Imagine, for a moment, a life that we don't bathe in the crazy. Just contemplate it. I know it seems ridiculous right. Where will we get our kicks. The idea of living quietly gives me the shakes too, but think about all the benefits. We can do anything we like. Go shopping and hit the bars whenever we want, without some alpha personality deciding to take issue. We could cover up whatever flame draws these pesky moths to us, and allow the cozy in, reclaiming our inner Zen. Now now, don't look at me like that, even though I know my words are falling flat. I don't think I could do it either, but it's a nice dream, while we are standing amidst this cold winter.

Snippet for #FridayKiss. In which Isme and Jonah have a conversation about what courting means for omegas and Jonah gets personal.

Is #FridayKiss a thing here? Today’s theme is temperature. Here is a #snippet from my #Omegaverse WIP. #writingcommunity #amwriting #romancelandia

cw: self harm, past abuse

#FridayKiss - the word this week is "temperature".

#FridayKiss from To Love the Dragon King (out now!). #LGBTQBooks #FantasyRomance

That moment when I’d found her naked and bathed in sunlight at the top of the stairs in the guest house had been glorious. It was permanently imprinted on my brain. But this time, I was looking forward to stripping off her clothes and exploring her body inch by inch. #FridayKiss

“I’m never doing that to another person, ever.” Isme’s jaw twitched. “I’d rather kill myself.”
“Goddammit.” Jonah turned up the music.
“How dare they call the bond love?” Isme glared. “Calling it that corrupts it. Poisons it. Makes it fake.”
“Stop talking, Isme.” Imse grabbed his wrist.
“Jonah.”
Jonah flinched and let out a strangled noise. “You’re confusing me.”
Jonah’s face was bathed in darkness. Isme wanted to hold him close. He wanted to hurt the alphas who’d hurt him. #FridayKiss

They were crouched on the ground and the alpha leaned forward, as if to sniff Jonah, compelled by forces he clearly couldn’t understand. He smelled to Jonah like luxury, elitism, secrets. Jonah reared his hand back and grazed a slap along his perfect cheekbone. #fridaykiss

#FridayKiss from To Love the Dragon King, out in three days!!! #LGBTQBooks #FantasyRomance

Good m(h)orning @romancelandia the #FridayKiss word is "luxury."

I kissed my way to her collarbones and the rounded tops of her breasts. She smelled delicious, like luxury, like comfort, like some perfumed elixir concocted to make me lose my mind.

Anyone else on @romancelandia wanna bring #FridayKiss over here, too? The word this week is "luxurious".
From my WIP:

Now that we had taken the edge off the lust, I wanted to luxuriate in being able to hold her. She nuzzled into my neck. I had to ask, "Well, did we relieve your tension?"

“You can gawk later,” Roth teased, tugging her away from the rail. “I want you to meet my father.”

Forget his family, she wanted to meet the architects of this amazing place. “Will there be spellcasters at the community meal? The magic here is remarkable. I must know how this place was created.”

His steps faltered, and Silvia thought she saw his shoulders tense, but then he smiled at her, his eyes dancing. She must have imagined it.

#FridayKiss: Theme: CREATE ⛏️

The sculptures and figurines that filled the stall took my breath away. Colourful discs sanded down to mere slivers created soft, vibrant curves that stood out against the harsh, uneven angles formed by deliberately cracked sleek marble and polished rocks. Sharp versus elegant like me and Julian.

#FridayKiss: CREATE

Everything about the look he’d created was subtle, except her eyes. They were the centerpiece. They were shaded like the sunsets she’d seen on the Mexican coast. Orange and pink and faded blue. He’d drawn a lace pattern from the corners of her eyes that fanned out toward her hairline. It was so intricate she couldn’t have retraced the pattern if her life depended on it.

#FridayKiss from To Love the Dragon King (out August 21st!)

#FridayKiss: Cover

Damnit, with his tea finished, he had nothing to do with his hands. He folded them instead. At least it’d be a cover for when one had to squeeze the other to stop him saying something rude. Ruder. He did actually like Mercury, even if the man was more like an oversized, eternal Labrador. “Does it have a name?”

Mercury waved one hand airily. “I didn’t pay attention.”

Which rather proved his point. Caeso sighed and dug his fingernails into the back of his other hand.
