Winters' Thaw Read online

  She smiled and kissed his chest. Perfect.

  Elizabeth got up before Kevin the next morning, managing to get out of bed without waking him. She started the coffee and sat down to scan the responses to her panic posts from Friday night, after Phil’s phone call. That felt like it had happened a hundred years ago.

  His new wife clearly has a brain leak. Let her have him. You have a young stud who is hot for you coming over in a few minutes. Forget detox. Get drunk on life in his arms! In your bed! Immediately! If I hear from you before Sunday, I will make you regret it. I’m going to go make prank calls to Phil now.

  I saw you shaking that booty on the dance floor at RomantiCon. I have the utmost confidence that Kevin will be a very happy young man.

  Stevie

  Hell, sweetie, I've seen you and you could do at least twelve cross-country trips with your mileage. You're beautiful! Screw Phil. Actually, that's wrong. Screw Kevin and tell Phil to go take a flying leap…preferably off a tall building!

  1. Honey you REALLY have to start checking your caller ID and when the rat bastard calls exercise your option to NOT ANSWER. Or barring that, use what you get from those conversations to fuel your fire to pick up the pace with Kevin.

  2. Okay, babe, time to get your groove on—and yes, you DO still have one!! Personally, I hope it's LATE Sunday afternoon before we hear anything.

  You should commiserate with him on his cock size. Tell him it did impact on his performance and didn't he think it weird that a woman every other man describes as hot didn't feel anything with him? Sweetie, we've all had men like that. My last husband was a bastard of the first order. Dropped me for the younger model. I think I came out of that one best and believe me, you are better off without him.

  Edie

  You bet you do, honey. That asshole Phil wouldn’t know a good orgasm if it fell on him. Reel in that man and ride him hard.

  Autumn

  Wow, talk about being dead-on. How right they all were. Warmth filled her as she acknowledged how much these wonderful ladies had given her.

  At the risk of their wrath for posting before Sunday, Elizabeth took the time to send two words that said it all.

  Thank you

  If a story doesn’t have romance, it isn’t worth it. If there’s hot sex, it’s extra worth it.

  Let’s face it, fantasy is usually a lot more fun than reality. Not always, but usually. As a writer, one can be anything, do anything, say anything that comes to mind. There are a thousand and one ways to make things happen, each one more exciting than the last.

  This is the best job in the world.
