Six Sentence Sunday

And another Sunday, another Six taken from The Colonel's Man. Arita, being her good old stubborn self, insisted on getting out of bed and standing on her own two feet. Considering she'd just undergone major surgery it was a bad idea but fortunately Jason was right there along with a pair of strong arms that were ready, willing and able to catch her.

She nodded as he withdrew the hand and arm he’d been holding out in case she
went down. When she was sure she wasn’t going to face-plant again, she shot him a
look from under her lashes, her lips quirking. Spirits, he really had no idea who she
was, did he?

“An extraction’s a cute idea for a first date, but I’d eat you for breakfast,
handsome.”

The blue eyes turned smoky and his smile shifted slightly as he replied in a
huskier voice. “Well if it means I get to return the favor, you can nibble on whatever
part of me you want.”

Six Sentence Sunday

For the sake of our sanity and coffee, Roger and I have managed to extend the truce. He was more amiable with the selection for this week's Six Sentence Sunday from The Colonel's Man. Arita, previously known as the "package", had just woken up in the medical bay after she'd taken a hit during the escape. However she hadn't been alone the entire time...

Hard muscle and satin skin lay under her fingers, inviting exploration but she resisted. At some point he’d showered and changed. She frowned.

“How long have you been here?”

“All night.” He spoke in a baritone still heavy with morning gravel. “The doctors
said I could stay if I didn’t bother anyone.”

Six Sentence Sunday

Ever since Mina talked to me about joining Six Sentence Sunday for the first time, Roger and I have been constantly bickering about what should we choose and boy did it get mean! Heated arguments, questions about one's sanity and swiping coffee before one could drink it. Coffee had been the last straw and no one wanted spilled coffee so a truce was called and cooler heads prevailed.

For our first ever six I've selected a scene from The Colonel's Man where Jason and Drew had managed to free their 'package' from her initial predicament. However the baddies know they're there and things are about to get hairy!

More shouts reached their ears as he reached out and grabbed her hand, hooking
it under the strap of his tactical rig. She frowned, leaning closer to listen to what was going on out in the corridor.

“Look, I can shoot. Three guns are better than two.”

“I’m sure you can, lady,” he said as he watched Drew go right into the corridor
with his carbine set to rock and roll. “Not that I don’t trust you it’s just that… I don’t
trust you. With a weapon anyway. Now quit arguing with me and just get ready to
move.”
