Teaser Tuesday – Falling for her Soldier

1 Comment

Let’s call this…THE TANGO LESSON

 “My hand…goes here.” She rested her left hand behind his right bicep, their elbows overlapping. Finally, they were touching for real. “This is the position. Lock it in.”

“Locked and loaded.”

“The basic pattern is slow-slow-quick-quick-slow.”

“I’ve never been a slow kind of guy,” he couldn’t help saying.

She arched an eyebrow. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. Let’s start with the eight-count basic. The first two steps we walk slowly, then close on the three. You’ll lead eventually, but for now, just follow and hold on to me.”

Charlie did not need a second invitation. He moved his hand to the small of her back and pulled her close, smiling when she didn’t resist. When he leaned forward to touch his

forehead to hers, her hand behind his shoulder slid down and curled around his bicep. He swayed them back and forth, though their feet didn’t move.

“You’re not…locking your frame,” Ellie said, her voice a ragged whisper.

“I can’t do what I want to do with a locked frame.”

Teaser Tuesday

Today I’m sharing my first teaser from FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER, releasing in January. (meep!) Here we see a bit of a communication breakdown between Charlie the soldier and Ellie the ballerina. Enjoy!

She moved to the mirror, her eyes giving him a sly up-down before she turned to her reflection, combing her fingers through her long hair.
“Before we begin…” she added. But Charlie was doing his own up-down, his gaze getting hung up where her bodysuit curved in at the waist. “I guess I need to know your previous experiences.”
Charlie glanced at her face in the mirror, doing a double take. “E-experiences?”
“Yeah.” She was adjusting the skinny strap of her top. “Do you want to show me?”
His jaw went slack as he stared at her reflection. “You…want me to…”
“Or you can tell me about it. I need to know.”
He shook his head, incredulous, but when her steady gaze didn’t waver, he exhaled a groan of confused surrender. “Well, uh, okay.” He rubbed his chin. “My first time was when I was fifteen, she was seventeen, it was after a football game in the—” The words stopped mid-sentence when Ellie whirled around.
“Your experience with dancing.”
Oh, Charlie

Music Monday – Glory of Love

I’m super giddy about finally writing a story with THIS SONG as theme on the playlist.
It’s so super swoony. Okay, 80’s swoony, but still.
(FALLING FOR HER SOLDIER, coming in January!)
And it got me to thinking about my sister and a very important question:
Ahem. Sister, which Peter Cetera song is best? I know which one you’ll pick, but I vote for this one. Yeah, I know, your pick is good too, and really dreamy, and the movie it’s from is like the best movie ever–especially the scene when your song plays–and the actor is so super cute, and yeah, okay…you win.
