Weekend Writing Warriors #13!

Hiiiiiiiiii! Thanks for coming! I'm in a fantastic mood right now, mainly because I spent the majority of my day at one of the happiest places on earth, Great Wolf Lodge. It's essentially a giant indoor water park inside a hotel, with slides that will freak your freakin' freak. And as if that isn't cool enough, when I wasn't slippin' and slidin' and splishin' and splashin', I was playing this ridiculously addictive game all around the hotel that involved magic wands and treasure chests and dragons, and I was taking out any kid that was blocking my path. Have I mentioned that I'm competitive? Well, I can assure you that no children were injured. Physically. Their pride took a big hit, though. :D 

Okay, so about my new story. I wrote a quick and dirty hockey story a while back called Body Check. I'm making some edits on it now and will be subbing it in the near future. Here's the premise: Alicia Holden is like the hugest hockey fan evah and has a major crush on hockey hunk, Mike Converset. She ends up winning a dinner with him in an online charity auction, and the two meet up in his hotel room...where there is also a bed. And it's always nice to make use of beds when they're just there lookin' all comfy and stuff. So yeah. In this scene they're making use of the king-size bed....


The weight of him pressing against her felt like heaven. She rocked her hips.
“Stats,” he blurted. “Gimme some stats.”
Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. He was right on the edge, and she was the one who brought him there. A surge of pride rushed through her blood. “One-hundred-and-six points in seventy-five games this season.” 


Hope you enjoyed! Have a delightful day and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors! :)

  1. A hockey story - how appropriate for the Stanley Cup Playoffs! [GO LEAFS!!] :-D
    The old trick about quoting stats made me smile. Good thing Alicia knew some.
    Always enjoy your excerpts. Hope the stats worked.

  2. We love Great Wolf Lodge too! It is an awesome place. While I'm not much of a hockey fan, I really like the snippet. Every guy has his way of stalling, and this one is great
