Mid Week Tease: Off-Limits #MWTease
Happy Hump Day!
Thanks for all of your good wishes last week. The pitches went really well, resulting in requests for the manuscript. It’s just step one in a long journey, but each step forward is a good thing.
Thanks to a Twitter DM session with my good friend a new title was born: The Colors of Us. I think it fits the story well.
Here’s another scene from the story. Everything is not flowers and rainbows for Hunter and Michelle (that would be boring, right?). Hunter’s had a crappy day and it’s about to get worse…
Hunter felt the added weight of a knowing stare and caught his brother’s eyes. Alex raised his eyebrows and jerked his head toward Michelle who was busy mixing paint colors. Hunter shook his head, brother-speak for ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’ Another group of businessmen walked through the door, saving Hunter from a verbal lashing from his older brother. Glancing at the men sliding onto barstools, Hunter swore under his breath. He’d choose a brawl with Alex over serving Greg Krouger, self-proclaimed hot-shot investment banker, and his band of yes-men. Greg frequented McAvery’s for a liquid lunch about once a week. He took the gold star for asshole of the year. The cocky ass was even more unbearable when he had an audience, especially for any unsuspecting female within earshot. Hunter caught Greg’s eyes on Michelle as he ordered their first round of drinks.
“Looks like the painting is almost done. I’m gonna miss watching that ass wiggle around.” He nodded at Michelle and slid off his barstool while his cronies snickered. “I think it’s time to get some of that ass.”
Hunter was one step ahead of him. Before Greg reached Michelle, two hundred and ten pounds of Hunter McAvery blocked his path. “What the fuck are you doing, Greg?”
“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m about to ask your artist friend out.” He looked over Hunter’s shoulder and attempted to step around him.
“I don’t think so,” Hunter bit out, grabbing his arm.
“Let go of me, man.”
“As long as she’s working here, she’s off-limits.”
