Although previously I've posted excerpts from my short story soon-to-be released by TWRP, Into the Fire, this week, I'm posting from my current WIP, Who's the Cake Boss. Hope you like.
Set up: Lindsey used to work with Evan as an apprentice baker, but he let her go after a month because she had a tendency to make a mess of things. Truth--Evan thought she was too good for him, and Lindsey's attraction to Evan made her nervous. Now they are competing against each other on a televised cake competition, but Lindsey says something that jars Evan's memory about the time he overheard her telling a fellow employee she'd never had an orgasm. Without further ado:
Every time he worked with her from that point on, images of teaching her--but most definitely not about cakes--kept distracting him. Instead, he wanted to show her just how good sex could be, with the right person--with him.
But he hadn't made a move except to push her away--far away. He'd fired her. He hadn't wanted to be the one to corrupt her. She deserved better.
For those new to Six Sentence Sunday, it's simple:

2) pick six sentences
3) post 'em on Sunday

It would be hard to bake a cake when your mind isn't on the prize...or maybe it was.
Terrific six! I wonder what the cake ended looking like?
Seems like deep down inside he's sweet. :) After only 6 sentences I'm already hoping they get together. Nice 6!
See, there are those silly ideas about pleasure for a woman equating corruption. Hope Evan gets past his hangups.
Great six!
Thanks for stopping by ladies. I'm working hard to bring these two together with a HEA.
sounds like he's got some issues to work out. Nice 6!
He sounds like he's hiding a soft spot to me. ;)
Just like a man...thinking he knows what's best. LOL
Well done!
Best,
Allure
Yep, Evan's stubborn, but he'll come around.
Hey, I love foodie romance. Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Great six. Whoop Evans butt in the contest.
Cake and sex...

Interesting characters that I'd like to get to know better. Sounds like a fun story!
My six sentences are here: Sandy's Six
