Turning to her with the toothy smile of a rogue shark sighting dinner, he loosened his tie and began popping the black pearl studs that split his chest and drew the eye to his attention-grabbing torso.
She hadn’t asked him to -- all she'd had in mind was examining the tension in his neck and shoulder muscles -- but she wasn’t about to stop him.
When he peeled off his crisp linen dress shirt, she sucked in a sharp breath and her legs turned to water, the blood racing through them boiling like the stygian rivers in his brother's underworld realm.
Holy sea cow. Was he ever ripped.

Oh my - I love how you keep the surfer/ocean theme throughout your six. Great job!
Great job. I loved '..toothy smile of a rogue shark sighting dinner.'
'Holy sea cow' LOL I loved this six
I like how she has no problem admitting to herself that she's not going to stop him from taking his shirt off.
I want more!
Love the build up! I want to know what happens next. :)
Well l'd really like to meet him! great six!
It just gets more and more interesting each week. Love the pic... love men in tuxs. :-)
toothy smile of a rogue shark sighting dinner, wonderful description and I love the pic!
Holy Sea Cow indeed! I love the language of this story.
LOLOL "Holy Sea Cow!" Love it. And I wouldn't stop him either, a hot man wants to take his shirt off you let him.
Absolutely vivid, fantastic writing. I love Surfer Dude!
I love her voice, and as always, loved this six!
"Holy sea cow"?? LOL. Awesome snippet!
And why would she stop him?
Nice descriptions :-)
Very sensible woman. Let him take the shirt off. :)
A great build up for Things to Come. (In more ways than one, I suspect)
Great six! I want to know what happens next ;-)
"Holy Sea Cow"!!! ROFL!! The analogies in this are the BEST!
Very well done. One of by Fav sixes this week.
Fantastic imagery! Love this six. ;c)
"Holy sea cow" may be my favorite expression ever!

Taking the fantastic and making it seem like the norm is effortless in this scene. Great job. Great six!
Crisp writing and vivid images. great six!
Hee! I love your voice! I must have this book!!!
Love that last line!
Really nice!!! Love this book.
Oh, Surfer Dude, you are full of yum... Great six, Taryn! I'm so hooked on where this is going.
Delicious build up and description!
Should I be ashamed of admitting that I am drooling by now...? Great job, Taryn :)
"The toothy smile of a rogue shark sighting dinner." I'm LOL at this one. Great six.
Great description. But couldn't you have put in the pic of him illustrating the line, "Holy sea cow. Was he ever ripped." LOL Great six.
"Holy sea cow." That line is rich. Lol! Awesome six. Surfer dude sounds delicious.
lol holy sea cow! Love it!
Gotta love that last line. Cool six!
Holy sea cow. That's a classic line
LOL The sea-creature references are great. I love sharks! :)
Nice 6 :o)
Like the voice. Like the idea of being an employee at a hotel servicing Poseidon. It's a nice modern update on a pantheon that was always very close to humanity :)
Holy sea cow indeed! Great six :)
He sounds dreamy...intrigued by the reference to Hades being someone's brother...*hmm* Great 6!
Do love these characters. Hope writing is moving forward. Janet
Damn. I'm in love with this dude already.
Oh, okay. A little back story, since there seems to be a misconception. Mia is not an employee of a hotel servicing Poseidon. She's a nymph researcher/marine biologist with a Ph.d. She's filling in for her sister, Leticia, a nymph-nurse who's generally stationed at the Sky Palace Spa Bay, which is a combination spa and medical facility in the Sky Palace. Surfer Dude's younger brother, Cloud Boy, is throwing a ball in honor of his older brother, Reaper. (The reason for the ball and the honoree may change.) Leticia's gone to the ball. Surfer Dude comes to Spa Bay for some relief for his raging headache, brought on by tension and lack of sleep...he's been up nights because someone's been stealing rare amethyst coral from his realm...
That rogue shark description pretty much says it all. Great six!
OMG! That snippet and the picture have made my day!
Loved his shark smile and the way he took off his shirt. How is she ever going to get through this examination without drooling on him? :)
Holy sea cow! Love it! Great six!
LOL! Holy sea cow! The verbage in this six is great.
Holy sea cow, that's good stuff!
Sea cow. ;) Gotta love a ripped man. ;)
Serious anticipation here, I love her attitude. Fun six!
Such great voice in this. That girl's in hot water, indeed!
LOL Holy sea cow, indeed. Great chemistry between these two. Very fun six.
Love the little bit of mythology in this Six.
Okay, her reaction is hilarious :)
great six :) def makes me want to know a lot more
Mmmm...I like the sound of this. A lot! ;)
I just have one thing to say about this snippet; when the bleep do we get to read the whole story? What can I do to help speed this along?
Yummy six!
