Weekend Writing Warriors #21!

Hellooooo there! Happy Canada Day weekend to all my fellow Canucks out there, and to everyone else, happy Sunday! In honour of Canada's 146th birthday, I decided to share an excerpt from my hockey story, Body Check. I think you all know how important hockey is to us Northern folk. 

I actually have a blurb for this story now. Check it out!

Alicia Holden is the ultimate hockey fan. She eats, sleeps, and breathes the game, but there's one real reason for her devotion. And his name is Mike Converset. When an opportunity comes along to win a charity dinner with her hockey heartthrob, she leaps at the chance.

He's absolutely nothing like she imagined. Rough, tough, and in no mood to impress, Mike assumes Alicia's like every other woman who's come into his life, but he soon learns she's so much more. They share a connection that brings them closer together in mind and body. But is their romantic encounter simply a one-night stand, or can they take their passion into overtime?   

And here's the excerpt: 

He laughed but quickly sobered as her ankles locked around his lower back. She knew it wouldn’t be slow. Her fingers clung to the headboard to help keep her grounded. She knew it wouldn’t be gentle. The mountain of pillows behind her gave her the confidence to push back just as hard. But he made love like he meant it, and now that she knew the man behind the uniform, she could see how passion was a constant in his life.
            Her heels dug into his ass. She groaned for every grunt and moaned for every growl. 

Hope you enjoyed! Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you pay a visit to the other Weekend Writing Warriors! :)
