I wish you a
very happy holiday season. At the end of the post, you can check my special
offers.
Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences.
Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today, I’m continuing
the scene on the ocean planet from my new release Grand Master’s Mate. You can
read last week’s snippet here –
I’ve skipped a few
lines for another snippet without a fight. Violet and her Grand Master,
Athanor, came to the Planet of AguaSalva in response to a plea for help when
the planet’s oceans were invaded. Here, they are sailing on the giant shell,
Callama.
Athanor focused on the line of teal at the
distant horizon where the sky touched the sea. Every few minutes, he glanced
into the translucent waters or at Violet’s face. Sensing the warmth of his
gaze, Violet flushed. They did not need words to exchange their love.
“We
look like two sea lions,” he sent.
Smirking out of his sight, she pretended to
grumble, “I hoped for a few romantic
words on our pleasant cruise, you walrus.”
“You
know I can’t make sweet talk, nor do I have tusks.” He covered her hand on
the shell with his long fingers. “I’d
rather see you without the suit.”
“Later,
after we’ve dealt with the invaders,” she proposed.
To
celebrate completion of the Trilogy, Grand Master’s Pawn is only 99c this month

ReplyDeleteOf course, after several months together they have moved past the awkward stage, mostly.
DeleteHe actually sounds quite sweet, in his own way.
ReplyDeleteHe is sweet to her.
DeleteHaha that was cute and romantic. I liked it a lot. I think Athanor is better at sweet talk than he realizes.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wanted to give you a change from fights. He hasn't had a lot of practice.
DeleteA charming snippet, love the way they gently tease each other at this point.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are comfortable together.
DeleteWalruses, eh? Which Beatle was supposed to be the walrus?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Aurora.
Not sure. Actually, she is referring to their watersuits.
