Greetings!
Another great TV
week. The 50th anniversary of Doctor
Who truly made my entire week. Sooooo nice to watch a show I love on BBC
America and not get stuck with ninety-seven episodes of some Gordon Ramsay show
and/or Top Gear. Don't get me wrong, both shows are okay, I'm just really tired
of how often they're on during the day. The BBC has a HUGE library and I used
to love watching all the various offerings before the network got overrun with
a chef and three car enthusiasts. *sigh*
Anyway, Arrow delivered and provided several off
the charts levels of awesome. Seriously, I live for Wednesdays. Let's see, Sons of Anarchy brought some good stuff
to the table. Sometimes I think if certain people would shut up and other
certain folks would sit down and have an actual conversation, things might go a
whole lot easier. I may have a nice, long post on my TV blog—which rarely gets
used—once the season is over.
I could go on but
since it seems like next week is hiatus for the Turkey Day holiday, I'll save
some reactions for that post.
Tonight's snippet
is from A Thousand Reasons, a short story about an established couple who
have an issue to work out.
Here's the tagline:
Dix Benson wants life
to finally settle down after he passes the advocacy exam. But when Willow Gold
decides to accept a job flying missions in a very hot zone, he can think of at
least a thousand reasons it's a very bad idea. Convincing Willow will be the
challenge.
And a sneaky peek…
The new opportunity had Willow
excited. Something she really wanted to do. She loved consulting but hated the
red tape and endless waiting for parliament to play its political games. She
knew how important it had been for him to take a shot at the legal process… knew
how much he loved it. Could he really hold her back from something she loved as
much?
The question answered itself as
the final sputtering gurgles indicated the coffee was finished brewing. Flying
was her passion just as the law was now his. Willow needed to get back to what
she did best… pull it out of the fire while the iron was still hot.
And he'd be right here waiting
every time she came home.
All the frustration, hurt and
anger dissolved while he poured two steaming mugs of the freshly brewed liquid.
Picking them up, he made his way back up the stairs feeling a little sheepish
at how quickly his reaction had pushed them into a full blown argument,
complete with flying pillows and a slammed door, which was now cracked
open.
Glancing down the hallway, he
noticed the bathroom mirror steamed up from a shower. With a mug in each hand,
he used his foot to nudge the door open and swallowed hard. Willow stood making
the bed… naked… except for a towel wrapped around her hair. Looking up, she
caught the look on his face and straightened, gauging the atmosphere. She didn't
say anything… didn't have to… knowing instinctively he wouldn't give her any
more grief over her decision.
She moved around the bed, coming
to a stop in front of Dix and she smiled as she took one of the mugs, closing
her eyes when the aroma hit her. Bringing the cup to her lips, she watched him
and blew across the surface before risking a long sip of the fortifying brew.
He doubted it would be sexy to anyone else but him, but god, it made him hard.
Lips quirking appreciatively, he took a bracing gulp from his own mug letting
his eyes close in satisfaction.
When he opened them, Willow's
lips were curved wickedly as she placed her mug on the dresser. Doing the same
with Dix's, it freed his hands to cup her face… his fingertips working under
the edge of the towel loosening it until it fell to the floor. He leaned in to
kiss her as she hooked a finger in the waistband of his jeans, tugging him
toward the bed, undoing the buttons of his fly on the way. Bumping up against
the edge brought her breasts into contact with his chest and she moaned
appreciatively, breaking the kiss. Dropping his hands, he helped her push his
jeans out of the way. Unable to resist, he snagged her lips again.
Needless to say, a
resolution should be coming soon. :D
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flip.
