Today’s excerpt is from Too
Many Women, the first book of the Becker Trilogy. The morning after a major thunderstorm and
sex during it, Bob and Terri are getting breakfast for the household before
planning for the upcoming day. Enjoy and
have a wonderful day.
m.j.
Terri grinned,
“Thanks again for last night—WOW! I’ve
heard ‘mad sex’ is good…but I’m here to tell you ‘scared out of your mind sex’
is better. But I’m thinking it would be
good with you anytime.”
“Was great—I
feel the same way about you.”
Leo walked in,
looked at the table set for five—including orange juice poured for all, with
bread, bacon, and eggs on the counter.
“Sure was one hell of a storm last night. Glad to see someone is as hungry as I
am. What can I do to help?”
Terri pointed. “Sit down…well, make that after you get your
own coffee.”
Bob just nodded
as he put bread in the toaster, while Terri started the bacon and eggs.
Leo got his
coffee and sat. “Horace will be along
shortly…he’s in the east gun port, checking things over. By the way, you okay, Terri? I thought I heard a scream right after the
last big bang from the storm.”
Terri blushed as
she glanced at Bob, who sucked his lips into his mouth to avoid smiling. Leo noticed, but said nothing, before Terri
answered, “Yeah, I’m fine thanks.
Now. I don’t do storms well. Had an incident when I was a kid…been scared
silly by ‘em ever since.”
When Horace
entered the kitchen, he yawned and stretched.
“Hell of a storm last night. The
tree the guy I shot was in is down, by the way.
You okay, Terri? Thought I heard
a scream last night. Nearly got up, but
figured you’re just not too fond of storms?”
“I’m fine. Thanks.
No, I don’t like storms.”
Bob busied
himself with helping Terri, to keep from needing to comment. Both he and Terri were glad when Bill came in
with Tillie, who Terri had let out earlier.
Bill scratched the side of his face.
“Morning, folks. Some storm. Bob, the pool generator got hit…trashed—burnt
to a crisp.”
Tillie ran over
to Bob, as he nodded his acknowledgment of Bill’s comment, got some attention,
then moved back, sat, and waited for something good to happen. Bob sighed, went to the cabinet where
Tillie’s food was stored, and filled her food bowl.
Breakfast was
shortly well underway. When they
finished, the dishes were taken care of, and Bob had called Murray Mason to
make sure all was well with him and his family.
Then they all sat around the kitchen table with coffee to discuss their
plans for the day.
