Fed Up
Page 25
“Dinner will take a while longer. Are you getting hungry?”
“Aye, lass,” he growled in his Scottish pirate rasp while throwing me a seductive look. “I could eat the scabby head off a wean.”
“What?”
“Roughly translated, it means I’m ravenous.”
I shook my head while attempting to hide another smile. Living with Ian might have its challenges, but I was convinced it would never be boring.
“Am I still too much?” he wanted to know.
“More than likely, although I’ve decided that too much of a good thing could be wonderful.
“In the meantime, since we have some time before dinner…and you’re all rested…why don’t we get your bags and I’ll help you settle in.”
We hadn’t spent any quality time in bed together since before the trip to Vancouver, and now that we were finally alone, I intended to make up for some lost time. Something in my tone of voice must have given away my intent because both his eyebrows rose as he regarded me with the same amused expression that I remembered from the day we met.
“Do you have something specific in mind?” he inquired.
“I certainly do.”
Taking his hand in mine, I laced my fingers through his and stood up. His smile widened when I commanded, “Come upstairs, and hurry. John Thomas and I need to get reacquainted.”
Acknowledgements
Writing Fed Up could not have been possible without the help and support of the following individuals:
Thanks to Bonnie McCune, whose thorough and thoughtful manuscript critique made the story better and set the stage for a sequel.
Additional thanks to Susan Franks, whose sharp wit and humor inspired the character of Shelby.
Love and hugs to Diane Baird, my friend of more than 50 years, chief beta reader, and fan of all my scribblings.
Finally, a shout-out to the talented professionals at Limitless Publishing for making Fed Up the best book it could be. Merci beaucoup!
About the Author
Kathleen Duhamel wrote and illustrated her first short story at the age of eight and has considered herself a storyteller ever since. After growing up in a small Texas town, she earned a master’s degree in communications from Texas Tech University. Her love of the written word continued throughout her varied career as a newspaper journalist and editor, public relations executive, freelance travel writer, and owner/operator of two small businesses before becoming a published author in 2015.
She is the author of the contemporary romance novels Deep Blue. Deeper, and Deep End, along with a companion novella, At Home with Andre. Kathleen’s stories feature vibrant, smart, and attractive older women—a vastly underrepresented segment of the romance market—who experience love and satisfying sex, despite the various pitfalls that accompany later-in-life relationships. Her newest release, Fed Up, features two troubled Gen-Xers who meet and fall in love at precisely the wrong time.
Kathleen has spent most of her adult life in Colorado, where she lives in the Denver area with her husband, an enormous standard poodle, and a big, friendly cat.
