In last week's Six Sentence Sunday snippet from Driving Miss Crazy, Katie is on a stakeout when Slade, a hot guy she doesn't know, jumps into her convertible, and then acts as if they're lovers. In this scene, she agrees to drive Slade to his car--until she finds out it is two states away.
Here is Slade's take on the situation:
She had two bright spots of color on her cheeks, matching the polka dots on her halter dress, and her chest heaved with each angry breath, making it impossible to keep his eyes away from all that luscious rounded flesh.
"Look at me," she demanded.
"I am," he said, his voice a little too dreamy.
She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him until their noses were almost touching. He barked out a laugh, but then bit the inside of his lip to keep from smiling at how adorable and sexy she looked. He knew she considered herself fierce, and why should he let her think any differently?
I hope you enjoy this story. I plan to get back to it very soon. Thanks for stopping by each week, Sixies!
I love his amusement and the brewing tension between them!

Oh, he's trying to remain serious, but not doing a very good job. I wonder if she'll crack. Great six! :)

This six was so much fun. He's so cute as he takes her in and I can just see her trying to take control of the situation. Fabulous 6, I was right there.

He sounds like trouble. Hot, delicious, complicated trouble.

Wonderful characterization! Reminds me of a big dog smitten by a little cat.

This is wonderful, Donna! Such great descriptions! The car seat must have room for three, because I was right there with them :-) Great six. :-)
