It’s Six Sentence Sunday time again! Today, I’m sharing another snippet from my WIP “Weekend Assistant.” At twenty-three, Kate sacrificed her relationship with Adam to secure his future. Now it’s six years later – Adam is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and holding his annual shareholder’s meeting at the hotel where Kate works. She assumed he’d just ignore her, instead he’s arranged for her to work as his assistant for the weekend.
We’re picking up where we left off last week – Adam just asked Kate why she thinks she’s there:
- He was standing so close that I felt engulfed by his heat – my body hummed in response. Helplessly, I leaned against him, silently begging for more but he instantly drew back, breaking the connection.
- “Clearly you want to punish me,” I answered as I pushed against his arm, trying to break free of his cage. In one deft movement he turned me around, my back was pressed against the railing and his hand was fisted in my hair.
- “Punish you…” he mused, grabbing my bun a little tighter. “I suppose there’s truth to that, I’ve never wanted to punish anyone more.”
Thanks to everyone who made my first SSS such a pleasure last week – it was lovely meeting all of you. And don’t forget to check out some of the other authors over at Six Sentence Sunday!
