Mia tapped the computer to call up Surfer Dude's medical history. Too many entries she could not access at her clearance level. He might be Lord of the Deep, but a spurt of unease hit her gut like a bad clam.
“When was your last blood test?”
“Maybe six months ago,” he said and held up a hand to cut off her sputter. "Haven't been with a nymph since."

Ohh I like how he got that information in..no nymphs in six months! interesting . .
HA!! Great six!
That last line is very seductive. I can hear him saying it. Great six!
Something tells me he looking to end his long "dry" spell.
So he is in serious need of a little 'spurt'ing of his own.
Hmmm...medical entries that were not at her clearance level and no nymphs for six month - lots of intriguing questions in six
"a spurt of unease hit her gut like a bad clam" - Wow! That's probably one of the best phrases I've read in a while.
Core blimey -- Surfer Dude, Lord of the Deep AND Sexy Beast!! *drools at the piccie*
I love Surfer Dude, and I'm waiting (not so patiently) to read the full story. Six Sunday has a lot to answer to LOL -- but in a good way :)
Just...darn it. Another excellent six that makes me want to buy the book yesterday.
I'm curious to see where this story is going. Great snippet!
lol Nicely done!
Lots of intriguing questions from this six - why too many entries? why the unease? why the 6 months without a nymph? You've drawn me in to this story!
You left me wanting to read more.. again!
Loved your six but honestly it was hard to concentrate with that gorgeous man staring out at me (well it was me in my dreams). I can't wait to see what develops.
LOL Six months eh? hehe Can't wait to read more from this story. :D
That just made me laugh so hard!
Well, he's straight-forward, isn't he? :)
Great last line. Great writing!
Oooo medical entries that she can't access, and no Nymph's heee! verra interesting!
Great six...love the phrases!
Love it! :o)
A lot of intriguing questions arise in my mind. Did he mean nymph as in woman or a paranormal nymph? Hmm. You had me at the clam line.
This situation is so full of humor as well as mystery. Go, Surfer Dude!
ugh - bad clam taste - I love clams- and him - both yummy
Ha! Funny!
Lol. So nymphs are bad business now? :)
Like a bad clam - too funny! Wonder if he'll be surprised that Mia has something else in mind? Hmmm, now I need to read more!
Awesome six! It makes the reader ask all the right questions and drives them just crazy enough to make them do anything to get their hands on more of this story. Good work.
This world just gets more and more interesting every week. I can't wait to read the full story, either!
Fantastic six. Wonder how long before she ends his dry spell
Well, any man who can resist nymphs for months is a hero in my book.
I'm thinkin' I'm missin' some backstory to truly understand but the 'nymph' part has me intrigued. :)
Nice picture...I mean snippet! I hope nothing's seriously wrong with his health. We love Surfer Dude! He can't get sick now.
Interesting what's going on here. Must know what happens next!
I too feel like I'm missing a bit of backstory, but I love that last line! Great six.
He's definitely a flirt!
Interesting sentences. Enjoying this story as I did before. Janet who for some reason is rejected for comments here.
Janet, of course you are not rejected! Select "Google Account" under "Comment as." You may have to sign in to your own blogger account, that's all. And you may have to click it a couple of times. Happens to me on blogger all the time!
Boy, was he ever quick with the "no nymphs" line! But I hope he's not ill. Nothing worse than the Lord of the Deep a little green around the gills. LOL
I think that the thing that makes this is the offhand, casual way he reports "no nymphs"... it's ordinary to him, right? and of course there's all sorts of everything-else going on in the background; you've packed a lot in here.
No Nymphs! Poor surfer dude. LOL.
UGH - Couldn't post with Google account - signed in but it's not "sticking".

But are there other creatures he could have been with? ;-)
A lot of interesting character work and world building in this six.
I can just hear him using his "I've been a good boy" voice to deliver that line. LOL
Surfer dude is too freaking hot!!
ROFL! You had me at the clam!
HA! This was FABULOUS! I have to read this entire story! ;)
I was off SSS for a few weeks, and I still love this story! I must have it! Is it out yet? :)
Sounds like the guy has quite the history ;) ...probably more than his medical records could tell her even IF she had clearance.
...and that is hilarious that you've got clams in your SSS submission this week too :)
cold turkey-6 mos, huh?
Haven't been with a nymph since! HI-larious! :)
