Happy Wednesday! We’re deep into tech week for BIG FISH. Everything is looking fantastic so far. Just two days until opening night!
Other than that, it’s life as usual. I’m plugging away at the copyedits for Drumbeat. I’ve also been able to get more than expected written in Minuet. It’s been a perfect storm of a regular writing sprints group and now beta reading, which always inspires me to write more for some reason. The story is shaping up nicely, which is a pleasant change from struggling through writing Drumbeat.
On to the WIPpet. This snippet follows more or less from last week’s. I’ve edited it a bit for length and clarity. It’s just a shade racy, but nothing graphic.
WIPmath:2/21/2018 = 2 x (2 + 1) = 6 paragraphs.
Mack collapsed onto his back. His limbs were still quivering. Once he’d recovered, he would take pleasure in bringing Amelia to the same heights. For the moment, he needed to breathe. As she always did on these occasions, she draped herself over him and ran her hands along his sweaty skin, following them with her lips.
Mack loved that she never hesitated to show him what she liked. He’d met women who enjoyed sex as much as he did, but none besides Amelia who took such delight and fascination in the glorious mess of it all.
The thought amused him, and he chuckled. When he opened his eyes, Amelia was smiling down at him. There was something Mack found poetic about celebrating their reconnection.
“I want to write a new song,” he blurted.
Amelia’s laughter was like water for his soul. “About how much you like being fucked by me?”
Mack touched her hair, her cheek, her neck. “Yeah.”

Oh, I love this. Made me grin. And the last line got a laugh. 😁
Oh, yay! These two are such fun together.
I agree with Fallon! What a lovely little bit of messy happy raciness! =D
Aw, thanks! 🙂 This was a fun scene to write.
Ha, well, I can see that song being a bit cheekier than Trevor’s. 😀
These two are glorious together.
LOL! Yes, well, Mack’s a bit more honest about what inspires his songs.
I do love writing these two.
I read this yesterday but purposefully didn’t comment so I could come back and read it again today. It’s fun. I like Amelia.
Amelia is quickly becoming one of my favorite people to write.
Sorry to come this late (work was quite a bit busy in my end)
This is hot. I read about both Mack and Amelia separate and now you are putting all these scenes and make me very interested in how their friendship develops.
I love writing them. They’re very interesting…Mack is aromantic, and Amelia doesn’t see him as more than a friend. The story development is that they are both doing the “friends with benefits” thing with the same (other) guy…and Amelia falls in love with him. So they have to find a way to make both a romantic partnership and a non-romantic one work. The story overall is not a romance, though, and as it’s the last part of the series, I have to tie up two ongoing plots at the end.
I really enjoyed this, too! There should be more glorying in the mess of it all!
