Six Sentence Sunday
#sixsunday is the beginning of a new Christmas (paranormal) story, DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY. Here are the first six lines:
Seventy-two minutes ago, this man’s tongue hadn’t been dancing with mine, nor his hands slowly peeling away my clothes. The bar’s lights hadn’t been dimmed, the room devoid of imbibing patrons. No, little more than an hour ago, I was just another single woman drinking a rich red wine. Studying him.
On another night I might not have let him notice me, but blue eyes set inside a rugged face made me forget myself. Dark curls framing his face seemed purposely tousled, yet casually styled.

I love this Dee! The pic is pretty awesome too. 😀
Yeah ok, hard to get PAST the pic! But then loved the excerpt, ready to read the rest now please! LOL & thanks!
I love the short glimpse into the past. What a difference an hour makes! Very sexy six, Dee!
Wonderful six sentences, Dee! I wish you a ton of sales with your books! Happy Sunday and Happy Halloween!

Great build up scene. That photo is delicious. Happy Halloween!
great opening lines!
and i agree, that photo is HAWT!!!
I felt the attraction. The picture only helped!
Great six this week, Dee. Makes me wonder why she decided to step outside her comfort zone.
All of it’s great but the “might not have let him notice me” line really hooked me.
I like that she gave into temptation and took advantage of his beauty. Nice six, Dee. 🙂
I love your turn of phrase. But you know that, right? BTW, I has a super sekrit project too. 😉
Might not have let him notice me? I would’ve thrown myself at him from that description, lol. Great six!
A great begining! almost as good as the begining of Keeping Pace! I love how you start your books xx
don’t blame her a bit! Nice six.
Great six but I think i need to stare at the pic longer…
*smiles*
Loved this peek of a scene 🙂
Reminds me of one of those shows where they show the end at the beginning then rewind it. So intriguing and hot! 🙂
Okay. AMAZING opening. Now I NEED to read it! 🙂
Yum. . . Both the sentences and the picture. And I agree with Jessica, it’s like those old movies. Great attention grabber!
Nice! Sets the stage about where she is heading…
My how a little time does change things! Enjoyed your snippet.
Dee. You’ve done it again. Sexy with Capital S
Yikes–I read these six several times just so that my eyes could keep glancing up at that picture. Fabulous!
Sensational writing Dee! Absolutely wicked.’..purposely tousled, yet casually styled.’ I love your use of words.
Wonderful beginning! I want to know all the backstory. Why is she there? Why is she with this man now? So many questions unanswered, I want to keep reading to find out. Perfect! (oh, and that pic…yum…..)
I want one! Pretty please! As always, beautiful writing, Dee!
I’m not purposely tousled right now as just got out of bed :-D… but I really did love your excerpt. I want to know this woman’s story. Well done!
Wow, sounds like 72 minutes ago she wasn’t experiencing this amazing pleasure. 🙂
Yummy six!
