How did half the
year slip by already? Seriously, I think I'm still stuck back in January. LOL
Then again, I know it's
summer when Strike Back returns! It's
not on in the US yet, but I'll be happy to do a rewatch when it hits Cinemax.
I'm totally bracing to not have a full team by the end of the ten episode run.
Something tells me Stonebridge and Scott have been way too lucky to date. Just
saying.
Orphan Black continues to bring it's A game. I love,
love, love the dynamic of putting Helena with Allison. I will say I'm not at
all surprised Rachel pulled a magic rabbit out of her ass. I'm actually a
little thrilled I can still hate her. I totally want to see her and Rudy in a
room together and honestly don't care if neither comes out. LOL
Bitten had its US finale on Friday and I knew what would happen but the losses
still smacked me in the gut. Season three can't get here fast enough for me.
On the Teen Wolf
front, I'm about halfway through season four and I'm slowing down a little so I
don't have so long to wait for new episodes. Although, I guess I could totally do
a complete rewatch from start to finish if I get through the last handful of
episodes too quickly. :D
That's it for TV
this week. Tonight's post is from All Bets Off, a sexy short where my main
characters are close to realizing their attraction and acting on it.
Here's the tagline:
Kellen Bairds and Pierce Abbotson make friendly wagers on a
regular basis until Kellen won't admit Pierce won their latest round. When he
calls her on the lie, she gets angry because no amount of money on earth will
make her reveal how kinky her dreams are. Or her feelings for him.
And a snippety peek…
Kellen always looked forward to
the after closing wind-down with her coworkers on Sundays. From three AM to
whenever they all got too tired or too drunk to continue the crew would do
something fun to bust up the grind of working all week. Since the bar remained
closed until the evening on Monday, no one would have to be available for the
opening shift.
She wondered what mischief they'd
get into this morning. Sometimes they played shots and darts, or flipped
quarters, maybe truth or dare. None of those really interested her so she hoped
for one shot, one question or high card picks. The last time they did the high
card draw, she hit a streak and didn't drink a single glass, but she got each
of her six coworkers completely drunk.
Winnie burst through the café
doors, exiting the kitchen. "Kells, what's your fancy tonight?" She
shuffled stools out of the way and dragged two tables together.
Kellen cocked her head to one
side. "I don't know. Was thinking one shot, one question or maybe high
card picks." She helped Winnie replace the chairs around the tables.
Pierce entered the bar area.
"No way are we doing high card tonight. The last time we played Kellen had
to walk us all home." He snagged several bottles of alcohol and carried
them to the table.
Mark snorted. "Good thing we
all live within five blocks of the place." He made two stacks of shot
glasses and brought them over.
Roma and Kinley came in through
the front door, Roma locking up and turning off the neon signs in the front
window.
Kinley handed the inventory
clipboard to Mark. "Storage is all locked up and the inventory listed.
We're going to need paper products in the near future." She planted her
butt on a stool. "What's the plan?"
Roma settled beside Kinley.
"Yeah, who's choosing tonight?" She grabbed the shot glasses and slid
one in front of each person.
Kellen laughed. "Apparently
I'm not allowed to choose high card picks, so we'll go with one shot, one question."
She poured tequila in each glass. "Who wants to go first?"
Kellen's lucky
streak ends and she can't escape facing what she feels for Pierce, but she'll
most definitely try. LOL
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
