☁️🌈Let's Make a Rainbow! Day 6 of Nicole Frail’s Rainbow Author Challenge: BLUE🌈☁️

Nicole’s assignment today: search your WIP for the word “blue” and post an excerpt.

Our FMC is arguing that her word alone should be enough for the police to bring in the bad guy. Her argument is that she is a judge and the District Attorney (our MMC) should just trust her gut.

“You are a *retired* JAG officer. That doesn’t actually count in Los Angeles, doll.” He’s doing his film noir voice. It’s the only reason I don’t call him out on the “doll” insult. He even looks like an old-fashioned movie detective in his crisp navy blue suit and skinny green tie. He is handsome, this prosecutor I’m so lucky to have on my side. I bat my eyelashes at him, my mocking acknowledgement of his faux patriarchal taunt.

He sighs. Loudly. “Look, if I can get a warrant–”

Hearing what I want to hear, I cut him off. “Perfect. Thanks. You may go,” I dismiss him with a wave of my hand and turn to my computer monitor.

I catch his reflection in the still blank screen and smile to myself. His heat hits me first and then I feel his lips on the back of my neck. “You can’t dismiss me that easily, Mav.” The rumble of his deep, rich voice sends a shiver down my spine.

Involuntarily, I turn my head to give him access to the rest of my neck. “Can’t I?” Before I can even take a breath, my world is spinning. Literally. He’s spun my desk chair 180 degrees so I’m blinking up at him. My husband.

“Kiss me goodbye, Mav.”
