Another snippet from our work Same Time Tomorrow, featuring our Chloe and Gabriel sharing a bed (before things get too steamy) and trying to behave themselves...
He could feel her snuggle closer to him in the bed at the sound of his
words, felt her breath at his neck, the form of her body close to his own. It
had an erotic energy all of its own. Think about something not sexy at all,
lad, or you won’t be able to stop yourself, he told himself with a smile.
“I definitely don’t want you to be there alone.” Her voice was full of promise, and it was
enough to drive him over the edge. Let’s see here, what would do the job? Thinking
about Mrs. Wallace, the sadist music
teacher back in grade three? That’ll do the trick, getting me out of the mood.
She could have taught cruelty lessons to Hitler. She probably did. Chloe’s voice reached him. “Hey, Gabriel?”
“Sorry. Trying to behave myself, thinking
about things that aren’t sexy.”
A cold shower is in order....
ReplyDeleteHaha, maybe she wants him to think about sexy things. Funny snippet!
ReplyDelete"...trying to behave themselves..."
ReplyDeleteUm... it looks like only one is trying to behave...
I have a feeling he's fighting a losing battle but I'm enjoying the process. Fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally... there was an actual Mrs. Wallace. She really could have taught the Nazis lessons in torture....
ReplyDeleteShe isn't behaving so maybe he shouldn't either.
