Six Sentence Sunday: The Olympian

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday!

Here’s something new for you today. My six is from The Olympian, a short story about lust, love and second chances. The manuscript is currently out on submission for consideration in a holiday anthology. *crosses fingers*

In this scene, Rachel, an Olympic skier hopeful, stops at Starbucks for a chai latte on her way to Crimson Mountain for a weekend of training. She meets Hans who offers, well insists, on giving her a ride to the mountain because he thinks her tin can of a car is unsafe. Let’s just say they don’t exactly hit it off.

Rachel speaks first:

“Two can play this game, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I know plenty about you, guys like you are a dime a dozen. You’re used to women eating out of your hand at the snap of your fingers. That’s not happening here so move along, asshole.”

She turned on her heels and began to walk toward the door.

“A pretty little mouth like that shouldn’t say such dirty words.”

Does she turn around or keep on walking? Find out next week when I’ll share the next six lines. Click here for more Six Sunday fun.

  1. Oh, so much tension between them, which can easily lead to something else. ;) Great six!

  2. Now she sounds like a firecracker and he sounds like a smooth moves kinda guy…I look forward to next week :D

  3. Karla Doyle says:

    Good luck on the submission, though I’m sure you won’t need it. :)
    If there’s going to be dirty talk, this sounds like my kind of story. Looking forward to reading more.

    Very nice dialogue, and just the right pinch of sexy! Good luck to you!

  5. Cara Bristol says:

    Love his line! Good luck with the submission.

    Not sure Hans is up for a challenge like this one. At the very least he’s off to a rocky start. I like the spirited Olympic hopeful that Rachel obviously is. Good luck with the sub, Sandra! Great six!

  7. Elin Gregory says:

    Spirited is one thing, rude is another. It’ll be fun to find out which she is. :)

  8. She definitely turns around with a great comeback..no way could she keep on walking!

    Nice job on your six…and fingers crossed with you on your sub!

  9. Carrie Crain says:

    Hans. I already have a visual on this dude and it’s not pretty. LOL. She’s a pistol and a half. What a great six!

  10. Eleri Stone says:

    I bet his response doesn’t change her mind about him:)

  11. Oh, he is smooth. A compliment and a set down all in one sentence. I like him.

  12. Kate Warren says:

    I’ve got an idea that she’s not going to respond well to his last statement there. These two sound fun.

  13. S. J. Maylee says:

    Oh! Yes. I got a feel for both of them. Nice! I love to ski, looking forward to reading this one.

  14. Someone deserves to have his face smacked right off!

  15. You can feel the sparks flying. Great six. Good luck on the submission.

  16. Kate Meader says:

    Oh, these two have the chemistry all right! Very fun six, Sandra.

  17. Oh, I love this! Fantastic dialog!

  18. Lila Shaw says:

    Ha! Love a bitchy heroine and a cool as a cucumber male!

    Great enemies start!

  20. Ohhh, wonder what she’s going to do. Nice Six!
