Hello!
Gotta say, my
television shows are eating my brain lately. I'm dying for Walking Dead tonight even though the Governor makes my skin crawl.
I got caught up on Sleepy Hollow and
totally love the dynamic of the entire show. Reminds me so much of the X-files. Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. is coming together pretty nicely. I'm
enjoying the character dynamics. Sons of Anarchy keeps me on the edge of my
seat and I so want to hate Gemma, but can't quite go across the line into
loathing territory. But I would love to see her get some kind of comeuppance.
We'll see what happens.
Again, Arrow and Tomorrow People had me glued to my screen on Wednesday. Arrow truly gets better each episode. Tomorrow People keeps me guessing and I
hope it stays that way. I'm really excited to see where Haven ends up going and how they'll resolve the current storyline.
I can't remember if this is the last season or not, but I'm almost hoping it
isn't.
And hey, I'm
currently enjoying a Firefly marathon on the Science Channel. I have much love
for that show.
So… tonight's post.
The snippet is from Star Chasers, which might end up becoming a series, but the
sages are being giant pains and won't decide how much they're going to give me.
Evil little trolls. LOL
Here's the tagline:
Marnie Ritoli, a kick
ass mechanic for the premier team in the galaxy, is presented with a dilemma:
choose a new mate or leave the Chasers. But Marnie knows Luce Carrington isn't dead,
and she won't play second fiddle to anyone, so she does what she's best at and
finds a loophole in the league rules, picking Luce's best friend… the person
who backs her into a corner in the first place.
And the sneaky peek…
Marnie Ritoli tossed and turned.
Her mind filled with images of Luce Carrington, friend, lover, the only man for
her. His dark hair pulled back, eyes burning for her, mouth descending to steal
a kiss. Not that he ever had to steal them. Marnie craved his lips covering
hers, their tongues dueling for dominance until they fought for air.
She could almost feel the firm
pressure of his mouth over hers, the way his hand always slid up to cup the
back of her head, drawing her in and holding her close. Marnie wanted to taste
his lips right now, even asleep, she hungered for them. For him.
Rolling to her side, she curled
up against the pillow, a very poor substitute for Luce's powerful, solid frame.
She wanted to wrap herself around him and drift off in the warmth of his arms.
The fluffy pillow didn't offer the deep, rhythmic breathing that usually
soothed her overly tired mind.
Then again, nothing did right
now.
The annoying buzz from the
bedside phone had her giving up all pretense of trying to sleep. She grabbed
the handset and pushed herself upright.
"Yeah." Her voice
sounded rough, but after 2 am, who cared?
"It's Win. I know it's late,
but we gotta talk." His voice lowered. "Canteen, five minutes."
She didn't respond. Didn't have
to. Win had already cut the call.
Rolling out of bed, she twisted
her hair back and secured it with two pins. She knew, bone deep, whatever Win
wanted to discuss couldn't be good. Dragging on a pair of pants, she buttoned
the closure and reached for her vest.
The crew's name emblazoned on the
back didn't bring the comfort it usually did, but putting it on gave her a
boost of confidence. She hoped the mantle of protection remained after she met
with Win. If she lost his support, she'd be out in the cold.
She jammed her feet in her shoes
and looked at the empty spot in the bed. God, she missed Luce. He'd been gone
way too long.
"Dammit, Luce. Where the
hell are you?"
Striding across the room, she
yanked the door open and started for the canteen.
Marnie won't enjoy
her chat with Win, but she'll buy some time. For what? I can't actually say…
spoilers.
LOL
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flip.
