Welcome back to my Sweet Saturday Sample! Thanks for returning each week or for visiting for the first time. I appreciate everyone who stops by.
Today’s sample is again a continuation of my erotic Contemporary Almost Perfect. Its release has been moved back to early December, but you can still sample a bit of it here until then. This week’s sample continues in the PG-13 vein.
“That’s what I ordered for my fantasy.”
“Oh, no. Not—”
“Pirates of the Caribbean. Why the hell not?” Defensive, her voice came out sharper than she intended.
“Well, for your information, Miss Know-It-All,” his tone sharpened as well, “my fantasy was simply a deserted island, a splendid, romantic candlelight dinner, a moonlit walk, and all-night sex on the beach. No pirates whatsoever.”
Boring as usual. “Then you think this whole thing is a mistake?”
“Bad luck all around. Things were going so well I should have expected it.”
“Oh, gee, thanks.”
“Sorry.” He shifted his weight and frowned at her. “So your adventure was a pirate on a deserted island?”
“No, my fantasy was to be ravished by an Orlando Bloom look-alike pirate. Deserted island not required.” His stare made her uncomfortable. Or was it talking about another man ravishing her that felt odd?
“Then why are you here?”
“The yacht they brought me out on, the Nautilus—you should see it, Roger, straight out of Some Like It Hot—got a distress call from some other Castillo ship. Modern day pirates shot at them so they had to go to the rescue, though what a vintage 1928 wood yacht can do against an Uzi is beyond me. Company policy required me to be out of harm’s way, so they dropped me off here.”
To her consternation, his face cleared into a charming smile. “That proves it then. You’re here by accident, I’m here by design. Your ship will come back for you, my girl will be dropped off, and we’ll both have a fantastic night.”
Things are rather civil now, but as you may have seen in Six Sentence Sunday, the gloves come off quickly between these two. I’m posting another six tomorrow from this–a less than civil part of their exchange. LOL

It would feel very odd to be talking to an ex-husband about another guy. And there he’s talking about some girl… I still think they should get back together! What’s the release date again? 🙂

I kinda agree, either he’s got his head in the sand or he’s delusional! Great sample.

LOL! He’s very happy to be getting on with his life too, so I guess he’s allowed to be a little delusional. 🙂
