In the words of an Alpha Male…nice ass!
Okay, so I’m reading this book…first chapter, and I’m thinking - not bad, I could maybe get into this, has potential. Starts off a little slow, but…OhMyGod…he did not just say that! The big, strong, handsome, tall (6’4″), thirty-something, former marine, Alpha Male, upon meeting a woman, just uttered a word that would never cross an Alpha Male’s lips. He said to his companion, oh, I can’t repeat it. Cringe. Deep breath. He said, Awesome butt. No Alpha Male in the history of Alpha Males has ever used the word Awesome to describe a woman’s ass.
He uses that word again in chapter two to describe a tree. The adjective flung me right out of the story. He might as well have uttered my most hated phrase…love juices - which sends me running for the hills every single time.
Awesome??? My son and his friends sometimes describe a video game as awesome. One of my daughters called the 3-D special effects in the movie Avatar awesome. To an Alpha Male, the word awesome does not exist. It’s not in his vocabulary.
How does an Alpha Male describe a potential love-interest’s backside? Let me think…(and I consulted with the consummate Alpha Male - hubby - on this one), he says:
“Nice ass.”
“Nice butt.”
“Hot little ass.”
“I’d like to get my hands on that sweet ass of hers.”
“That’s an ass I can get behind.”
“Damn, she has a sweet ass.” Or, “Damn, she fills out those jeans.”
“She has a smokin’ ass.”
I don’t mean to be crass, but he might say…”I’d like to fuck that.” Or in polite terminology…”I’d like to get with that.”
Or according to hubby, the Alpha Male might just shake his head in appreciation.
Of course my husband never says these things out loud, he just thinks them, because he knows which side his bed is buttered on.
I’m going to press on with the book, but if I read awesome one more time…
