This week’s theme is A Sexy Sleigh Ride and it’s our hats off to the holidays. Don’t you just love those amazing holiday sleigh rides? It is one of the most romantic things about the holiday season. Sleigh rides are awesome…heck…any kind of ride can be awesome when you have the right someone with you. It can start with a brisk cold night. Maybe the car or the spaceship won’t start. Somehow, your characters have found themselves in this very outdated mode of transportation and are having the times of their lives. It can end in a place where only lovers go. And you want to know the details.
Unfortunately, I don't have a sexy sleigh ride scene, or sleigh ride for that matter. What I do have is a car ride. Is it sexy? You decide.

must regenerate and I shift to my wolf form at least once a month.”
She kept her eyes on
the road. “Once a month?”
“Yeah, my regeneration
will fall in sync with your cycle.”
“My cycle?” Her high
pitched voice pierced his ears, she glanced at him.
“Your monthly cycle.”
If he had to spell it out for her, he’d blush worse than a teenage girl.
“Oh, that.” Her face turned
a bright pink in the dim lights of the car’s console. At least she understood
what he meant.
He faced the window to
give her a moment to process the new information. He had to hand it to
her. She was taking it all quite well.
