Hi and welcome to this week's Eight sentences. Today I am continuing with eight from my new release, 'Fevered Kisses' an anthology of lust. I'm going to continue with the first story 'Between the Pages' starting more or less where I left off last week:
MY EIGHT:
Until that one day in London when I missed my train.
It was raining, it was always
raining. Huge drops of water pelted me from a dark grey sky and I ran for
cover along with everyone else on the street outside the station. There was a
café by a bus terminal and I headed for it, taking my seat at a somewhat grubby
table still littered with the previous occupant’s soiled crockery. I had an
hour to kill before my next train and I wasn’t about to wander around outside
in this downpour. I contemplated going up to the counter and ordering coffee
but there was a bit of a queue and I didn't want to give up my seat. I thought
I would just wait until everyone was seated then go up. Not that I really wanted
coffee, it was dawdling over the last one that made me miss my train in the
first place.

Synopsis:
Six sizzling stories in an anthology of lust from the pen of Gemma Parkes:
· A notebook carelessly left behind reveals secret liaisons of a most intimate nature.
· An insatiable woman bites off far more than she can chew when four is certainly not a crowd.
· Sometimes life is just too darn hot but could cooling down heat things up further?
· Fevered kisses lead to daring thrills for one hungry couple.
Also, what happens when erotic fantasies occupy too much of your time? Lay back and lose yourself in the sensual mind of one of England’s most imaginative storytellers. Adults only.
Nicely detailed. Love the way you paint the setting.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Cara. Details took me right into the scene, damp, dreary, pouring rain, mess on table and makes me wonder what happens next. Good eight.
ReplyDeleteThe details brought me into the scene and reminded me of a time I was waiting for a train in Porto, Portugal. It was raining there too. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteGreat job of setting the scene!:)
ReplyDeleteIf you carry this sense of detail through more excerpts, you're going to get yourself a bunch of sales, I think!
ReplyDeleteExcellent imagery! I was right there with your character.
ReplyDeleteOh the problems with killing a little time...sometimes you kill too much and lateness ensues! Her mental banter is fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the tone of the excerpt and I could really feel those fat raindrops! I was right there in the scene, can't wait for more.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of showing the setting in this scene. I especially liked the detail about the grubby table that she isn't willing to give up. I'm definitely wondering what happened that day in London when she missed her train!
ReplyDeleteDawdling over coffee. :-) Wonderful descriptions and lots of information, Gemma. I'm curious what happens next. I think she meets someone. :-) Good 8!
ReplyDeleteNice details--you can feel the dreary day. Her attitude definitely makes me wonder if she doesn't actually want to get on the train.
ReplyDeleteDidn't want to give up her seat, didn't really want coffee, but... I felt the soggy depression of a rainy day. Well Done!
