Chapter eight of In Pain and Blood will be on here the weekend after next due to the Virtual FantasyCon 2016.
If you want the chapters earlier as well as the raunchier ones, then consider signing up for my spellster series exclusive newsletter.
For now, my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk, here’s another teaser.
Blurb: When a routine inspection goes awry, Dylan is left unleashed and alone. Afraid he’ll become prey for the King’s Hounds, he struggles to make his way back to the only safety he’s ever known. Or is it?
This piece follows the previous week’s kiss…
“No, I—” His voice squeaked. He cleared his throat and went to try again.
Tracker’s long fingers found their way to Dylan’s lips, gently tapping them to suggest he remain silent. “It is late, we’ve perhaps talked far longer than we should have—you indulge me far too much. You truly should go get some rest before your watch. Was that not what we were just discussing? Lack of sleep could lead to… unpleasantness and I would not wish for you to misjudge your target.”
Nodding slowly, he stood.
“We can talk more tomorrow night, if you desire.”
Don’t forget to check out the other excerpts.

“Lack of sleep can lead to unpleasantness…” I like that line! Nice snippet. Lack of sleep can also lead to reading these snippets instead of what I should be doing–cleaning–ewww. LOL!

Why don’t they make self-cleaning houses?

Fascinating discussion they were having, so much unsaid under the words. Loved your ‘voice’! Great snippet.

Hmmm. I think he’s being seduced by the “dense” man. I went back to previous scene…whew…what a kiss.

I think “seduce” might actually be Tracker’s default setting.

I’m trying! Hoping to use the rush of Nanowrimo to finish it.

loved the snippet … loved the “simple words” which have a huge effect.

I think unpleasantries is an understatement concerning lack of sleep. I would know. LOL. I think his word choice at the end, “if you desire”, has a very subtle undercut hint to it, and it is not about talking.

Tracker doesn’t really do subtle, as you might discover next weekend.

I love the relationship you’ve built between them. 🙂

The depth of their relationship seriously got away from me. By the time the story reaches the “excrement hitting rapidly rotating blade” bit, they’ve only known each other for seven weeks…
