A lot of small words, I know, oops, sorry 'bout that
🙄
Anyway, a little something included in my collection of poems (I use the word roughly) called ~ Love You Like A Woman - Reflections of Love, Loss, Laughs, and Life

#LesFicFri *Tempt*

From On the Edge of Uncertainty, Out 1st Dec 2025

“It was so tempting to stroke her cheek, feel the smoothness of her body against hers, but she stayed her hand. She felt the warmth of Diana’s breath mingling with her own…intoxicating. And dangerous.”

For this week's #lesficfri, the word is tempt, and here's a bit of a throwback Friday, to the very beginning of Carpenter/Harding. I'm fortunate that readers were tempted to read more about Jordan and Ellie, because we'll be up to book #18 in January!

It's #lesficfri - Sam & Janie are enjoying a private picnic lunch. I wonder what's for dinner?

Piperton is available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

They finally got around to eating the sandwiches Janie had brought, and were feeding each other potato chips when Janie noticed the time. “Damn! I’ve got to get back.” She gathered her trash.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of all this.” Sam followed her to the door and unlocked it. “I think you need to lobby for a longer lunch hour.”
“That kind of defeats the whole ‘lunch hour’ part of the thing, doesn’t it?” Janie sidled closer. She placed a soft kiss on Sam’s lips. “What do you have planned for tonight?”
Sam cupped the side of Janie’s face and kissed her slowly. “You tell me.”
“I’m so tempted to call out sick for the rest of the day.”
“I could always tie you up and hold you hostage in the back room,” Sam offered.
Janie laughed and hugged her. “Don’t tempt me.”
“I guess I’ll let you go, if I can see you tonight.” Sam nipped her on the nose.

#LesFicFri *Hurt*

“Her fingers caught the card in her pocket. She was tempted to take it out to stare at the embossed letters and stroke the thick paper that had been in Diana’s hands. Did she want to rake up all that hurt and anguish?”

For #lesficfri the word is *hurt* - looks like two people don't fit in a plastic chair. Poor Gib.

For #lesficfri the word is "beauty" - I cheated and used beautiful 😊

Sam and Janie are just getting acquainted, and Sam tells Janie she's beautiful. It's something Janie hasn't heard before from someone. #lesfic #sapphic #reading
