Another tidbit from my contemporary, By Hook or By Crook. Joe and Ivy wagered on a game of pool. When she won, she got to claim her prize: dancing together to the old Aaron Neville tune, "Tell It Like It Is." In this scene, they're on the dance floor of a tiny bar and the sexual tension is rising.
"You
should tell it like it is, Ivy." She could barely hear his hoarse voice
over the music, but she understood him loud and clear. "Do you want
me?"
His honest
question demanded an honest answer. She swallowed and decided to be braver
than she felt. "You know that I do," she returned, unable to look
away.

Love that song, Linda. Sweet six!
I love how she can't look away! It just intensifies the whole six. Fab job!
Love how their conversation goes with the music in the background...hope you follow up with where you left off...would love to know what's going to happen next!
Uh-huh. Honesty will get ya into trouble, Linda! Nice six.
Great six!
Those first few seconds of revealing your true feelings--where you're both terrified and relieved at the same time. Nicely done!
ohhh, I can feel the tension between them. Great six!
That was a great turning point for her Linda. I remember really enjoying that scene :) So sexy!
Very nice and sexy. I like that she's trying to be braver than she felt. :)
This is an excellent example of how a character grows during the course of a story. Well done!
This little snippet caused me to blush. I loved the innocence, the romance in your six!
I'm late on my 6SS rounds -- was off-line yesterday. :( I love the developing dynamic between these two. Great six.
