News:
My serial novel, The Presidents Club, a political thriller, is now available twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays on the publisher's website. My weekly blog on the same site is presented every Friday.
The Set Up:
Rosemary Woods is executive secretary to billionaire investor, Julian Thibaut. Her unrequited crush on Thibaut's personal security chief, Gerald Pointe, has come to fruition the night before. They are finishing breakfast and we join the scene just after she asks him if he wants to see the morning paper.
The Sentences:
“I guess not, neither of us are dressed to go get it,” and they laughed together. “What day is it anyway?” he asked.
“Saturday.” She smiled as she got up and walked towards the bedroom. As she walked, she untied the belt of her robe. Then she said over her shoulder, “You must have enjoyed last night if you can’t remember what day it is.”
As she stepped out of view, the robe dropped to the floor.
...and now:

Will be interesting to see what happens next, sounds like her now-required crush turned out well LOL. Terrific snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Veronica.
DeleteThat snippet ends the chapter.
I think everyone knows what happens next! LOL
Shades of Ian Flemming! Very tasteful but... Don't market it as 'adult'. If you do you'll get complaints that it's not erotic enough. .oO(That damn 50 Shades...)
ReplyDeleteThanks, John.
DeleteThe favorable comparison to Ian Fleming is a high compliment! I appreciate it.
This scene is about as erotic as I write. The Presidents Club is being promoted as a political thriller.
Hmm... I have a hunch I know what happens next. lol
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate a female character who knows that perfect moment to disrobe!
ReplyDeleteLove the last sentence- LOL so enticing yet tasteful at the same time.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, he must have enjoyed himself, or is that memory lapse a sign that something's going sideways? Intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI'll echo the Ian Fleming comment from above. So, no further descriptions then? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell done. This is appropriate for a political thriller.

ReplyDeleteVery seductive! Nice one. May I add that the covers are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy!
DeleteMethinks your skill at piquing the attention of readers contributed more to your choice for this post's title than did your love of alliteration. ;-) Way to hook us!
