The
worst shifter pickup lines by Lia Davis
Hello! I’m here today with Sable and Ana from
Ashwood Falls. We’re talking about pickup lines.
Lia: Thank you for chatting with me.
Sable: Our pleasure.
Ana: It’s always nice talking with you.
Lia: So our topic today is pick up lines. Do shifters
use them?
Sable: * rolls
eyes * Yes, I’m afraid so.
Ana: But it’s different with age. The teens to young
adults are still in the shy stage, well most of them anyway.
Sable: Yes, while the adult males are all “I’m your mate,
accept it” * she spoke in a deep, mocking tone *
Lia: * laughs * What are of the funniest or craziest
ones you’ve heard?
Ana: Oh I have one. A young wolf, who was trying to get
out of trouble by flirting with me, had said, “You make my wolf purr. How about
a little bite?”
Sable: * laughed so hard she nearly fell out of her
chair. * That was lame. Let me guess, it was Cody?
Ana: Yes. * she frowns * I miss that pain in the ass.
Sable: * takes her hand * He’s in a place as is all the
children from Onxy. That is the ones I could save.
Lia: What the adult males? Are any smarter when it
comes to dating?
Sable: Nope. They’re clueless. I heard a couple of bad
ones. “Baby, I’d like be the cream you lap up on all fours.” and “You and I go
together like a wolf and his bone.”
Ana: Oh man, those are awful. Why don’t males just
straight out ask for a date instead of trying to impress us with their bad
choice of pick up lines?
Lia: I don’t know. But if they didn’t use them, then we
would have as much stuff to pick on them about.
Sable and Ana together: So true.
Lia: It was great talking with you. We’ll have to do it
again soon.
Ana: Yes, we do.
Sable: Your welcome.
Just for fun, make up
your own shifter pickup lines and post them in the comments. I hope everyone
has a wonderful summer!
Hugs,
Lia

Missed
connections and might-have-beens are great romance novel fodder. Summer
romances and flings? Even better! Let me tell you about one of the best pick-up
lines I have ever had the good fortune to receive.
The summer
of 1995 was a scorcher. Temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s and high humidity.
So, naturally, I elected to spend the hottest two weeks of it at a campground
in Pennsylvania, wearing layers of medieval garb.
Every
August, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a medieval recreation
group, hosts a mock tournament and war called the Pennsic War. 1995 was the
first, and alas only, year I was able to attend. In addition to battles and all
other things medieval and military, there are medieval arts and crafts (my
favorites were music and dance) and lots of partying.
The year I
was there, there were also—and this is the important part—two swimming areas.
One was designated the family swimming hole, the other, the classic swimming
hole. I’m not sure why it was a classic, but I do know this: it was
clothing-optional.
Did I
mention it was hot that year? And that I was in layers of heavy cotton and
linen? Being young and impetuous, when my friends said they were going swimming
at the classic swimming hole, I decided to go along. It took all my courage to
shuck my skirt and my bodice and my chemise and my underwear and go wading into
the water. Which felt, by the way, like absolute heaven.
So there I
was, in water up to my shoulders, when up walks (swims?) an absolutely gorgeous man. Green eyes, curly brown
hair, nice smile. We started chatting (okay, I was flirting), and he suddenly says, “You have the most amazing
blue eyes.”
As is my
usual MO when someone I’m flirting with starts flirting back, I panicked. To
this day I don’t know how I managed to keep from ducking under the water and
running away.
He said his
name was Taran, and he was from (alas
again) Seattle. We promised to meet up later that night for dancing at the
barn. As he was leaving, one of my friends leaned over and said, “You’re
standing naked in front of him, and he compliments your eyes. Now that’s a gentleman!”
Even better,
when we found each other at dancing that night, the first thing he blurted was,
“You look different with your clothes on!” (And he was, to my delight, a
fantastic dance partner.)
Well, with
him in Seattle and me in Michigan, it could never be anything more than a
Pennsic flirtation. We promised to email, but neither of us really did. That
was twenty years ago now (!), and I’ve never forgotten him. In these days of
Facebook, you’d think I’d try to look him up, but for one thing: SCA members
commonly have a medieval name they go by rather than their modern real names. I
never learned Taran’s real name, and he never learned mine. My own real-life
missed connection.
In my
upcoming book, As Lost As I Get,
itinerant doctor Zoe Rodriguez and CIA operative Lee Wheeler have a very
different sort of missed connection. They meet when he’s sent in to rescue her
from kidnappers in Mexico, and there’s no time for romance. After spending two
years apart thinking of each other, they get a second chance in a remote corner
of Colombia. Of course, second chances are never simple, especially not when
both of them have jobs that put them in the center of danger.
Despite the
danger, they find the time to reconnect. And thanks to the heat, they manage to
find time for a little skinny-dipping of their own.
I had a blast writing their story—I hope you’ll enjoy it.
And Taran: if you’re out there reading this, Facebook me!
