_____________________________

More Tija Trouble

“Is there something wrong, Mitch?”

She stared, her eyes misting and her lip quivering like she was about to cry.  It was the greatest weapon of manipulation in her arsenal.

He fought to regain control and spoke in a low, calm voice, “I’d really appreciate it if you would keep what happened between us private.”

“I am sorry.” She leaned in and captured his hand, drawing it to her breast. “Come to my quarters so we can talk.”

    Hahahah, love her technique! "Come to my quarters so we can talk." I don't think talking is what she's got planned at all. :)

    Oh, she is trouble. I don't think there will be much talking if she has her way.

    what a manipulative slut. Mitch has alot of trouble on his plate, and I'm sure he regrets stepping in that TLL. Great show in a few lines, Laurie

    Thanks for your comments, everyone. Yes, Tija has a real hankering to..."talk." LOL

    I'm way behind with SSS this morning, so time to get caught up.

    I get the feeling "talk" might not happen so much. ;)

    I don't really think there's going to be much talking happening. Well, at least not the coherent discussion kind.

    @ Kaye. Hiya! Yeah, I like the photo, too. *whew!* It's an iStock purchase. I find a lot of great images there. (Found several of the cover photos for my published CPs, too.)

    Tija's actually hedging into minor antagonist territory in this story. Lissa is the heroine. Tija presents a moral dilemma for Mitch, the hero. The situation is part of his character arc and plays a role in resolving a family issue in his past. (Hard to explain better without spoilers.)

    That little bit makes her sound like a clingy manipulative female. I don't like her.

    On the other hand I do love the six you gave us.

    “Come to my quarters so we can talk.” LOL Talk? Maybe more like command to strip out of your clothes. :D

    Great snippet. Need more!
