Sunday Snippet: St. Patrick's Day Seduction (Organic Nature short)

Had a super emotional day yesterday with my daughter graduating from college with a bachelor's in media production and theater. She starts grad school in the fall for arts administration. I'm so proud of her! And … considering she had a drive-through high school graduation, getting to see her walk for her bachelor's made me very happy.

Had another good week of work and writing. I finished up two manuscript edits and a proofread on the work front and wrote several scenes in three or four of my WIPs. I'm not quite where I want to be on my writing, but I'm getting back to form.

Actually had a solid week of viewing also. Maybe the planets are aligned where I need them to be right now. Who knows?

Watched two episodes of Elementary and, wow, I rather like what they did with the Moriarity thing. Looking forward to seeing how that ends up. I think I have one more episode of the first season.

Started season three of The Batman and watched two episodes. I remembered both and enjoyed each one.

Caught two episodes of Classic Rugrats. I think I'm at the end of season seven where the two vignettes are actually one episode. Kind of liked that format. I think the new theme starts with season eight. I'll find out this week I think.

Started a new season of Suspects. Loved the opening episode. It did not go where I thought it would and I love that.

Watched another episode of Madame Blanc Mysteries. Broken-hearted for Gloria. I kind of hope there's more to the story about Cooper. I kind of want to find out what his whole deal was with Gloria.

Enjoyed another episode of Death in Paradise. I don't remember this one at all and actually loved it. Definitely a twisty one.

Caught the first part of Silent Witness. I'm excited to see where this one goes. There's definitely more than meets the eye for this case. I'm not thrilled with the new addition to Jack's life. I love his niece, but the mom is a piece of work and I don't like her at all.

Started a new episode of Peak Practice. I'll try to finish it up this week. Not sure what's up with Sam but I assume the seeds are being planted for his departure and that's why he's being such a prat right now.

Last but not least, I started a documentary called Broken Horses, mainly because it features the author of one of the books I've been working on and his stance that the drugging of horses needs to stop. I can honestly say it's a hard watch and my personal thought there might be a trainer who should never, ever be allowed to participate in the sport ever again. But that's just me.

That's pretty much it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from St. Patrick's Day Seduction, an organic nature sexy short.

Here's the miniblurb:

Eppie Collins and Vin Derbish survive a visit from Eppie's nefarious ex and she's ready to try something new with Vin—something she's never done before. Eppie takes some time to prepare then sets the stage for the romantic encounter—where else but in the chic shed Vin made for her.

And a snippety peek…

Eppie sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed. "This stuff smells amazing." She released a healthy amount of oil into her palms.

Vin perched on the edge of the mattress, his back on display. "Almost, but not quite, as good as the alfredo earlier." He shifted to the side and worked his shoulder up and down.

Eppie cocked her head. "Let me start right here." Her fingers glided over his skin before she pressed harder with her thumbs.

Vin groaned. "Ahh. That's nice, Ep." He slumped forward, his head dipping low.

She smiled and kept massaging Vin's muscles, enjoying the way they played under her fingertips. "You need to be horizontal. I wanna get my hands on your thighs." She loved the corded sinew he displayed from the physical labor he did.

Vin titled sideways, turning to lay flat on his stomach, swinging his legs up. Eppie added more oil and started in on his calves. Her hands pressed and lightly squeezed the hard flesh. She inhaled, the aroma of spicy citrus tantalizing her senses.

Moving upward, she gripped the hair-roughened skin of Vin's thighs and kneaded deeply.

He let out a long sigh. "You're working magic. Feels amazing."

Eppie grinned again. "I love doing this. There's something powerful about making the person you love experience something that feels wonderful."

Vin angled his head around. "Not to cut this short because I love it, but I also love watching you get off. Let's work the vibe in soon." He waggled his eyebrows and sat up.

Eppie couldn't deny looking forward to some stimulating play, especially with the new items. But first things first. She handed Vin the bottle of massage oil.

Vin took it without comment and squeezed a generous amount into his hand. "On your stomach, Ep. Time for me to work out all your kinks." His lips twitched.

Eppie laughed and rolled over onto her tummy. "More like indulge all my kinks, which is always fun." She exhaled on a long breath when his palms smoothed over her shoulders and down her back.

Vin stroked to her ass then returned to her upper torso. "Indulgence and fun go hand in hand with us." His fingers glided along her ribs.

Eppie closed her eyes and gave herself over to Vin's soothing touch. The warmth of his skin against hers never failed to relax stress away. Several minutes later, the telltale buzz of the vibrator had her lips twisting in a smirk. Relaxation time is over…

She eased over onto her back and gazed up at Vin. "Grab the sleeve while I get a little jumpstart with this." She took the slim device and ran the tip along her leg before settling it against her clit. "I have a feeling neither of us will last long…"

I love writing this couple so much. It's a joy to explore the ins and outs of this relationship.

 

That's it for this week. Happy reading!

Wow. The month is half over already. October is flying by. Not complaining because I'm super busy with work projects and that makes me happy. I'm also making steady progress on the whole clean and organize project.

Had a solid week of television viewing again. I watched two lessons of Master Class with Brandon McMillan. I got more valuable insight in dog behavior and I hope I can translate that to working with my doggos.

Caught two episodes of Gilmore Girls: Year in the Life. Winter and spring were each enjoyable. I didn't know how they'd handle Richard's death, but I like what they did. I'm very curious how summer is going to play out, especially with Loralie's therapy deal.

Enjoyed two specials about Cher. Artist to Icon and Life in the Spotlight both had great footage and details. I remember watching Sonny and Cher and her solo show on television when I was a kid. I sometimes miss that type of variety show. I'm so not into the idols and voice-type shows.

Watched another episode of Star Trek: Discovery. I thoroughly enjoy how the plotlines are playing out. I have to admit I really didn't think they'd go where they went with the Tyler storyline but I love that they did. Took me back to Farscape a little bit.

Caught two episodes of Chicago Med and liked both. Rhodes keeps growing on me and I like how he stumbles every once in a while. I need to go back and do a crossover watch at some point also.

Thoroughly enjoyed an episode of Midsommer Murders. Old school in so many ways with being trapped on an island and having the case be about tabletop gaming. All in all, an excellent episode.

Finished up the second part of Silent Witness and started a new two-parter. Great to have Leo back in the morgue and out on cases. I also remembered how much I love Nikki and Harry's bantery conversations.

Started season twenty of Classic Who and, hello, Tegan's back. I watched two four-episode arcs and actually loved both. The second arc brought the Maya back and I'd forgotten they did that sometimes in the original series.

Began a new series with UFOs Over Earth. The first two episodes were fun. Fayetteville and Bucks County were the areas MUFON investigated. I've seen bit and pieces about both sightings but got some new information about each. Always enjoy when that happens.

Watched two episodes of The Muppet Show. Dudley Moore and Arlo Guthrie were the guest stars. I'm enjoying season four so far.

Started the fifth season of Prime Suspect and I'm pretty sure I remember how this one plays out. I love how fallible Jane is and watching that unfold on screen.

Got another episode of Peak Practice watched. This one ended up being a lot calmer than the last one. I'm really enjoying the trio of partners.

Watched two episodes of Classic Rugrats. The first season has so many great moments and I love revisiting them.

Also got in another episode of The Brokenwood Mysteries and finished up season four. I'll be starting season five this week. I still truly love this show so much. I miss Jared a little but I think he might be in at least one more episode and I'm hoping to actually get to meet Roxy at some point.

That's pretty much it for the weekly television update. Tonight's post is from St. Patrick's Day Seduction, an Organic Nature short.

Here's the mini-blurb:

Eppie Collins and Vin Derbish survive a visit from Eppie's nefarious ex and she's ready to try something new with Vin—something she's never done before. Eppie takes some time to prepare then sets the stage for the romantic encounter—where else but in the chic shed Vin made for her.

And a snippety peek…

Vin entered the house to find Eppie dishing up pasta into two bowls. The aroma of her homemade Alfredo sauce wafted into his nostrils. He hung his quilted flannel on the peg by the door and crossed into the kitchen.

Stopping at the sink, he quickly washed up and helped carry the crusty bread and salad toward the table. "Smells divine…" His voice drifted off when he caught sight of what else Eppie had placed at the far end of the tablecloth. "What's all this?" The evening just got more interesting.

Eppie pulled her seat out and settled down. "Our after-dinner treat." Spooning some salad out, she nodded toward the array of items. "The massage oil is amazing. I can't wait to use it on you."

Vin cracked a smile. "I get to return the favor, right?" He loved the sounds she made when he worked the kinks from her muscles.

Eppie grinned. "Oh, definitely. Then we'll have a stimulating warm-up with the vibe and sleeve." She broke the bread in half and placed each piece on their respective napkins.

Vin's gaze lingered on the plugs. Of course, he recognized what they were for and Eppie had mentioned adding anal sex to their repertoire. He'd banked on having a little more time.

Eppie speared some salad onto her fork and lifted her chin. "You went quiet. Did I jump the gun?" She didn't have to specify what she meant.

She read him like a book.

He stabbed at the lettuce and shook his head. "No. Nothing like that." He shoveled the greens into his mouth and chewed thoughtfully for a few moments. "I'm game to try anything with you. You know that." But … he didn't want to make the experience anything less than amazing.

Eppie's lips curved. "You are." She finished off her salad and started on the pasta. "What're your concerns?"

Vin picked up the bread and broke a piece off. "My previous experience … well, it had room for improvement."

Eppie's head bobbed up and down. "Okay, let's keep the communication lines open and honest. I mean, I'm not even sure this idea will be viable, but I'd love to try." She met his gaze. "And I hope you'll help me each step of the way."

Vin grasped her hand. "Absolutely. I think that'll help me, too. The first time I had no prior warning and I definitely suffered some performance anxiety." Of course, Sheri enjoyed springing stuff on him to see if she could throw him off balance.

Eppie cocked her head. "We'll make sure there aren't any surprises. Approach this as new ground for both of us." She squeezed his fingers. "I'm definitely not trying to rush either of us."

Vin leaned in and brushed his lips over hers. "Then I'm all-in." He couldn't wait for their after-dinner treat.

Eppie and Vin are so much fun to write even when they get a little serious about things. I like having them talk about their pasts without letting the history define them.

 

That's it for this week. Happy reading!

Sunday Snippet: St. Patrick's Day Seduction

July 14, 2019

Whew. What a week. The weather has been all over the map with storms moving through my state. In our small town, a tree fell on a house in the back end of town, where I happen to live, and we lost power for a few hours. Honestly, not bad all things considered.

A so-so week in television viewing. I got a few more episodes of Blue Heelers in and still really enjoy this Aussie drama.

Also caught Midsomer Murders and quite enjoyed the episode centered on a school's history.

Watched two episodes each of Peter Gunn and Classic Who. I've started the second doctor's arc with the animated Dalek episodes.

Caught another episode of In the Dark and enjoyed it. I'm actually quite thrilled with where the show is right now.

Watched an episode of Frankie Drake Mysteries and liked how the show played out.

Riverdale never fails to go in directions that blow my mind. Watching Archie implode is painful but also riveting. I'm also enjoying Betty's conversations with her dad. I'm still wondering when Alice will get her brain back.

The Lost Canary episode of Arrow proved very entertaining. I'm so, so, so going to miss this show when it's gone.

Caught another episode of Classic Roswell. The introduction of Tess still underwhelms me.

Caught a holiday-themed movie on Pluto TV and enjoyed it. It was hot and sticky outside and viewing a Christmas movie definitely cooled things down a little.

That's pretty much it for television this week. Tonight's post is from St. Patrick's Day Seduction, an Organic Nature short.

Here's the mini-blurb:

Eppie Collins and Vin Derbish survive a visit from Eppie's nefarious ex and she's ready to try something new with Vin—something she's never done before. Eppie takes some time to prepare then sets the stage for the romantic encounter—where else but in the chic shed Vin made for her.

And a snippety peek…

Eppie Collins finished planting a tray of seedlings and wiped her hands on a damp rag. "Not quite ready for prime time. Weather's still too cold." She put the container under her kitchen window for some indirect sunlight.

A knock at her door followed by the quick open and shut sound had her heading out to meet the UPS driver. "Hey, Sam. How're the roads today?" A late winter storm had everything covered in white again.

Five days before St. Patrick's Day.

Sam's lips quirked. "Main roads are clear. Can't say the same for the county and township roads." He glanced down at his boots, covered with a slushy mix.

Eppie grinned. "Good thing I came out to meet you. How many packages today?" Sometimes he couldn't get all of the boxes in one go.

Sam held up two, one in each hand. "Just these." He handed them over and turned to leave. "I'll see you soon."

Yeah, he probably would. She usually got deliveries several times a week.

She carried the containers into the kitchen and placed them on the counter then checked the shipping labels. A thrill shot through her when she spied the one with Naughty Nellie's Boudoir Boutique. Holy crap. Finally!

Reaching for the handy boxcutter she kept on the counter, Eppie chuckled. "I can't wait to show everything to Vin." Slicing the tape, she lifted the box flaps and pulled the air-filled plastic baggies away from the products inside.

An array of intimate playthings greeted her eyes. An entire box of fun things for Eppie and Vin to incorporate into the bedroom antics. She started to remove the items, then thought better of doing so in the kitchen. She had two more store hours and while business slowed after Valentine's Day, she still had regulars who liked to drop in during the week.

Carrying the box into the laundry room, she took each of her purchases out. A bottle of massage oil, a vibrator, a cock sleeve, and the one she'd been waiting on… a set of anal plugs. She wanted to be prepared if Vin had any interest in going where no man had yet to go. Nellie's had also included several complementary types of lubricant and cleansers.

Eppie laughed. "Dinner should be interesting tonight." If she had her way, it would be a quick meal.

Packing the items back inside the box, she did a little dance out into the kitchen and started a new tray of seedlings.

I love this series of sexy short stories. Eppie and Vin are a fun couple to write.

That's it for this week. Happy reading!
