Sunday Snippet: Lucky Seven

Another week in the books and it ended up not being terrible. Had several errands that needed to be handled and got through those without issue for the most part. I always appreciate being able to check things off the list.

We had very mild weather for July. Our high was in the low seventies a couple of days and that's unusual. But it makes doing my great clear out easier and more comfortable.

Work is staying steady and I'm getting through several projects, which makes me happy. I have one that keeps popping back and that can be frustrating. The good news is the reason it keeps coming back isn't due to anything I've done. It's all author related requests.

Had a fairly decent viewing week. I made it through my usual list of shows and had another Death in Paradise binge watch of previous seasons.

Started the week with the new to me series Marple. I've seen a previous version of Miss Marple and it's kind of fun to see how the episodes change with new incarnations.

Also started the docuseries Ireland Coast and Country. I'm on an emerald isle kick at the moment because I truly enjoyed the series about Ireland's castles. The first episode makes me want to visit the country at some point.

Watched another episode of the current season of Death in Paradise. I'm enjoying the dynamic between Mervin and Naomi. Also really happy the fallout of Mervin's kidnapping is being explored. Really not sure what to make of the niece showing up. We'll see if that ends up being a good thing.

Caught another episode of Poirot and finished off season ten. Have to admit this one had more than one mystery twisting through it and I enjoyed that. Looking forward to seeing what season eleven has in store.

Elementary entertained again. The case ended up being very twisty. And the appearance of Shinwell made me kind of happy … even though it might not have ended well.

Enjoyed an episode of Young Justice. I'm kind of interested in where things are going to go with the whole the Light thing. Exciting developments between Connor and Magan though.

Also watched another episode of Star Trek Lower Decks. Very cool to see the original four on an away mission. Also loved how they addressed the different dynamic since they've all been bumped up in rank.

That's it for the life update. Tonight's post is from Lucky Seven, a novella that explores what happens when two people can't really resist each other.

Here's the miniblurb:

Daisy and Shae work for the same company and they end up overindulging at a corporate casino night, waking up next to each other the following morning. What starts as an awkward one-night stand turns into something neither expects nor is really looking for.

And a snippety peek…

I could get used to this
Geez. Her lips and tongue bedeviled him. There he went again … being all purple prose with his thoughts about her.
Not quite comfortable with the way his brain went fuzzy with her, he slid a hand down her back and grasped the hem of her shirt and tugged the fabric upward. Daisy eased off his dick and let him pull the garment over her head. She clasped his shaft with one hand and pulled her free arm from the sleeve. Then she swapped sides, keeping a firm grip on his erection until the shirt landed on the floor between them. Then she leaned in and licked his cock from base to tip before hollowing her cheeks to envelope the rigid length again.
Shae moved a hand to cup a breast through her bra. His thumb brushed over the nipple, and it pebbled to a taut peak. He flashed a grin when she squirmed in response. The smile turned into a moan of pleasure when her suction and pace increased. When her hand fondled his balls, he pulled back because he'd lose control if he didn't. He needed some time to cool down.
Hooking his hands under her shoulders, he hauled her up and caught her lips in a hard kiss. "Gonna go off too soon if you keep that up." He nudged her onto the bed. "Besides, I wanna return the favor." His fingers dipped below the waistband of her pants.
Daisy lifted her hips and let him slide the clothing off. He leaned down and ghosted kisses from one hip then across her navel to the other hip. She writhed on top of the mattress.
Straightening, he put one knee between her legs. "Let's lose the bra. I wanna see all of you." His finger traced over her collarbone to the strap.
Daisy undid the front fastening and shrugged the lingerie from her shoulders.
Shae drank in the sight of her splayed out before him. So gorgeous. If possible, his hard-on stiffened more and he really wanted to bury himself as deep as possible.
He blinked the thought away. Nope. First … he would make her wild for him.
Placing his other knee on the bed, he leaned down and brushed his lips over hers then trailed down along her shoulder to flick his tongue over the tight peak of her nipple. She moaned low in her throat, and he latched on to lightly worry the nub with his teeth. Daisy fisted her hands in the sheets, and Shae moved to the other side. Working his way down, open mouth kisses and tiny nips led past her abdomen, going lower and lower until his breath fanned against the apex of her thighs.
Daisy rocked her hips. Her legs wrapped around his torso inviting him to seek his fill. His tongue lapped between her slick folds, and she hissed out a breath.
He moved up to lick over her clit before wrapping his lips around the hard bundle of nerves. Sucking gently, he inserted two fingers inside her core and worked them back and forth until she whispered his name over and over. When she shuddered and gasped, her inner walls going tight over his fingers, he moved upward, his mouth skimming over her skin.
When he settled between her legs, his groin nestled against her core, he met her gaze. "More?" His dick ached to be inside her, but he wanted her with him completely.
Daisy rasped out a breath. "God, yes. Give me everything." Her hands cupped his face, and she tilted her chin to meet his mouth.
He had zero trouble doing so. Grasping her thighs, he lifted her ass up and went deep, sliding in with ease. Daisy's eyes slid shut and she made a low, purring sound. Shae flexed back and thrust forward again. And again. And again. Daisy's fingers wrapped around his biceps, and she rocked up to meet him with each push he made.
The hot sheath surrounding his cock his eyes roll back in his head. The amazing feel of the glove-like grip made his breathing go shallow. He wouldn't last long with her inner walls enveloping his hard length. He had to make this incredible for her.
Slipping his thumbs lower, he circled her clit with alternating swirls. Daisy gasped and moaned. His heart rate kicked up a notch. He loved the way she responded.
Daisy's eyes opened slowly. "Almost there … are you close?" Her fingers dug into his muscles.
Shae huffed out a breath. "So close … damn, Daise. What you do to me…" He pumped his hips, bumping up against her.
Daisy shuddered and her head thrashed on the bed. "Gah! Shae … come with me…" Her voice dropped to a sexy rasp.
She didn't have to ask him twice. He surged forward again and broke … the orgasm rolling through him. He flung an arm down to the mattress and locked his elbow, so he didn't collapse on top of her.
When he could breathe again, he shifted down and grazed his lips along her jawline. "You might be the death of me … but I'll die happy." His mouth covered hers and the kiss she gave him wound its way around his heart and mind.
Definitely couldn't share that information with her. She'd run for the hills or at least the nearest exit. And considering they were at her place, probably not cool.
He eased away and rested his forehead against hers. "Really glad we're not fighting this … attraction … anymore."
Daisy chuckled. "Yeah, that really didn't work out well for us." She cupped his face. "Can you stay for a while?" Her eyes searched his.
He rolled to his side and scooped her against him. "As long as you want. I'll just need to be up early enough to head home and get ready for work." His fingers laced with hers.
Daisy brought their hands up and rested her chin on them. "Sounds terrific." She yawned and snuggled in closer to him.
Shae pressed a kiss to the side of her head. He had no clue where they'd go from here or how they'd handle working at the same office … but he liked where they were right now. A lot.

Having so much fun with this one. Daisy has Shae's number even if she doesn't know she has it yet.


 

That's it for this week. Happy reading!
