Welcome back, Sixers! I hope your week went well and I'm glad to see you back here. Be welcome. Pull up a chair and enjoy a little weird, wild, and wicked. :D I really appreciate your comments. They make my day and let me know there is an audience out there! ;) There are several other authors who participate in Six Sentence Sunday and a few of my favorites are Cara Michaels, JoAnn Ross, Lynne Murray and Stacey Kennedy.
Today I'm introducing Samantha and Captain Marcus "Hartwell" from a little story called How to Rescue a Pirate. Sam has been searching for him in hopes of repaying his kindness and perhaps getting a little more of it.
Sam felt the giddy excitement of success and the burning arousal she only experienced when looking at him. After her husband, she hadn’t been able to stand the touch of any male, though she’d put up with the butt slaps and the pinches while a barmaid in the tavern. But Captain “Hartwell”, her own Blackheart, made her feel as if she could stand to have his hands on her, though he’d never touched her. Some unacknowledged part of her wanted his hands on her; on all of her.
She leaned against the wall near the fireplace and watched him as he dozed and brooded on his bench, his eyes barely focusing on what was going on around him. It looked like he needed rescuing, if only from his own drunkenness.
Who says heroes are always men? ;) Thanks for stopping by and I hope your week is great. For those celebrating this week, Happy Thanksgiving! See you after the holidays. Happy reading! :)
Love your six. It caught my attention!
ReplyDeleteNice 6. Especially love the ending understanding that her hero has at least one decided fault. Looking forward to more, Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteLove that last line especially! Very sultry six. :)
ReplyDeleteOH I LOVE THIS! So good. :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing like saving a "bad" boy! Nice six!
ReplyDeleteOh I like this. I could "see" him as she did. Wondering though if he's as drunk as she thinks. Great six!
ReplyDeleteI love those transition moments. Lovely six!
ReplyDeletenicely written. I love the thought of rescuing a man from his drunkenness
ReplyDeleteOh, very nicely done. I like this.
ReplyDeleteLove it when the heroine needs to rescue the hero. Great six this week!
ReplyDeleteOh, a man who needs rescuing! Love it! Great Six!
ReplyDeleteLOL Hope she manages to rescue him.
ReplyDeletePirate, you say? I'm w/ Gem on the not as drunk as she thinks thing : )
ReplyDeleteGreat descriptive six!
ReplyDeleteGreat set up for a story. Like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteA pirate? I am so there! I actually have Pirates of the Caribbean for my PSP so I can take Captain Jack Sparrow with me on planes. lol
ReplyDeleteAm loving this already. The Cap'n sounds like quite a character (no pun intended!).
ReplyDeleteLoved this! The story sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely vivid writing! Really LOVE this - "She leaned against the wall near the fireplace and watched him as he dozed and brooded on his bench, his eyes barely focusing on what was going on around him. It looked like he needed rescuing, if only from his own drunkenness."
ReplyDeleteOH! Pirates!! YAY!!!! Loved this, especially the last big about needing rescuing. Heck, yeah!!! Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeletelast bit. ugh. can't type today. :)
ReplyDeleteTempting tidbits, calling us back for more. Your words captivate, making us sweetly anxious for the pillaging. Seductive six, darlin' Thx - SP
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet, totally grabbed my attention. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBut does he want to be rescued?
ReplyDeleteHear, hear for heroines! I do always love when a woman rescues a man whether he likes it or not. Sometimes, it goes both ways. Nice six!
ReplyDeleteI already really like this heroine. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this, good set up, draws me right into what's going on. I like your heroine! Great excerpt!
ReplyDeleteGreat six, Siobhan! I LOVE this heroine! :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGreat beginning--sounds like she's looking for a rescue as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Karysa in favor of mutual rescuing. H also sound like he's guessed not to lay hands on her till she comes to him--not your usual pirate! An intriguing six. Also thanks for the shout out--as one fan of rogues to another!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I love how she is observed and anticipated his need for help. Fantastic six!
ReplyDeleteExcellent job! I look forward to reading more of this. I could taste her want.
