My Sexy Saturday Blog Hop

It's Week #29! Christmas is coming soon.
It's time for a quick time-out from the Christmas and holiday crazies to enjoy 7 words, sentences or paragraphs from a book or WIP showcased on today's hop.

His
smile turned wicked. “In all fairness, I wasn’t sure if you were a crack addict

still seeing you, and I don’t want to hate you.”
“Then
give me tonight and we’ll figure everything out tomorrow after the judge hears both
sides.” He shoved a hand through his hair. “What do you think?”
