Sunday Snippet: We Have a Winner

I'm still working on keeping all the plates spinning in the air. Finished up a few work projects and started more. I'm definitely not complaining even if I wouldn't mind things slowing down a wee bit.

Had a light week for television. I've pretty much decided that getting through one round of my rotation is doing well at the moment. I have some home projects that need attention and that cuts into screen time.

Caught another episode of Peak Practice and enjoyed it. I like how the trauma with Alice is still prevalent. And the surgeon guy is an interesting addition to the cast.

Watched another MasterClass lesson with Neil deGrasse Tyson. I've noticed he has a number of fairly short lessons and I'm not sure why they're not a little longer. They do have some great information.

Started The Babysitters Club and liked the first episode. I've heard rave reviews about this show and I'm looking forward to getting into the storyline.

Enjoyed another episode of the Ready Room for Star Trek: Discovery. I like the interviews but the format could use a little work. I'm keeping in mind that these were more than likely filmed during the Covid shutdown.

Watched an episode of Chicago Med. Ended up being pretty tense and gnarly for the entire ED. I'm a little bummed there wasn't an end scene with Ethan and April.

Caught another episode of The Snoopy Show. I love this for quick breaks when my eyes need something different to focus on instead of words on a page.

Finished up the first season of Cuffs. Have to admit the finale ended up being terrific. I wouldn't mind seeing more of this group of characters.

Watched an episode of Silent Witness and honestly, I have no clue what's going on. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I hope some pieces fall into place in the conclusion.

Started a new arc of Classic Who. So far, it's kind of lame but I think this one will get better as it goes along. Here's hoping.

Began a new-to-me series with Most Terrifying Places in America. The first episode featured a haunted prison in Ohio. I actually had a friend who went for one of the weekend excursions not long after it opened for tours. I can't remember if they enjoyed it or not.

Finished up the first season of Hawkeye by watching the deleted scenes and gag reel. I truly enjoyed this show. If they have a second season, I'm in.

Last but not least, I started another episode of Harrow and I'm liking how things are coming together for this season. Not sure how much I'll like the whole long, lost son angle, but I'm interested for now.

That's it for the life update. Tonight's post is from We Have a Winner, a sexy short that got a start with a writing community prompt.

Here's the mini-blurb:

Kella Yates and Weston Grogan can't fight their attraction and everyone knows it. The entire crew of their ship waits in anticipation for their inevitable hook-up. When they finally cave in to their lust, the winner of the when will it happen pool can be declared.

And a sneaky peek…

Weston Grogan strolled into the head and paused when he heard off-key whistling.

His lips curved into a grin. "She's here and no one else is … couldn't have timed things better." Making his way through the maze of stalls and sinks, he entered the changing area to find Kella Yates standing naked in front of the lockers, towel drying her hair.

He made his move and tested the waters, moving behind her and nuzzling her neck. Her head tilted to one side and the towel hit the floor. His palms skimmed over her shoulders still damp from the shower.

When she leaned back into him, he cupped her breasts, tweaking her nipples. Her hands reached behind her to fondle his hard length. His loose-fitting shorts gave her plenty of room to grip and stroke.

Kella turned and lifted her chin to meet his lips in a steamy kiss. Her tongue slipped inside and her fingers dipped under his waistband. She pushed the garment down past his hips then grasped his ass cheeks to pull him flush against her. He slid a hand between her legs, his mouth ghosting kisses over her collarbone.

The hatch clanged open and Kella sprang away from him to grab her tank top. He whipped a towel from a locker and wrapped it around his waist. He bunched the fabric in his fist, doing his best to hide his hard-on.

Weston cursed the intrusion. "Dammit." He'd been unable to coordinate his schedule with Kella's for closet to two weeks.

Kella gave him a disappointed look then quickly dragged her shirt over her head.

Melli Nichols entered the changing area, a curious look on her face.

Weston kept his gaze on Kella, whispering, "Later." Then he nodded to Melli on the way into the shower stalls.

Turning the water on, he shook his head. "Might be time to use the super-secret spot again." Soon … very soon.

I have a lot of fun with sexy shorts. Weston and Kella have no idea how much everyone wants to know what they get up to or how much money is riding on the outcome.

 

That's it for this week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
