Welcome, my dears! I hope your weekend is absolutely wonderful, so far. Mine is filled with coffee, writing and taxes… ick.
Here’s a snippet from my story “The Cookie Said ‘Red'” which was re-released today by JMS Books – woot! Benjy, the head of security in Cisco’s apartment building, has just come to Cisco’s rescue (bad date gone wrong in his apartment.) In this scene, Benjy is taking notes, listening to Cisco as he explains what happened.

“He wouldn’t go. I told him to get out, then he started walking toward me, and the argument escalated. I locked myself in the bathroom, and he banged on the door, yelling at me. That’s when you entered the picture.”
Benjy finished typing and then put his phone away. “I’m glad it wasn’t worse.”
“Me, too. Thank you, Benjy. I owe you my life.” I clasped my hands under my chin and smiled.
The corners of his mouth lifted into something resembling a smile. “Ever the drama queen, aren’t you, Mr. Boyd?”
“Born and bred. I have a tiara in my closet as proof.” That earned me an actual chuckle. He was breathtaking like this.
“Why don’t you call me Cisco, Benjy? It’s easy on the tongue. So am I,” I added…
