. . . deeper, deeper inside her, opening her up, stretching her, moving deeper inside her. Making her moan and writhe. Held tightly to a heaving, virile chest by strong, possessing arms. Turning her head toward his face as he lifted it from the hollow of her neck. Dancing hazel eyes, handsome, chiseled blondness. Full lips. Possessing lips. He took possession of her lips as, moving an arm under her rib cage, he began to move her up and down on his deeply embedded manhood.
Edith stopped reading when she heard the snort. She knew it would be Ethyl, and when she looked up, she could see that it, indeed, was Ethyl.
"Whew, is it hot in here or is it just me?" Ethyl asked in mock consternation. She was fanning herself with a lace handkerchief.
Edith had placed herself as far away from that woman as she could at the table in the library's meeting room. Ethyl always acted this way at the meetings of the Blackthorn Writer's Guild. Edith didn't know why Ethyl came except to mock her. She didn't know why Ethyl treated her this way. She was published, just as Ethyl was. Well, maybe Ethyl had an agent and a publisher and Edith published herself, but it was all the same to her. They had works available in the marketplace and they had their own special readers.
And it was all the same to the other women gathered around the table, Edith was sure. Published is published. They had been quite attentive while she'd read from the manuscript that was almost perfect now, the manuscript Edith intended to turn into a Kindle book as soon as she reached home. Mary and Anna certainly had enjoyed the reading. They were both leaning into the table, licking their lips. Meredith was making little puffing noises and her eyes were bugging out. In fact, Edith could clearly see that the woman's hands weren't on the table but were in her lap doing who knows what. Jan was sitting quietly and looking up at the ceiling. But that was just Jan. who ever knew what Jan thought about anything?
Edith had been writing and publishing her erotic Romance novels herself for years. Why she'd made nearly $3,000 last year from her e-books. That was nothing to spit it. It had gotten her—and Ethyl as well—to Baltimore last year for a trip to the national aquarium. Let Ethyl snort at that.
"And just what are you finding insufficient with 'The Prince and the Country Maiden,' Miss Ethyl Crankypants?"
Meredith seemed to have snapped back into the present and was looking a bit distressed. Jan appeared to be counting the ceiling tiles. Mary and Anna just looked at each other and struggled to see who could roll her eyes better. The cranky Crandell sisters were at it again. The others might as well pack it in for the day. Mary stuffed the pages she was going to offer for critique back into her purse, making quite a show of it.
"Besides a country maiden having an ermine cloak as you described in the passage you first read? Just what are you offering as sufficient in that manuscript, dear sister?" Ethyl asked, her voice saccharine sweet, but her facial expression decidedly sneery.
"I have my loyal readers," Edith said with a sniff. Ethyl was being a pain in the butt, she thought. Then she regretted bringing that thought up. It reminded her that she had an actual pain in buttocks and also up on her back. She had to remember to put salve on both when she got home—although that probably would be useless that early; it probably would be better to wait until she retired for the night.
"I know your two readers well. Miss Dumb and Mrs. Dumber." Ethyl followed this up with a cackle. "You are such a romantic with your well-built—and hung—princes and your willing young maidens, ever ready to open their legs. Always the hopeful young maiden, aren't you? Shall we all sing a verse of 'Someday my prince will come'?"
"I suppose you have something brilliant to read for us," Edith retorted. She immediately was sorry she'd spoken, though, because she well knew that Ethyl did had something to read—something from a manuscript for which Ethyl had received a glowing letter of acceptance from her literary agent. Edith knew that Ethyl was just biting at the bit to read from that manuscript at the Blackthorn Writers Guild meeting and then to note that it already was being sent around to the publishers by her agent.
"As a matter of fact I do," Ethyl announced, her voice full of triumph. "I'll read a passage, and the members of the club can determine which of ours is the best."
