If you’re new to Weekend Writing Warriors #wewriwa, it’s a blog hop where authors share 8-10 sentences of their work.
This will be my last post on, Sand and Sin and next week I start with my upcoming release, Game On!
Navy SEAL, Jax Taylor, takes leave after being injured on a mission and catches a military hop to Virginia Beach to see a buddy. TJ is night training and recommends a local SEAL bar called the Trident. He’s intrigued by lovely, green-eyed bartender Peri, but she’s stated she doesn’t mix business with pleasure. Between the booze, pain killers and a thirty-six hour day, the tavern begins to sway. Jax makes his way outside to get some air. After closing the bar, Peri locks the back door and heads for her truck, when she sees a form slumped against the wall.
She knelt beside Jax and leaned in pressing on his leg, a sticky dampness cooling her fingers.
“Fuck!” He jerked as his eyelids flew open.
“Fuck is right, sailor, you’re bleeding.”
“It’s nothing,” he said shaking his head as if clearing cobwebs.
“Come on,” she offered, helping him to his feet.
“Peri?”
“Yeah, and you owe me another tip.”
He laughed, leaning on her as she guided him to her truck.
Now what to do with him; she drove home.

Taking him home rather than to a hospital? Something tells me she’s getting involved…

Looks like Peri isn’t going to have much of a choice to mix business with pleasure now 🙂

A cool head and steady hand under pressure. Just the right kind of girl to take on a SEAL.

Well, you can’t leave a hot man bleeding outside the bar. Hope he comes up with a good tip. 😉

Oh, I think she’ll figure out what to do with him alright… I have a feeling things are about to heat up faster than he can heal up! Great snippet!

I’d say very involved. Taking him home with her will make it inescapable. I suspect there will be “compensations.” 🙂 Great snippet!

You’re so right! Playing nurse gives her an adequate excuse, too.

Of course, Ed, but women are multi-taskers and she’s thinking beyond the obvious.
