Today’s
excerpt is from Bear’s War, Book #5 of the nine-book Asps Series. Holly plays matchmaker. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.
m.j.
Just then Holly
and Sarah walked into the work area, with Sarah carrying baby Holly. Holly asked, “What’d you say this time,
husband?”
“Patty wants to
get in the sack with Anson—and, if he’s not willing—wants to try Jack out. Was just asking me how to go about it.”
Patty
pouted. “Jim, dammit—that was said to
you in confidence. And, Holly, I didn’t
say I wanted to go to bed with one of those guys. I said if I got married again to have a man
to help raise Harry, I’d want it to be someone like them—and wanted to know how
to go about it. Jim said I should just
ask one of them to go to bed with me…crap.”
Holly looked at
Jim and growled, “Stanley James Scott, you can be a big pain in the ass at
times. Patty asked you for help and you
have to wise off. Gad. Patty, you have a preference of the two?”
“Yeah, maybe
Anson a little bit.”
Holly nodded and
took out her cell phone. Anson’s cell
phone rang and he answered, “Hi, Anson here.”
“Anson, this is
Holly…big Holly, not baby Holly…she can’t talk yet.”
With Patty
shaking her head no violently, Holly continued, “When you get a chance, ask
Patty out on a date. She thinks you’re
cute.”
“You on the
level?”
“Yeah.”
“I will. I think she’s pretty as hell, and nice as all
get out.”
“Good, so long.”
“Bye.”
By the time
Holly put away her phone, Patty was red in the face and hiding said face in her
hands. Holly grinned. “He’ll ask you out when he gets the chance.”
Jim and Sarah
were laughing as Patty peeked from between her fingers, then opened her hands
enough to stick her tongue out at Holly.
Holly ignored
it. “He said you’re pretty, and
nice. Right off the bat…no hesitation. So he must have thought of you a bit,
too. He spent a long time married, and
probably likes the institution. As far
as I know, he’s not had a date since his wife died. Do you both good…even if nothing comes of
it.”
