Sunday Snippet: The Hunt

Today is my middle kid's birthday. Something fun to celebrate in the middle of January when the weather is often full of yuck, which it is today.

It's been a weird, wet week in Ohio. Mostly rain, but we got some snow last night and early this morning. We'll have more snow and rain throughout the week with maybe one day of no moisture falling from the sky. We also had some back-and-forth temperatures again, which makes my sinuses cranky.

Work projects continued with good progress. I have a new project starting this week and a catch-up call with an author on when to get their new book started through the editing process. Also making great progress on the memoir and series developmental edits.

Had a solid week of viewing. I made it through the full slate of shows I normally watch and hope to do the same this week. I'm close to being able to start the new season of at least one of my fave shows and I can't wait.

Started out with Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and it's one of my favorite ones. I'll be watching the finale this week and then move on to the movie.

Ended up watching the whole episode of Foyle's War, which I actually remembered. It's also the last one in season four, because it only had two episodes. I'll be starting the new season this week.

Caught the second part of Silent Witness and, whew, it definitely had some twisty turns. Such a good episode! Starting a new two-parter this week.

Enjoyed another episode of Poirot. Interesting to have a plane involved in the mystery and fun to know Poirot isn't any fonder of flying than he is of sailing.

Watched an episode of Elementary and thoroughly enjoyed watching Moreland and Gregson go head-to-head about Sherlock and Joan. Kind of glad Moreland didn't actually have his employee killed. Also quite love that he didn't clock Joan as being as sneaky as she is.

Caught an episode of Batman Beyond and loved seeing Inque again. I remembered this one and enjoyed how it ended.

Enjoyed an episode of Star Trek Lower Decks. I'm finally warming up to Mariner. The dual storyline with the chief engineer ended up being a lot of fun.

That's pretty much it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from The Hunt, a fun sexy short about a couple reconnecting after almost burning out from too much work.

Here's the miniblurb:

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's libido kicked into high gear, and he needed more. Now.

Easing back, he glanced toward the door. "Locked?" Probably not … because he'd acted like an ass.

Megan smirked. "Yes." She loosened his tie. "Kinda hoped I could finesse you into a better mood." Her fingers went to the buttons of his shirt.

Guy grasped her hand and pulled her around the desk. "Love how you always think ahead." He yanked his shirttails out of his pants.

Megan shrugged and undid the rest of her blouse. "Yeah, well…" She unhooked her bra, baring her glorious bust to his gaze.

His mouth watered and he leaned down to capture a taut peak between his lips.

Megan moaned and made short work of getting his pants unzipped and down past his hips. Her fingers curled around his erection, and she gave it a firm tug. He slipped his shirt off then switched to the other nipple and ruched Megan's skirt up. She took over and lowered her thong.

Guy wrapped his arms around her and settled onto the office chair, hauling her up onto his lap. He flicked his tongue over a pebbled tip then worried it with his teeth. Megan writhed over his thighs, her hot center nudging against his dick.

Guy moaned, cupping her ass and urging her to rise up and sink over his length.

She complied, lifting her hips and taking him deep. "Mmm … don't think either of us is going to last long." Rocking back and forth, her internal muscles gripped him like a glove.

Guy nuzzled his face between her breasts. "Don't care. We can always go slow later." He leaned back, bringing one hand up to palm a globe of flesh.

Megan gave a husky laugh. "Definitely got you in a better mood, didn't I?"

Hell, yes.

I love Megan and Guy. Writing this one is a lot of fun.

 

That's it for this week. Happy reading!
