Happy Holidays! And welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday. Thank you for visiting today and previously if this is not your first time here. I appreciate all comments, so please share!
Today, I’m spotlighting one of the stories in my Christmas Collection All Wrapped Up. It’s a contemporary called The Present. To this point, Tess has had to tell her sister’s boyfriend that she’s breaking up with him–two days before Christmas. Now Hal has offered her the present he’d brought for Janice: a pair of diamond earrings that would save out-of-work Tess. However, Hal suggests that the earrings are payment for services rendered.
His dark eyes glittered wickedly. “For delivering your sister’s message, though there is another service you could do that would put paid to the account.”
Tess stared at him. Her pulse raced and her mouth turned dry as he pulled his shirt out of his pants and started to unbutton it. She glanced down at the diamonds in her hands then raised her chin. “What do you want me to do?”
Thanks for coming by. Stop by the Journal tomorrow when I’ll have 12 Books of Christmas on my blog, complete with giveaways. Meanwhile, check out the other wonderful authors on Six Sentence Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by!

I don’t know why I find this sort of premise so sexy, but I do. Let’s see what the lad wants… 🙂

She may as well get a few things for herself too 😀 Hope he has a large package of condoms (no one mentions these on SSS….)

Hmmm… does she really need to ask? Why do I think she’s going to ram those diamonds down his throat?

Ha! Go for it, Tess! Your sister needs a kick in the ass anyway and this seems like a good way to do it!

Wicked describes him very well. Not sure diamonds will lure her into more, though. She seems more like the kind of girl who might give him a taste of her fist before she leaves. 🙂

I wish I knew what he was asking for. First thought of course was himself, but I wasn’t sure.
