Sunday Snippet: Something New

October is starting off on something of a down note. But it's spooky season and that makes me very happy.

Received some sad news this morning about one of my current authors. He had a rare form of brain cancer and passed peacefully yesterday. I'm so glad I got to know him and his story, which I hope we'll be able to share with others.

I ended up having a decent week with work projects and managed to get some other things done along with a good bit of writing. Have one manuscript almost finished up and I'm excited to get it out in the world.

Pretty good week of viewing also. I managed to make it all the way through my current roster of shows and got one that simmers on the back burner most of the time mostly watched.

Started the week with the season finale of My Life Is Murder and thoroughly enjoyed the episode. So great to kind of have some closure for Alexa's cycle of grief. I loved how the two-part episode played out.

Caught DI Jack's last episode of Death in Paradise. Really enjoyed his sendoff and look forward to the new DI's introduction in the next episode. Really have to thank my sister-in-law for recommending this show.

Finished up the second half of Silent Witness. The episode took a turn I didn't expect and that always makes me happy. For a show that's been running for twenty-seven seasons being able to surprise the audience—or at least me—is excellent.

Watched an episode of Elementary and quite liked it. It's fun to watch Sherlock and Joan navigate their living together and it's really awesome to see Joan stepping out and solving some of Sherlock's cold cases.

Enjoyed an episode of The Batman with Green Arrow featuring as the Justice League character. This ended up being a pretty decent episode even without an appearance by Batgirl again.

Caught an episode of Classic Rugrats. Some more new-to-me vignettes. Enjoyed all three.

Also got most of the way through a Peak Practice episode, which is the one that simmers on the back burner when I don't have time to do a full cycle of shows. Looking forward to finishing this one up.

That's pretty much it for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Something New, a sexy short that gives a couple a chance to explore their relationship.

Here's the miniblurb:

The sex is always good between fellow fleet officers Margie Range and Eli Kennington, but Margie wants to try something new. The challenge? They're on a ship deep in the black and the position she wants to attempt needs a lot more space than is currently available, but she won't be denied.

And a sneaky peek…

Wow, she'd stunned him. Am I okay seeing her completely naked—and not in a shower? Hell, yes. His dick hardened even more, and his fingers itched to touch every inch of her.

He gave a jerky nod. "Uh, yeah. Very okay." He made a move to start on his pants, but Margie shook her head.

She pointed to his shoes, which he toed off and kicked pushed off to the side. His hands went back to his waistband, but she twisted her head back and forth again. Then she stepped forward, trailing a finger from his sternum to his fatigues.

She grasped his wrists. "I want the honors." She popped the button and glanced up. "I'll return the favor." Pushing the fabric past his hips, she waited until stepped out and kicked them aside.

Margie rocked back on haunches and ran her gaze over him, starting at his feet, traveling upward. Naked and exposed, he let her look her fill, even though a vulnerable sting of uncertainty slithered down his spine. Could she possibly find him lacking. When her tongue darted out to wet her lips, his confidence soared. Only the bobbing of his erection made the experience uncomfortable.

Margie met his gaze. "Damn, you're incredible." Her eyes went dark and sexy.

He flashed a smile. "I'm feeling pretty good right now. You have that effect on me." She always did.

She rolled up to her knees and leaned in, grasping the back of his thighs, sliding her hands up to cup his ass. "I love everything about you." Her tongue swirled around the tip of his cock. "And I finally get to taste you." Sliding her lips over his length, she sucked him deep into her mouth.

Eli's eyes slid closed. Warm heat surrounded his shaft, and she used the exact right amount of pressure when her head pulled back and moved forward again. Her fingers dug into butt cheeks and, if possible, his cock swelled more. Margie worked some kind of magic with her lips and tongue, and he resisted the urge to thrust deeper.

His fingers tangled in her hair. Being naked while she still had all her clothes on heightened the tension building at the base of his spine. He fed the desire by exploring her scalp with his fingertips. Margie brought one hand forward and fondled his balls. Eli lost the tenuous thread of his control and groaned, spilling his release into her mouth.

Margie eased away and gave him a crooked smile. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." She accepted his outstretched hand and slowly got to her feet.

Eli blinked to clear the pinpoints of pleasure still exploding behind his eyelids. "That … was … amazing." The high from getting off surged along his veins.

And he really wanted to give her the same euphoria.

Having fun writing this one. Giving a couple room to go deeper with their relationship is such a good time.

 

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