Welcome back and thank you for stopping by and reading this snippet from Swashbuckler, my contemporary romance. Comments and feedback are appreciated!
Set-up: Rodger has taken Rachel away for a weekend up in the Napa Valley area of California (wine country, for those not in the know). They’re on a picnic. They’re both intent on a slow seduction.
After you’re done reading my snippet, please, please stop by the Snippet Sunday Facebook group and show other authors your love. And please, always feel free to Tweet about this post #SnippetSunday.
“Don’t we have the whole weekend up here?” Rachel turned to her side and draped her arm over his waist.
“Yes,” Rodger smiled at her and gave a soft kiss on the forehead. “No, we’re not in a hurry, but I think you’ll like what’s up next.” He kissed the end of her nose, a light touch before pulling back.
“Let’s stay here for a little bit.” She settled next to Rodger’s body. A sigh bubbled up, then escaped, as she kissed his lips. Once, twice.
“I could get used to this.” Rodger’s arms wrapped around her. His hand slipped under the back of her shirt and smoothed itself over her bare skin. She couldn’t help but do the same. A sound caught in his throat and he claimed her mouth in a longer, deeper kiss than the one she’d given him.
I could get used to this, too.

Mmmm… nice back and forth, Karysa. 🙂
A well-captured little slice of life. The sensory details are right on.
More wine please! Seems they have a pleasant weekend ahead of them… 🙂
Great picnic. All it needs now are ants. You know, so they have to strip to get them out of their clothes.
Captured the moment and made me remember a similar picnic of my own with hubs before he was hubs. 🙂
I want to be there with them! Wait, that might be awkward. 😉 Great snippet!
Loved the sweet picnic scene. Things seemed to be progressing in the right direction. 🙂
What lovely moment.
You’ve given us a clear hint of how they’re going to spend a goodly portion of their weekend together!
Progress is being made, terrific picnic going on! Loved the snippet.
A fun picnic!
ooh-la-la…playful little snippet. Fun stuff.
Lovely description of the scene. Well done. Enjoyed it.
I’m glad she made the first move, I think he would never have done it.
He definitely knows how to play hard to get, Linda.
Very sweet scene, Karysa. 🙂 Good snippet.
Thanks. 🙂
Wow–nice. The picnic, the kiss, great snippet!
🙂 A simple kiss, is all.
Oh, I bet she could…I know I could!
LOL! So could I.
