THE FIRST MEETING_CHICKI BROWN ON 20 DAYS OF LOVE
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Michelle asked me to share some of the favorite romantic scenes I’ve written. If you’re a romance reader, there are certain milestones you anticipate in the character’s relationship. In my mind, the top three are:♥ The first meeting where the attraction is apparent♥ The first kiss
♥ The first intimate encounter (adult content)
The attraction, the first time the hero and heroine first meet, is always delicious. Here’s one of my favorites from HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
As he’d predicted, when they reached the spot where the fight had been, the bouncer was escorting the disorderly offender to the door. He turned around to face them, and Dani’s heart stopped at the sight. The most physically stunning man she’d ever seen stood before her–tall and muscular with a five o’clock shadow that gave him a thuggish edge.
Her eyes took in his powerful presence but froze on his full lips. He had a beautiful mouth. Handsome in a moody, brooding sort of way, his piercing dark eyes and warm complexion made it impossible to tell if he was black, Latino, Middle Eastern or a white man with a deep tan. He was so masculine; a word like fine seemed weak. Her pulse galloping, she tried not to stare at the drops of moisture clinging to his forehead or on the well-defined valley between his pecs. His chest rose and fell while he tried to catch his breath from the conflict. Dani struggled to keep her composure, angered by her purely physical reaction to him. She’d never been influenced by looks, yet this man whose aura seemed to take up the entire room enthralled her.
Nick introduced them. “Dani, this is Taylor Villanova.” His last name only reinforced his racial ambiguity.
“Part of his job is to protect you from out-of-control customers and escort you to your transportation at the end of the evening. This is Dani Reynolds, our new waitress.”
She swallowed hard and recovered her voice. “Pleased to meet you.”
His gaze dropped from her eyes to her shoulders to her breasts. “What’s up?” He made no effort at pleasantry, yanked off his headset and wiped the blood from the corner of his sensual lips.
His looks are irrelevant. She mentally willed her flipping stomach to calm down. He seems like an anthropoid, an inarticulate muscle head. Definitely not her type.
“Okay, Nick,” she said, anxious to get out of Taylor’s presence. “I’ll be here Thursday night at seven. I’d better get going now.”
“Hold up, Dani. Taylor will walk you to the bus stop.”
The thought of being alone with such overpowering maleness frightened her more than the possibility of getting mugged. “Oh, no. It’s okay. I’ll be fine.”
“Get used to it. It’s my job,” Taylor said with an emotionless stare. “Wait here. I’ll be right back.”
Dani’s eyes followed him over to the bar. His movements were slow and fluid, almost like a cat–a big cat. He pulled the seltzer gun, wet a napkin and wiped the blood from the cut in the corner of his tantalizing mouth then came back to where she stood and simply said, “Let’s go.”
A shiver ran down her spine when he put his large hand in the small of her back and showed her out the front entrance. The three-block walk to the bus stop seemed like three miles.

FRIDAY FUN WITH SNOW
All winter season long I prayed for snow. I knew it was coming I just didn't know how much, or when. We had a very mild summer that constantly saw rain, so with all that precipitation there was no way we would not have snow. My prayers were answered:
First evening as the snow is slowing down. View from my yard.
This was just the beginning. Approximately 2 PM :)
Professor X heading out for the morning (there was only very light flurries at this point).
Professor X and Beast made it back safely that evening in the F-150
Second day of snow Beast starts to make an Angel
Storm enjoying her snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Beast attacking Storm in the snow
My snow!! What a girl's dreams are made of.
The view from my office as I write my books & my blog posts.
