Wednesday of a holiday week, feels long. Like we are at the start of the week and not the middle but here we are.

For this week’s #WIP Wednesday, I am sharing a snippet between Erik and Kayleigh from Flame For Foe .

Erik has asked Kayleigh to undress him, and it’s the first time she’s ever done something like that and she’s all nervous and flustered and trying to cover it up by being a smart ass and the banter between these two, sometimes drives me to distraction.

“I’m waiting.”
Her cool fingers brushed the plane of his stomach as her fingers fumbled for the hem of his t-shirt. Erik stopped himself from helping her. He had to grind his teeth, so he could stay still, and not pin her to the wall and throw that green shirt off of her with the ridiculous long sleeves.
“Upsie”, She said, lifting the shirt over his head.
“Saying upsie kind of ruins the seriousness of the moment; it’s not romantic.”
“You told me it didn’t have to be sexual, right? So why does it have to be romantic?” She blinked those impossibly long eyelashes at him behind her glasses, all pretend innocence reminding him of her younger self.
