It’s Saturday – yeah!!!
I’m so happy it’s the weekend, since I could use some downtime. 😉
So what does Lud do for a living?
—
Sure, his natural, clean scent was…arousing. But the usual for Lud was not having washed in days after coming back from his trips. It was as if he had to be as disgusting as possible. I wondered sometimes if he was putting something out of his head, a bad experience maybe. Or he was just being an ass, testing me at every turn.
When I had asked my then-prospective co-habitant—a thirty-nine-year-old, six-foot-three, light brown-haired, gray-eyed hunk of a man—what he did for a living during the interview I’d held for potential roommates, Lud had grinned broadly, his dimples cutting deep in his barely shaved cheeks, and said, “Traveling Consultant, of sorts.”
I had speculated since then who on Earth would “consult” with someone like he had turned out to be, but what did I know? My life experience was pretty narrow in some areas. All the same, the fact that my life revolved around complaints about Lud—at least in my head—was a reflection of a really sad and lonely existence.

Read more snippets–all of them fabulous–on FB:
Park ranger? Somewhere really wild and without facilities where he patrols for a few days at a time? Or maybe he takes people on survival trips…. intriguing.
Oooh, that would be fun, wouldn’t it? 🙂 Thank you!
Aww, that last line strikes me as being sweet, even though it shames him. (heart)
Thank you 🙂
Hmm…”Traveling Consultant, of sorts” is still pretty vague. I’m totally intrigued by Lud! <3
He thrives on being vague. 🙂
Really wondering what Lud does do for a living after reading this. Nice tease.
Thanks 🙂
Ooooh. I want to know more about this *consulting* thing now…😄
Soon, I promise. 😉
Nice! I immediately wanted more.
Thank you! 🙂
