Tempting tease from A Fate-Filled Christmas

A Fate Filled Christmas is my newest short story and revisits Rye and Brie from As Fate Would Have It. 

Enjoy!


Rye ran a hand through his errant locks and yawned.  Eight am.  A bit later than normal to climb out of bed, but he reveled in the rare opportunity.  He and Brie both had long, hard days yesterday, arriving home later than usual.  Thankfully they had the day to recuperate before hitting the time clock again in the morning, typical odd schedules in their choice of careers.  Brie worked as a nurse doing twelve hour day shifts.  As a local police detective, he normally pulled ten hour days, but the number and severity of cases easily changed those hours.  Ambling down the hall, he paused and took in the sight, a slow smile appearing on his face.  Brie stood in the kitchen, presently bent over searching through the pan and skillet cabinet, giving him an excellent view of her heart shaped rear.  Even dressed in baggy sweats with her hair haphazardly pulled into a ponytail, without a lick of makeup on her face, she exuded sexiness.
