Six Sentence Sunday 5/29

Yay! It's Sunday! You know what that means!!!

That's right. For all the Six Sentence fun you can handle, click here to check out my fellow Sixers.

And as always, thank you for coming back week after week after week! Your comments mean the world to me. Especially since it didn't end.

Here's the continuation of last week's. For editorial purposes, Sven's wearing a gray t-shirt and cotton pants. Yeah, I know, not as hot as the towel, but he's not trying to seduce her. Yet.

            “You can never get the water hot enough, can you,” she mused.      

            The room was nothing like she expected the great Sven Vidar to stay in. She imagined him in posh penthouse suites with champagne chilling on ice, or at least a mini bar. This place had neither; it was comfortable, cozy, small.

            She already felt too close to him.

            “You know, it’s difficult to get that perfect fire-and-brimstone temperature from a Kohler."

This week's six is more Spark. Y'all seem to be enjoying it, so...yeah.

She followed the walkway along a row of neatly-clipped hedges to the back entrance. Trepidation and white-heat filled her as she raised her hand to knock. She thought about turning around. Checking her watch, she found that she still had two minutes to walk away.         

Instead, she tapped her shaking fingers against the weathering brick and waited for Sven to answer the door.

The scent of sandalwood and lavender met her as the door swung open, revealing the freshly-showered demon actor. 

Six Sentence Sunday 5/8

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome again to SSS. I'm your hostess, Lexcade. Today on the show we have for you a chunk of the end of Riona and Sven's meeting. When we last left them, he'd been attacked by a demon child (not demon-possessed, but a demon in the form of a child) who was one of the extras in his movie, and Riona was checking it out. Then Sven invited her to his hotel room. To...talk. Yeah, that's it. Talk.

For a fleeting moment, Riona watched every move Sven made, smooth, with all the power and bravado of a lion sauntering back and forth after devouring dinner. Her body throbbed for him, but she turned away before something unforgivable happened. The last thing she wanted was for hellfire to rain down on her head, which was exactly what Michael had said would happen should she join with a demon. On her way to her car, she whispered the ancient words that only angels and their spawn spoke with power. By the time she put her key into the ignition, no one would know the demon child had ever existed.

Six Sentence Sunday 5/1

Wow. Totally missed the boat on last week. It posted about 12 hours and 17 minutes too late *headdesk*. That'll teach me to pay attention to the time and date stamp.

Taking a break from Duality for my wip Spark. I promise I'll jump back into Duality next week. I just kinda need a break while waiting for a few critiques.

This is from the second chapter--new characters: Riona and Sven. Riona works with Duke as a paranormal investigator and is also a Nephilim. Sven is a demon, currently an actor, who has been after Riona for around 700 years. They rarely get this close. She came on set to talk to him about the attempt on his life. He's asked her to meet him at his hotel later.

Riona followed his eyes. Everyone around them was preoccupied. Slyly, Sven slid his hand around her waist, pulling her close. She gasped at the sudden contact and shivered again at his warm breath on her skin. “When you arrive, head to the back of the building. There will be a door to my room.”

Now, go check out my fellow Sunday Sixers! I promise you'll find some awesome stuff waiting for you ;)
