In this snippet of How to Rescue a Pirate, Samantha Abbott has woken from her faint after Captain Blackheart gave her a concussion from throwing her against the wall. He recognizes her and wants to know why she's there.
“Why would ye think I needed rescuing?” He poured her a mug of water from the pitcher she’d found the night before and handed it to her.
Now it was her turn to snort. “I find you drunk off your ass in a run-down tavern, a wanted man with no one covering your back. Let me think.”
Instead of grimacing, he gave her a little half-smile that was both sad and sexy.She's got him dead-to-rights. Definitely in need of rescuing. Next week, Six Sentence Sunday is taking a break for the Holiday so the official site won't be posting. But I'll have six Holiday sentences up for you to enjoy so please stop by. If I don't see you, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :)
Hmm, 'a little half-smile that was both sad and sexy'? Sounds like Blackheart might not have anyone watching his back on purpose. Or he doesn't have anyone *left* to watch his back.
ReplyDeleteGreat 6!
Save him! Save that sexy pirate! Another fun six -- I like watching this one unfold every week.
ReplyDeleteLol - she hits hard! Good for her! :)
ReplyDeleteEnticing read!! I really enjoyed it! :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love a hero that can be sexy and sad at the same time.

A mug of water isn't going to make up for him throwing her against the wall. Can't wait to see what she does next.
ReplyDeleteAw, love his reaction. Sounds like her action touched his heart. Love this six.
ReplyDeleteHe threw her against the wall? Yikes. Sounds like she needs rescuing.
ReplyDeleteHe's got some work to do to make up for that, but I love when heroes and heroines have to save each other! True teamwork. And I've always loved me some pirate.
ReplyDeleteLiked your six. A lot. Sexy, funny. Spunky character.
ReplyDeleteI love these characters, Siobhan! I love the bantering, her unladylikeness, his rough ways--they're so human already to me. And I loooooved the small and sexy/sad smile at the end. I know a guy that does that. :D
ReplyDeleteI love this pirate! He's got a mean streak, but you just know he's going to show his sweet side pretty soon. Another great six! Happy Holidays to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat six! Loved the half-smile...makes me want to get to know this pirate:-)
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling there's quite a back story here.
ReplyDeleteYep, he definitely needs rescuing!
ReplyDeleteA sad and sexy smile from a pirate? That I'd like to see!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas!
LOVE the banter and her sarcasm. Can't wait to find out why he's worth rescuing.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for mentioning me in your intro! You completely made my day. :-)
I love Samantha Abbott. She doesn't back down! And that seems to be just what Blackheart needs. I love this dynamic, Siobhan! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteSad and sexy, I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE the half smile! A wanted man in need of protection - oh, the potential there. YUM! :c)
ReplyDeleteAwww, so cute. His vulnerability makes him more attractive. She's got to be very tough to survive in the pirate world, but there's some motivation.
ReplyDeleteKarysa Faire reminded me of my manners, I also thank you for the shout out!
Re posting anyway next Sunday, holiday or no, this stuff sure is addictive!
Oh I do like her. She's got attitude! :-)
ReplyDeleteSweet! :)
ReplyDeletePirates? (Dons eye patch) ...and I have to wait until after the holidays? Arrrg. Why addict me now matey? (Shivers in me timbers) :D
ReplyDeleteGreat six, think l like these two! Happy holidays Siobhan!
