Sneak Peek Sunday ~ The Substitute Stripper

Welcome to Sneak Peek Sunday! First off, I have to tell y’all how hard it was to find six consecutive paragraphs that I could post on a public blog! But I found ‘em. Hope they tempt you for more!

FROM: The Substitute Stripper



To set you in the scene — Ash and Bree are coworkers. Ash asks Bree for a favor, to be his date at a wedding, and She asks when the wedding is.

“Next weekend.”

“Weekend,” she repeated. “Not next Saturday or next Sunday. They have some special ritualistic ceremony or something?”

“No. The wedding is at the Snowshoe Mountain Lodge. I have to be there Friday night for the bachelor party. The wedding is Saturday. I plan to come home Sunday.”

A weekend at the lodge, and all she had to do was show up at a wedding and reception. Hello. She’d be nuts not to go. If Ash wasn’t interested in warming her bed, she was sure she could find a lonely skier who’d be game. “I pretend to be your date and you pay for the weekend?”

His cool blue eyes locked on hers as if searching for something. “Well, yeah, if you have to pretend, I guess that still works.”

Aww. That cute puppy sound went off in her head and tugged at her heart. He wanted her for a real date. He was too cute. “I’m sorry, you said you needed a favor so I assumed pretending to like you was the favor.” Shit! She should just shove her whole boot in her mouth, since her foot was so far in. “Wait, I didn’t mean that. I meant—well, I don’t know what I meant. I’m a bitch, what can I say. I know, how’s this? I would love to be your date for the wedding.”
