Six Sentence Sunday ~ January 22

Posted on January 22, 2012June 9, 2022

Good morning and happy Six Sentence Sunday to all! If you’re new to this game, it’s where authors get to share six sentences from a story. The book/story doesn’t have to be currently published, but the selection must be exactly six sentences.

I’d like to continue this week with romantic suspense Surrender to Sanctuary, which tells the story of FBI Agents Anna Parker and David Owens who go under cover in a BDSM club to solve a murder. This week’s six takes a peek at their growing interest in each other. Hope you enjoy!

His eyes, so brilliantly blue in this late evening light, were laughing. Behind him, the sun was setting, and flowers planted around the yard–shades of purple and lavender, red and pink, white and yellow–were beginning to close, ready to rest for the night. Lights had come on around the perimeter of the pool and from under the surface, glowing white in the turquoise depths.

It was seductive–the peace of the surroundings, the ease of the company–and even though she knew she’d regret it, she took his bait. Nipping the meat off his fork, she sucked it between her lips. His mouth fell open, and a breath hissed between his teeth.

    Thanks, Karla. Yes, I live vicariously through my characters. In real life I’d probably drop the food (most probably something dripping in the tomato sauce) down my white silk blouse…something like that. I’m a terrible clutz. 🙂
