I've made it!!!
Sorry I haven't been part of Sweet Saturday Sample for the last few weeks, but life's been busy with two girls at home on their term break. But I'm loving it! :-)
Nicky had just come out of the shower
when Daniel knocked at the door. She opened the door slightly and saw him smiling
at her, with a towel her only cover. Then her mobile rang and she went back
into the room. It was Shane, but she chose not to answer it. When she turned
around, Daniel had already stepped into the room with her.
“My timing seems to be just perfect,”
he said with a big grin. Nicky rolled her eyes at him.
“Okay – just a quick question. I just
talked to Sash. Vonnie, her family, Erin, her little princess and Alex are
camping down near Cork for a few days and are wondering whether we would like
to join them on the way home. Sash could bring all the stuff,” Daniel told her.
“You’re kidding me, aren’t you?” Nicky
was slightly baffled. “Camping?” Her eyes grew big.
Daniel moved closer. “Don’t tell me
you’ve never been camping.” He smiled.
“You don’t expect me to sleep in a
tent, on a mattress out there with all sorts of crawling little bugs,” Nicky
sighed.
“Miss England, it’ll be great. I
promise. You’ll camp with me and Sash in the tent and you’ll be fine. Come on.”
She thought about it and looked into
his begging eyes.
“You owe me big time for this, Mr. Callaghan!”
She quickly adjusted the towel that was in danger of slipping.
He donned a smile of anticipation,
took her face into his hand and softly touched his lips to hers.
“They say nothing beats sitting by the
campfire under the stars.” He looked into her blue eyes before brushing her
lips with his again.
“You’re taking advantage of the
situation here, Mr. Callaghan,” Nicky said softly.
He smiled conspiringly. “Shh,” he
whispered into her ear and took her hands off the towel. He kissed her gently as
he laid her down on the bed. Nicky closed her eyes in pure happiness as he
caressed her body softly with his lips. It was an overwhelming sensation that
made her give into her feelings.

Very tempting tidbit. I wonder what will happen on the camping trip?

DeleteSounds like Miss England is in for an adventure -- right now and on a camping trip! That should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou never know with camping trips, do you, Sandy ;-) thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI agree with Nicky! "Camping? With all sorts of crawling little bugs?"
ReplyDeleteYucky! But your excerpt was great!
Thanks Sandra! .... Camping is not my thing either :-) Especially withe the bugs here in Oz. LOL so it was kinda easy to write it.
DeleteOh yeah. They'll have fun camping and it won't be sitting around the campfire at night either
ReplyDeleteLOL ... you might be onto something, Lindsay ;-)
DeleteI hope she discovers that camping is great, despite the bugs.
ReplyDeletethanks fors stopping by, Casey.
DeleteI love the idea of a camping date! Particularly since there's a lot of fun to be had cuddling in a sleeping bag at night.
ReplyDeleteCuddling in a sleeping bag does sound nice indeed ;-) Thanks for stopping by Carrie-anne.
