Sunday Snippet: The Hunt

A low-key week finally. Didn't have a ton of running around to do and got a lot accomplished. Finished up a developmental edit for an author and two full copy edits. I'm thrilled with the productivity!

Not a bad week in television. I rewatched the premiere of Wynonna Earp because it was soooo good. Also caught another episode of Canal Road and The Dresden Files.

Finished series twelve of Midsomer Murders and caught a few episodes of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries on Ovation.

Started a rewatch of Babylon 5, one of my all-time favorite shows. Caught volume one of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Also caught another season two episode of The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I seriously forgot how much I loved that show. And it holds up pretty well, too. Finished Constantine and I'm ready for more John on Legends of Tomorrow.

Got an episode of Pensacola: Wings of Gold in and had mini-marathons of Murder, She Wrote and In the Heat of the Night.

Also watched the next episodes of Wynonna Earp and Killjoys. I'm gutted by events in Wynonna and Killjoys kicked ass in ways I thoroughly enjoyed. Seriously, Syfy, please give me more shows like these. Please.

Got started on a few other shows but didn't have time to finish them yet. An update on those will come next week.

And that's it for television this week. Tonight's post is from The Hunt, a sexy short featuring a fun scavenger hunt.

Here's the mini-blurb:

Megan and Guy, corporate retreat directors, stage a scavenger hunt for their client's team-building exercise. After a major disagreement, the couple spends most of their time making up—and trying not to get caught in compromising positions.

And a snippety peek…

Guy quirked a brow. "I'm sorry you're feeling bored." He glanced toward Megan. "What's the solution?" Aside from Guy punching Joe's teeth in.
Megan picked up the conversation thread. "You and I going to brainstorm ideas to change things up a little and get back to Joe in…" She looked at their calendar. "A day or two?"
Joe jerked his gaze up to meet Megan's. "Er, yeah, that'll be fine." He flushed guiltily. "Can you call me directly instead of going through Annie?"
Guy checked out of the discussion to avoid calling Joe out on his leering. The man's gaze hadn't left Megan's bust line since Guy entered, with the exception of when he walked in. Not that he blamed Joe. Her impressive bosom made men drool all the time. Including Guy. He didn't begrudge the males' reactions, mainly because she only showed the full frontal to Guy. He kicked back in the seat and let Megan hammer out the primary details.
Which she did with her usual flair.
She walked Joe to the door. "Thanks, Joe. We appreciate the opportunity to find a workable plan that will knock your socks off and definitely not be boring." Ushering him out into the reception area, she gave a waggle-fingered wave before closing the solid oak and heaving a sigh.
Uh-oh. That probably means I'm in trouble.
He should've helped more with Joe. Aztec provided repeat business year in and year out and happened to be one of their founding clients. Maybe I'm as bored with them as they are with us. Then again, he'd been testy for over a month. He and Megan jumped through flaming damn hoops to cultivate new companies and add them to the roster. He needed a break.
Dammit. Why didn't Megan?
Would it really hurt to lose leering Joe for one session? Duh, dumbass. If he leaves they'll find another company for their team-building exercises.
Right now… Guy couldn't find much of a reason to care.

I'm having fun with this one. Still need to work out the scavenger hunt details, but it's coming together nicely.



That's it for this week. Happy reading!
