Keenan kissed her when he arrived at her side—a gentle brush of lips, then deepened the kiss. Julianne recognised what he was up to—she withdrew and stepped back. She held out a filled plate to him.

“Nope. We have to get to work on getting your yard ready for the barbecue,” Julianne said.

Keenan frowned but didn’t complain. He sighed and took the plate, grabbing a glass of juice she had on the counter already for him. Julianne lifted her own plate, retrieved her juice and joined him at the table in the breakfast nook. They ate, flirted and enjoyed the sunshine, bright outside the window.

“This is going to be a very good day,” Keenan said.

He kissed her again. Julianne agreed very much. Food, friends and flirting with this man. Later they would have fun fulfilling the promise of pleasure behind his kiss. But for now they had work to do. She withdrew and cupped his cheek.

“Come on. I have lots for you to do.”

“I say we call everyone and cancel for another day and go back to bed.”

“After all the work I put in?” Julianne arched an eyebrow.

“No. My head is saying no but my body is saying hell yeah.” Keenan sighed.

Julianne chuckled. “Listen to the head for now. Later when people start to stay too long, we can go with your body and politely get them to go.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Keenan rose, taking their plates and cups.

He put them in the dishwasher and Julianne stared at his ass in his pyjama bottoms. It would take moments to remove them and have her way with him.

Control, Julianne. Anticipation.

She breathed out then stood and hurried from the room. As they worked to prepare for the barbecue she had to remind herself of that often. Finally, when Julianne couldn’t stand it anymore, she sent him off so he could get the grill ready. When he left she braced her hand on the table and took deep breaths. She still had a whole barbecue to get through without dragging him off to a corner somewhere.

Come on Julianne you can do this. She picked up a centrepiece and took it outside. She bit her lip as she spotted Keenan standing at the grill. Julianne went back inside and took a seat by the island until she could get herself under control.

“Do you need any help?” Julianne’s hand touched his back.

“Nope. I’m good. The grill is ready to go. Now just waiting for guests.” Keenan closed the lid of his grill.

He turned and slid his arms around her. Julianne raised her head. He kissed her gently.

“Hmm…” she murmured.

“Thanks for helping me with the barbecue.”

“Yeah. Since I have no experience at planning a party, it was so hard.” Julianne blinked playfully.

“I think I taste sarcasm on the air.”

“You know it, buddy. Ohhh…I forgot the ice cream machine.” Julianne hurried away.

 

Keenan chuckled. He should have figured asking Julianne about having a barbecue would have been more than the simple slapping things together he usually did. She’d worked out the menu based on what the people invited were bringing, then figured out what they would need. He knew what she did for a living, but to see her in action was a tad frightening. Her attention to detail extended to the most minor things.

He wandered over to one of the tables she’d had delivered from Moments. It was covered in a tablecloth she had purchased for his use, saying if he decided to have any more get-togethers he should have proper linens. There was even a centrepiece with live flowers that looked summery and fun. When she had shown him the sketch, he’d mentioned they didn’t need that sort of thing. She had overridden him and said Dakota would be offended if he turned down his contribution to the barbecue. And that was that. Around the vase were cloth napkins in various shapes. Scattered on the tablecloth were decorative leaves and vines, all going with the summery feel. He picked up the plates, shaking his head. They were lovely and complemented the tablecloth and napkins.

“Hey, don’t mess up my setting. I want everyone to get the full effect.” Julianne took the plates from him and put them back.

She pulled him away from the table. Keenan glanced around the rest of the yard at the various tables with the same setting. He was awed at how she had taken a simple cookout and given it ‘oomph’, yet kept the sense of a backyard get-together, keeping it warm and friendly. The tables were set around his yard, making it easy for people to get around and sit close enough to talk. Music played from the speaker placed by the spot for dancing. The tables for the food were set up next to the right side of the back door leading to the kitchen and along the fence leading to the grill. The left side of the door was designated for the desserts. He spotted the ice cream machine they would be using for homemade ice cream.

“Thanks for doing this with me.” He ran a finger down her nose.

“Our first barbecue.” Julianne did the same gesture then cupped his cheek.

He lowered his head and kissed her.

Hunky Holidays Blog Hop...

Welcome to the Nice Girls Writing Naughty Holiday Hunk Hop!

From December 12th to 14th the  NGWN  is having a blog hop about what our hunky hero’s do during the holidays.

Today I’m taking you inside what my hero from Unexpected Encounter (Singleton, Book #4) does for the holidays. Driscoll Jacobs is a has an interesting ways of saying things. Here is a Snippet I wrote of how he spends his holiday. Enjoy!

Mine
A Singleton Series Snippet
By Taige Crenshaw

Driscoll snuck inside the house closing the door cautiously so as to not alert anyone of his return. He turned then stifled a curse as he almost toppled over Reggie, his Siberian husky puppy and his kitten Vere— short for Guinevere. The two animals looked up at him and surprisingly they didn’t make any noise. It confused Driscoll for a moment but he took the opportunity to continue his plan. He put his finger to his lips and walked around them then moved stealthily across the foyer to the living room. The room was awash from the light on the humongous Christmas tree. Driscoll smirked as he went to the tree and pulled out the box from the bag he held. He left the bag fall to the floor as he went to place the gift under the tree.

“I thought we said we wouldn’t buy any more gifts for each other.” A woman’s melodious voice came from his left.

Driscoll jumped and looked to where the person had spoken and immediately he went hard as he viewed his wife. Just the idea of it made him feel all giddy. He was a married man to this woman. She was his. She was lounging on the couch with hat familiar twinkle in her hazel eyes that made him want to ravish her. The kinky curls of her reddish brown hair framed her rich honey-skinned face.

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Driscoll turned and went to her still holding the box.

“Now that’d be a shame since I have plans for you later.” Lila lifted and eyebrow and smiled then looked at the box he was carrying. “Dris—“

“Yes I love you too.” Driscoll knelt by the couch she was laying on.

“Don’t try to dis—”

“Make you horny. Now why wouldn’t I do that. It’s my job as your husband.” He stressed the word and smiled.

“You love calling yourself that.” Lila ran her fingers down the side of his cheek. “And damn if I don’t love hearing you say it. Makes me want to tackle you and have my way with you.”

“A tackle is a way of expressing love. Give into the feeling often and with gusto.” Driscoll grinned. “Yeah no matter how many times I’ve said that I just love the sound of it. I definitely need to put that on a t-shirt and have you wear it so I can let everyone know what it means.” He wiggled his eyebrows and laughed.

“You and your t-shirts.” Lila laughed then bit her lip before she shifted and took a box from behind her back. “Here, open this now.”

“Now what was that about buying any more gifts for each other.” Driscoll took the box then handed over the one he held. “You take this and open it now.”

Lila took it and scooted up to sit with her back pressed against the arm of the couch. Driscoll sat in the space she made moving her legs and putting them in his lap. He focused on the box and opened it. He grinned at the gold color of the fabric in the box. It was his favorite color. He took out the t-shirt and read what it said.

A tackle is a way of expressing love. Give into the feeling often and with gusto.

The image on it depicted what the shift said perfectly. Driscoll laughed and glanced at Lila. “You got me a t-shirt.”

“And you got me a nightgown.” Lila held it up to her chest as she recited what it said. “Sometimes fate gives you a kick in the teeth and you need to just pay attention.” Lila smiled softly. “Thanks.”

It was what she’d said to him during the reception for their wedding less about a month earlier. “You’re welcome.” Driscoll leaned closer. “I have my t-shirt collection which is my memories of people. So I figured I’d get you started on your own memory collection of us but make it nightshirts. Something between you and me.”

“I like the sound of that.” Lila leaned in to meet him.

They kissed gently and Driscoll pulled back slightly. “Our first Christmas together. First of many.”

“Damn skippy buddy. This is forever…and if you ever try to leave me I’m gonna hunt you down and then tie you up and make you watch as I burn all your t-shirts.”

“Woman you don’t mess with a man and his t-shirts” Driscoll kissed her on the nose.

“If it is justified I will.” Lila stared into his eyes. “So since this is our first Christmas I’ll let you get away with your overbuying of gifts for me.”

“My overbuying!” Driscoll looked at the pile of presents under and each side of the tree then back at Lila. “My gifts are on the left side of the tree. I wonder who has the right?” He teased.

“This isn’t about me.” Lila glared playfully.

“It sure as hell is.” Driscoll kissed her gently.

“You’re spoiling me.” Lila said.

“Ditto. Again I wonder who is the mysterious person who bought all the gifts on the right side of the tree?” He chuckled the studied her before speaking again. “That’s what holiday’s are for. Spoiling those you love but not with the material things. With what is important—spending time with them and creating memories each year to remember for many years to come.”

“Dris.” Her voice got husky and her breath hitched.

Driscoll shifted and she spread her legs so he could fit between them then he leaned against her. “And that’s what we’re going to do this and every holiday.”

“Yes.”

“Mine.” He growled.

He kissed her deeply and counted his holiday blessings. This woman was his and he would show her each and every day how much he loved her. They would create memories to recall and share with their future kids.
