Happy Wednesday! The school year is drawing to a close. Recitals the next two weekends, with final exams in between. I think there might be only 10 days or so left in the classroom. Yikes!
Meanwhile, I’ve finished a short story and edited it, and now I’m working on the rest of what will go in my “leftovers of Cat and Micah” collection for this summer. I’m hoping for a release date of July 12, which is also my 20th wedding anniversary.
Here is the second in a set of flash fiction, all of which start with “I brought you something.” In this one, Cat and Micah are on their (delayed due to work) honeymoon. Poor Cat was expecting hot monkey sex, but Micah’s been having a crisis of perfectionism.
WIPmath: 6/7/17 = 7 paragraphs for the 7th.
Cat had been sort of napping when Micah returned. He’d said he wanted to go out for a bit, and Cat was too tired to join him. So he’d slipped under the luxurious comforter in their upgraded room for a little sleep. It had turned into an internal debate on whether or not to relieve the tension. That conflict had remained unresolved when Cat drifted off into a restless state of half-sleep.
Micah startled him, and Cat sat bolt upright in the bed. Looking apologetic, Micah held up the bag. Cat couldn’t begin to imagine what was inside. It could’ve been anything from food—though he didn’t smell anything—to a snow globe of the Falls.
“Okay,” he said, extending a hand.
“Not yet.” Micah smiled, and something in it made Cat’s heart thump. “Um…can you…uh…” He watched Micah’s throat bob as he swallowed, and Cat had a pang of sympathy at seeing how nervous Micah was.
“Yes?” Cat ducked his head and peered up at Micah through his bangs. He knew the look got him every time.
“Get undressed?”
“You want me naked.” Now Cat curled his lip in a coy smile, and Micah nodded, his face red. “I believe I can do that.”
Like what you read? Be sure to check out the other entries and add your own. Just post a bit of your WIP, connect it to the date, and link up with us. Many thanks to Emily Witt for giving us this space. Happy reading and writing!
Hehehe. Oh, this great. 😀
It gets steamier! 😀
Seriously, I wonder if Micah would even make it past first button – never mind first base – if he hadn’t met Cat.
“Crisis of perfectionism” lol, but aww.
Ha! Micah doesn’t do well with long-term relationships. It’s harder for him to be naked—literally and figuratively—in them.
But speaking of the first button, Cat’s not so likely to make it past that either, but not for the same reason. LOL!
Ooooh I like this! Cute and steamy 🙂
I am curious about WIPpet Wednesday. I will try to find a blurb from my WIP and add my link.
Cheers,
Sophie
Awesome! 😀
And thank you. I’ve been writing about these two for a long time, and they’re a fun pair. 🙂
Awwwwwwwww. I can’t wait to see what’s in the bag, or what Micah has planned 😀
😀 I think Cat will be pleased.
