Sunday Snippets 30 – Deep Fried Sweethearts

Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors! Skipping forward. Tag just caught Michaela napping at her desk. Unbeknownst to him, she was having naughty dreams of him.  However, he still has something to laugh about: He covered his mouth with a hand while leaning against the file cabinets lining the wall. “I’m awake,” she defended before he could even speak. “It was just a cat nap.” “Of course you are.” His snort burst from behind his hand and he let out a good loud bark of a laugh. “You have a really cute snore.” “I wasn’t—I…” Unfortunately, his laughter was contagious and she found herself joining him before she could form a good argument. *No creative editing used this week.  *~* | Amazon | SCP | BN | ARe |  Michaela O’Keefe is in over her head with her restaurant, The Midway.  Her ad for an assistant manager brings Owen “Tag” Montague to her doorstep. With an impeccable resume and dozens of letters of recommendation, she has little choice but to give him a chance. Ten years her junior, Tag sets her long-dead libido humming, but she gave up on love and her instincts on men years ago. Tag has had a crush on his new boss since his youth, but he’s determined to prove he can do the job. Still, he can’t resist the urge to make her blush down to her toes as often as possible. He knows her rough past in life and love makes it hard to trust, and he’s wary of crossing the line he so desperately wants to. Just when they manage to figure out how to work and play together, Michaela’s ex does all he can to destroy their budding love. When push comes to shove Michaela’s inability to give Tag the benefit of the doubt might destroy everything. Learning to trust herself again is the hardest lesson Michaela will ever have to learn – and by the time she does, it may be too late for love. *~* Head back on over to the Weekend Writing Warriors to read many more wonderful offerings!
