The #WIPSnips word for November 15th is “progress”

From Seasons On Ice Book 2
"Hockey guys are only interested in one thing," my father adds. "You shouldn't trust them." "Dad, you're a hockey guy," I remind him. He played in the minors for years and has been coaching since his early 30s, working his way up from youth leagues to his current role as an assistant for an AHL team. "And I was only interested in one thing when I met your mother." "He was quite good at it too." Oh my God, I do not need to hear about my parents' sex life. "Was? I think I'm still pretty good at it." I hear my mom giggle and I know exactly where this is going, and I have zero interest in being a bystander as it progresses. "Okay, I'm hanging up now. Love you mom, love you dad. See you next month when we're in Montréal."

#LesFicFri "LEG"

From THE TASTE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 2 of VERONICA'S LIFE

#LesFicFri "LEG" She lay on her side. She could not lie on her back unless supported by a dozen cushions, and even then her back would ache, but she did not mind lying on her side because her face was buried in Polly’s hair. Her left arm stretched beneath her lover’s neck, reaching round to cup her breast while her other wrapped around Polly’s body with her hand resting on her belly. Veronica’s breasts pressed against her maid’s spine, with her legs bent up against Polly’s rear end. It was perfection. Although Polly was dribbling on her arm. Veronica wished Polly was not asleep, but was loath to wake her. She kissed her shoulder. No response.

From Licorice and Mint: Ch 7 - New Skin, New Scars
“You sure me being a virgin isn’t a dealbreaker?” A single finger skated under Nat’s chin, tilting her gaze up. Their lips were inches apart. “Are any of my rules dealbreakers?” breasts pressed against Nat’s chest. The urge to sink into them was nearly irresistible. One thought stood clear above the tangle of emotions in her chest. “No.” Closing the distance between the two of them was easy, so easy. Nat pressed her lips to Ceres’, and the lust that surged between her legs blasted away any last reserves of doubt. Ceres’ tongue prodded against her mouth and Nat opened for it, tasting the cider on the woman’s breath. Nat surrendered to the exploration, unrestrained excitement and joy ballooning in her chest. Why hadn’t she done this hours ago? When Ceres broke the kiss, she panted, Nat’s forehead to hers. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

November 14th – week

Anthropomorphic, today!

Ray chats about staffing shortages with a colleague.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“I know. But don’t worry; we go through dry patches like this sometimes. We’ll find more soon, I am sure.” Carmine smiled. “Easy for you to say, you aren’t the one working hundred-hour weeks.” Carmine shrugged. “We just have to cast a wider net. We will find people. And if we don’t, we can reach out to the other enclaves, maybe they have some to spare.” “I hope so. I need a vacation. Somewhere sunny.” I wasn’t holding out hope; the other enclaves were probably no better off than we were. “Wouldn’t that be nice?” Carmine commiserated. “Somewhere with nude beaches, maybe.” “Don’t you get enough nudity in your day-to-day life?” “You can never really have enough nudity.” I sighed. “I’m going to the target range. I’ll see you later, Carmine.” The incubus turned and sauntered off. I watched him go. He carried himself with the easy grace and assurance of a practiced predator, which he was, in a way, so perhaps that wasn’t surprising. But maybe it was why I always had trouble turning my back on him. Once he was out of sight, I continued on my way to the basement.

#NovemberWorldbuilders 15. The Sônlônh is a major river in the Kingdom of Ophádün (Edenia), flowing through the capital city, Dueóng, and its main forest, the Rúng'kán.

Its large body of water serves for practical and religious uses, and its waters are, predictably, kept clean by the inhabitants +

Welcome to our third week, #NovemberWorldbuilders! This time we're talking about important RIVERS or LAKES in our world! But, tbh, any sufficiently important body of water will do. Also, don't feel obliged to answer; sometimes I cover niche topics that aren't for everyone!

Mildly nsfw from *that* chapter 23.

If you want to hear it, the audiobook will be available in advance on my site December 1st.
Pat unhooked the button of her jeans with her teeth. Lisa was about to ask where she’d learned to do that, but thought better of it. That was a question for another time. Right now, after this long, she was determined to enjoy the ride. And she would. Pat peeled the denim from her hips like one of those magic tricks where someone snaps a white table cloth out from under a full spread. Lisa’s teeth raked across her bottom lip. Pat pulled a leg over her shoulder, hot breath cascading across the inside of her thigh.

This part will probably get cut in draft 2, but it's here now.
“I suppose that explains why they’re aiming for the crotches of the target dummies.” Sparx winced. “How can your whole family hate men? What did they ever do to you?” Talia grabbed a knife. Calum may be long dead, but the trauma of the Natalists selling her to him would never be erased. Sesi pinned her in place with a look. Callie escorted Sparx outside before she got herself killed.

“You know I’m domestically challenged.” “Do I ever!” Lisa laughed again. “Remember that time you tried to make risotto, and the house smelled like burned rice for a week?” “Yeah...” Pat bit her lips. “That’ll teach me to make something just because a pretty girl says she likes it.” Lisa’s stomach twisted. She had been the one who said she liked risotto. Pat wasn’t flirting, was she? Jesus, Lisa, get yourself under control. Pat’s just giving you a compliment.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: Jenny blinked at the shimmering figure before her. She looked like a tap dancer out of a Busby Berkeley musical, with her silver and gold lamé tails and short shorts, separated by a burgundy cummerbund. Jenny couldn’t help but notice the woman’s legs, as was the intent, and she silently reprimanded herself for falling into the club’s web of sexual vice.

#LesFicFri 14 Nov: Leg

Pale, soft naga-fiber rope on pale skin. Arms behind, her back arched, held upright by the same cord fixed to the ceiling. Perhaps only one leg touching the ground. Eyes moist. A bright red gag in her mouth... which always Monica hated. Thoughts of her shatter the daydream.

Florrie gritted her teeth as she swung her legs into a Jaguar saloon. Of course Diana would have an expensive car. Florrie couldn’t imagine her in a little Morris Minor.

Today’s #lesficfri theme is “leg”

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a snippet from THE ICE BETWEEN US, so here’s one I’ve never shared before, from one of the additions to my latest draft.
"A Stag Lift is where..." Before he can finish his explanation, a woman's voice chimes in. "He wraps his right arm around your waist, picks up your extended left leg, and spins you around while you keep your right leg bent. It's quite literally one of the simplest lifts you could possibly do, Golden Girl." Freja. She stands in the doorway wearing a light blue sport crop top. She looks impossibly tall, even leaning against the doorframe, the length of her legs enhanced by the shortness of her matching booty shorts. "Didn't expect to see you here today," Misha says to her.

She ran ahead, as graceful on two #legs as she was on four. Laura smiled after her and made sure her bandana wouldn’t fall off as she gave chase.

Legs, you say. Along with being expressive, alluring, and downright useful, they can also be used rather offensively. And for Rachael, well, that's just part of her style.

(From Soul Flames vol 3, the 4th book of the Soul Flames series)

books2read.com/u/mYQOqV
Cover of Soul Flames vol 3 with the following excerpt: Power flared around her as she called the array into being, the circles and runes glowing like the rays of the morning sun as they spread out from her, encompassing the entire area. Seymor and both of the shamblers screamed as their flesh started to smoke, the tendrils stopping dead in their tracks and collapsing in a shower of blood. The blood on the wall sloughed off, splattering onto the ground and spraying everywhere as it flowed in a rush towards them. “Eww, that’s gross,” Crystal complained as she lifted herself off the ground with her wings, and by the sound of it Catlin was also hurriedly picking herself up behind her, as fast as she could manage anyway. Rachael zipped around Crystal, her leg slamming into Seymor, smashing him into and right through the wooden wall behind him like it was a piece of paper. “There is always a choice,” she stated

Theme - legs
Story : Two Lies and the Truth between them.
German title : Zwei Lügen in festen Händen
Scene : When you are all dressed up for a social occasion but your girlfriend has other temptations.
So Arli slid until their hips collided while she slotted her leg between Hanne’s thighs. “So this dress belongs to a distant aunt, you say?” Arli’s fingers became exploratory, roaming over places, applying the correct pressure to draw the proper sounds from Hanne. She lowered herself slowly while tracing tantalizing circles along Hanne’s naked calves. “And these pumps.” “They are borrowed too.” Hanne almost moaned. “Must be difficult to walk untrained in heels? I was told it hurts.” Arli drew patterns on her ankles. “Exactly here.”
