Hello, Snippetteers! — my apologies for being MIA for so long… last weekend, I was off the grid, on a Caribbean cruise. (My picture for this week is one I took at the Mayan ruins in Tulum — if I ever self-pub “Obsidian,” my snake shifter story, one of these shots just might be the cover, because I definitely found the ruined city where the Lamiae live!) And the weekend before that, the weekend after the election, frankly, I wasn’t up for much except staring at the wall in a more-or-less catatonic state…
This week’s snippet was written somewhere between Grand Cayman and the Bahamas 😉 and it involves Tiernan and Kevin, the main characters from HARD AS STONE (SoulShares #1), trying to have a conversation in a hot tub. It goes about as well as you might expect…. (Oh, and it’s seven sentences. I really don’t think the first “sentence” ought to count….)

“Shit.” Tiernan worked the fingers of his crystal hand into Kevin’s dark hair, drawing his husband’s head to rest on his shoulder. “Stay up here, at least your mouth isn’t distracting me this way.”
“Optimist, aren’t you?” Kevin nipped at Tiernan’s throat.
“Scilim g’fua lom tú.”
“I hate you too, just as much.”

LOL! Love the interaction and that last line is awesome.
Ooo, very sweet! I’m glad you were able to visit such a marvelously inspirational spot!
I hope it doesn’t sound too creepy but… who should I sell my soul to so you can finish this quicker?
Probably my EDJ employer…. *winks*
Loved this. The last sentences show just how comfortable they are with each other. Just beautiful. I’ve loved these two all the way through. Somewhat of a stabilizing influence (mostly)
Love it!
Ha! This was a fun scene. 🙂
Loved the banter and that pic of the ruins too.
