Six Sentence Sunday #9

Greetings, my sixy beasts! By now you're all surely sick of reading about my evil twin's Parisian man-whore, so let's move on. Here are six sentences from my upcoming Blaze, tentatively titled Honeymoon for One. The seaplane pilot hero and runaway bride heroine are in the cockpit, headed for the mainland, and Will is teasing Leigh for having artlessly thrown herself at him the night before:

“Never been sexually assaulted by a guest before,” Will said, facing forward. “Just trying to be polite, lest you manhandle me again.”

“Womanhandle, you mean.”

Another grin.

“You can get away with a lot,” Leigh said, “since you’re the only man who can get me off that island.”

“If we’re being indiscreet again, I’m going to go ahead and delete the last two words of that sentence.”


Thanks for swinging by, everyone! Now head here to check out all the other Six Sentence Sunday excerpts this week.

    So funny! Love his wit... "delete the last two words of that sentence." LOL! Seriously though, I do love how this passage combines sexiness and humor, which is one of my favorite combos! Great six!

    Can one ever have too much of a Parisian man-whore? I'm gonna say no. LOL

    Great six. Love the banter, but your characters are always spot-on.
