Welcome back for another Sweet Saturday Sample!   Thank you to both first-time visitors and those who return each week.  I appreciate everyone stopping by.  

Today’s sample  is something completely different from the samples I’ve been sharing.  My erotic Contemporary Almost Perfect releases in two weeks and though it is erotic and really rather R rated late in the book, the early parts are pretty PG.  So I thought I’d share those parts with you this week and next. 

Pam has just been stranded on a desert island and is expecting her fantasy 1 Night Stand date–an Orlando Bloom-esque pirate ready to ravish her with her full permission.  While trying to dry her clothes she gets interrupted.

Feeling marginally better, she stalked out of the water then raced over hot sand to a haven of shady palms. She dropped the shoes and unbuttoned her shirt. It would dry better off and she disliked the feel of wet cloth next to her skin. The warm breeze made her consider removal of the top and shorts as well. A quick glance around told her she was alone. Her bikini panties she’d leave on—the wisp of polyester would dry instantly. Moments later, feeling wicked to be on a beach all but naked, Pam draped shorts and shirt over low-lying bushes. The towering palms shaded them, but the heat would bake them dry.

She contemplated the bandeau, wavering. It wasn’t like anyone would see her. “Screw it.” Pam crossed her arms, grasped the ends of the stretchy top and started to yank it over her head.

“Hello!” A faint shout sounded down the beach.

“Crap!” Pam pulled the top back down, thankful she hadn’t gotten it over her head. The wet fabric clung to her; if she’d taken it off, she’d never have gotten it back on. She crouched, grabbed her shorts and struggled into them.

“Hello?” The voice moved closer, definitely masculine.

Pam finished zipping the shorts and ducked lower behind the bushes. Was it the pirates?  Sounded too friendly for pirates. Maybe the Nautilus had come back. Doubtful. They hadn’t had time. Then it hit her. This was her one-night stand. She hadn’t specified her “date” had to be a pirate. Maybe they would spend their night here on a deserted island and be rescued by a pirate ship.

“Hello?  Is someone there?” His deep voice sounded pleasant and…somehow familiar. Too familiar.

“Crap!” Pamela shot up from behind the shrubs and stalked onto the beach.

The man headed toward her, still at least ten yards away.

Pamela put her hands, now balled into fists, on her hips and glared at his approach. “I am so getting a refund from Madame Eve!” she yelled when he came within earshot. “Roger!  What the hell are you doing here?”

If you’ve read the blurb for this story you know who Roger is, but what is he doing in the middle of her fantasy date?  Come by Six Sentence Sunday tomorrow for six more from this work and next Saturday for another sampling of Almost Perfect.  You can also join in the fun with your own sample next week.  And follow this link to Sweet Saturday Sample to find more “sweet” offerings.
