those to give you. You mother fu—”
The man sighed and said softly. “I’m not Cupid.”
She stilled and gasped realizing she was plastered against his body. His next word distracted her.
“Although I can relate, why do you want to kick Cupid’s ass?” His tone was matter of fact.
“You’re hurting me. Let me go first.” Aurora demanded although he wasn’t.
He scoffed. “Liar.”
“Let me go.”
“Only if you promise not to hit me again.”
“Fine I won’t hit you again. I only connected twice.” Although it galled her to say it out loud.
The man laughed and his cock rubbed against her ass. Trying to keep still Aurora closed her eyes. She was getting hot over a man she barely knew and she didn’t even know if she liked him. He let her go. Spinning to face him she took a step forward and looked up into his amused chocolate gaze.
“Who the hell are you?”
His smile widened. “Nigel Ha’gan at your service Miss Aurora.”
He sounded very formal but his devilish smile belayed that.
“You’re very formal for someone who is naked?” Then it hit her what he said. “How do you know my name?”
A look of pain flashed through his eyes so fast she almost thought she imagined it.
“I figured since you were ignoring it I’d be a gentleman and do the same.”
“What?”
He shrugged a graceful movement of his shoulders. “Our nakedness.”
Aurora sighed. “You’re quite a handful aren’t you?” Realizing what she said her eyes automatically dropped and looked at his impressive member. Blushing she turned away from him and mumbled. “Crap, you know what I mean.”
“Now no need to be shy queinlos,” Nigel said the laughter plain in his voice.
“What does queinlos mean?” Aurora asked although she suspected it was something derogatory.
“Little warrior,” he purred.
