Good Sunday morning, fellow Sixers! Below is another excerpt from my current WIP. It’s extremely rough–please forgive any awkwardness. It’s also from an adult piece, not YA, so heads up. I’ll probably move this over to an adult fiction identity I created, though I’m not sure what name it would (hopefully) be published under.
Anyway:
“Tell me, do you believe in fighting fire with fire?”
“What the hell does that mean?”
She maneuvers her way into my lap, wrapping smooth legs around my waist. Her limbs are still damp with sweat, her mussed hair a reminder of my rough treatment. A few strands tickle my cheek when she leans in. “In our case, it means the only way to handle a lunatic hell-bent on retribution is to be vindictive in return.”
As always, please check out some of the other Six Sentence Sunday participants, who represent nearly all genres and stages of publication. This is my last Sunday for a few weeks while I go on vacation, but I’ll see you on the other side. Have a great week!
Hmm…what kind of rough treatment?? Lurid minds WANT to know.
I see what ya did thar! 😉
Very hot! Great six.
Hi Stepanie,
I found your page from the pages of a few friends I follow religiously. Wonderful writing!
this “her mussed hair a reminder of my rough treatment.” is gold. 😉
Fantastic Six! I’ll definitely make your blog a regular stop from now on.
Wow, thanks! 😀
She’s got a point. But I’m wondering who the lunatic is.
At least she had the decency to shave her legs. 😉 –> Loved the hair description!
Reminder of rough treatment. That’s equal parts intriguing and hot. Love. It. More, please. Wish I knew more about what they were talking about, though. 😀
Hot! Hot! Hot! Love the description and dialogue here! Great 6!
Sounds like he knows how to handle a “lunatic hell-bent on retribution”! Lol Great concept, Steph!
Yum, there’s nothing like a little sexy revenge! Have a great vaca, Stef. 🙂
Thanks!
Hot, sexy and very intriguing! More please!
Hmm . . . I know who the mussy-haired vixen is and have a pretty good guess about the lunatic, but who is her partner in crime? 😉
Maybe, maybe not 😉
Well this sounds energetic. 🙂 Grand six.
