Yup, I’m back with teases of In Pain and Blood.
As always, if you want the raunchier chapters, as well as the ordinary ones earlier, then consider signing up for my spellster series exclusive newsletter.
Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook Group where people post six sentence pieces of their LGBTQ+ novels.
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 one continues from last fortnight’s snippet…
Frowning, he pushed the man aside and carried on down the stairs.
“Dylan, stop.” Those long fingers wrapped around his wrist, a steady pull keeping him from the entrance. The elf really was stronger than he looked. “There’s no one here that we can help. And if someone hid down here, we would’ve heard them by now. You don’t need to see what became of the rest.”
Do follow the link above, or check out the Snippet Sunday Folk, to see other snippets.

Oh, dear. I get the feeling Dylan’s going to want to see whether he needs to or not. 😦

Now, neither Dylan nor the reader is going to be able to rest, until seeing the rest. Even though the elf is probably right! (rueful grin)

That’s the human psyche for you. Saying “don’t look” just makes us want to see why we shouldn’t.

I love how he’s trying to protect him from what happened.

That’s Tracker for you. Taking that whole “protect the spellster” job one step further.

Likely the same thing that happened upstairs. Just quicker.

I’m thinking “You don’t need to see” is only going to make Dylan want to see.

There’s nothing worse than ‘you don’t want to see’.

Indeed. At least he can steel himself for this bit. Unlike earlier.
