Weekend Writing Warriors – Out of Options

WWWshadeToday on Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday, I’m sharing eight sentences from my untitled contemporary romance. While hibernating the winter in a beach house Josh is being paid to remodel, the former K9 handler is befriended by a service puppy in training and her owner. Last week he opened his door to find Tori with a bag of puppy chow and the pup, Sky, sitting at her feet. She’s just apologized for barging in on him.

Tori had lost her mind, but she was out of options. The sight of his glistening bare chest froze her mouth before she could explain her presence.

“It’s okay,” he said picking up Sky as he leaned on the door jamb with only a terry towel wrapped around his lean hips.

“I know you don’t know me, and we only met on the beach yesterday, but can I pay you to watch her today?” She sounded desperate and she was after over a year of trying to get her divorce finalized. “I have to be in court in Virginia and I may be gone all day, and my friend who was going to watch her got called into work and…”

“She’ll be fine.” He raised a brow over mischievous gray eyes and took the food with his free hand, setting it inside the door as Sky licked his cheek.

Weekend Writing Warriors – Nightmares and Fantasies

WWWshadeToday on Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday, I’m sharing eight sentences from my untitled contemporary romance. While hibernating the winter in a beach house Josh is being paid to remodel, the former K9 handler is befriended by a service puppy in training and her owner. This week we’re skipping ahead to where he’s in the shower the next morning after meeting dog and owner on the beach.

Josh stuck his head under the beating water attempting to ignore the incessant pounding at the front door. When it finally stopped, he cut off the water, snagged a towel off the rack and wrapped it around his waist. On his way to the bedroom, the knocking commenced again, this time at the second floor entry off the deck.

“Damn it,” he said cursing as he raced up the stairs and flung open the door. After a questioning blink at a women in a business suit with a bag of puppy chow in her arms, a shrill bark directed his attention to her feet. Sky, the Labrador he’d met on the beach yesterday.

“I’m sorry to bother you.” The woman shifted nervously in her high heels.
