Sunday Snippet: Long Time No See

Well, had a betterweek than the last one. Still not completely tip-top but feeling way betterwith the worst of the cold finally over. We got more snow this week, but warmertemperatures are around the corner. At least for a few days.

I got caught up onmy work projects and lined up a potential new one. I'll be starting a new copy editon one of my favorite mystery series and continuing my read through on the nonfictionproject.

I'm setting up astorefront for Tip Jar Shorts. I'm kind of doing things a bit backward, but themore I thought about it, the more I figured a storefront would lend legitimacyto this endeavor. I wanted to keep things super simple and offer various methodsof payment and I might still be able to do that, but I also thought it would bebest to have immediate access to a downloadable file instead of waiting on adelivery to an inbox. We'll see which version works out the best.

Had an okay week ofviewing. I didn't make a full cycle through of my shows, but I did get the backhalf watched. And I might be adding one additional show to the roster. I'll leteveryone know if that happens.

Watched another episodeof Elementary and rather enjoyed this one. Sherlock's dynamic with Joanis different and getting more settled. And Kitty is fitting in with both inways I didn't expect.

Also caught an episodeof Batman Beyond. I remembered this one and enjoyed it. I did forget theinteraction with Terry and his brother so that was a nice reminder.

Enjoyed anothernew-to-me episode of Classic Rugrats. I sometimes wish Nickelodeon hadcontinued with the plans for the pre-school show and added more of All GrownUp. The nostalgia is strong with this franchise. Instead, Spongeboband other weird stuff took off.

That's pretty muchit for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Long Time No See,a novella in a yet-to-be-named series.

Here's theminiblurb:

With Jonni on probation with the Marsoni clan and Valestranged from the Janis clan, the couple is forging their own path within thefae realm. The Vellas clan is on the warpath and Jonni receives a tip about whotheir next target is. She and Val have to decide if they're going to interveneor stay on the sidelines and not get involved, which could have seriousramifications for Val.

And a preview snippet…

Jonni Mars rolled her hips, drawingVal deeper into her core. "Damn, it's good to have you back." Sheplanted her hands on the bed close to his shoulders, her fingers curling intoher palms.Val hissed out a breath. "Goodto be back. Didn't enjoy tending to clan business, especially when I walkedaway for a reason." His head lifted and his lips latched on to her nipple.Her eyes slid shut, pleasurespiraling through her. Val never failed to give her exactly what she needed toamp up the zinging awareness coursing along her nerve endings. He'd beencloistered with the Janis clan for two weeks, out of touch and unreachable. Shestarted climbing the walls by day three because they'd spent nearly every daytogether for the last six months.Being on probation sucked. Shedidn't realize how much space Val filled in her life … or how much of a distractionhe provided, easing the huge void she'd landed in by being stuck on thesidelines. She couldn't even patrol without permission right now.Val's lips traveled up to hershoulder. "Missed you." He nuzzled her collarbone.Jonni changed the pace, slowingdown and moving sensuously over the hard length buried deep inside her. "Yeah,same." Her head lowered and she met his lips.Val slipped his tongue past herteeth to tangle with hers. His hips rose in counterpoint with her smoothrocking motion. Jonni slid closer to the edge of bliss. When Val skimmed hispalms along her torso and around to cup her ass, he applied pressure to holdher in place. His groin bumped the hard nub of nerves, creating just the rightamount of friction to send her over.She broke the kiss on a gasp."Ah, yes." A shiver rippled over her, and she came, her inner musclesgripping hard on his cock.Val groaned. "So hot. Love towatch you lose control." He thrust upward two more times and shudderedunder her.Jonni collapsed atop his chest, herbreath coming out in short bursts. Val wrapped his arms around her, his fingersdrawing lazy circles on her skin. She loved basking in the afterglow with him.The chirp of a phone broke themoment.Her head popped up. "Yours ormine?" She glanced toward the nightstand beside the bed.His phone screen stayed dark.She sighed. "Ugh. It'smine." Sitting up, she leaned over and fished her device out of her pocketand swiped to answer, not bothering to check the ID. "Hello." Thevoice on the other end made her shoulders tense. "Yeah, okay. I'll bethere in fifteen minutes."Val's eyebrows arched."Everything okay?"Jonni shook her head."Probably not. But I've got a meeting I can't miss."

I've just startingreally writing this one and I can't wait to dive in and see where things go.

 

That's it for thisweek.

Cheers!
