Hello Snippetteers!
This week I’m sharing the last bit from Joe & Kai’s story, Not the Doctor. If it’s accepted for the anthology I’ll post a few more this summer—if not…well, I’ll just be optimistic for now.
As promised, this is Kai’s reaction to Joe’s line: “I could kiss you right now.” That snippet is here. (I’ve indulged in a bit of creative punctuation so the usual warning to squint is in order.)
“Oh?” He laughed—soft and breathless—it sounded nothing like his usual infectious, exuberant laugh. He looked a little tense as he asked if I was hungry. We ate cold pizza in silence for a few minutes. When he asked if there was anything I needed his voice had almost returned to normal. “We haven’t done this before.”
“Hmm?” My mouth was full of pizza and I hadn’t slipped out of position or jostled my bad arm—life was good.
“Shared a meal, just the two of us.”
Thanks for reading!
I’ll see you next week with a little from the paranormal, which now has my complete and undivided attention. (Hear that, Colin & Al? Let me get some sleep next week or I’ll make you share writing time with Jeff & Michael!)
Don’t forget to hop around for more great snippets!

Sharing a meal is romantic!
Definitely some sexual tension in the air here. YUM!

Good luck with the anthology. Lots of nice tension and romance in this scene.
You’re not allowed to stop now!
Good luck with the anthology — I want to read more of these two!
So awkwardly sweet!
Let us know about the anthology, please! I don’t want to miss their HEA!
Best wishes for the anthology! I really enjoy reading about these two characters, another terrific snippet today…
I’m coming to love these guys 🙂 And I do hope it makes it into the anthology, because I’m looking forward to reading their story. I’m sure to be back next week for the paranormal, too!
Thanks, everyone! I truly appreciate your comments–they brighten the editing cave I’ve exiled myself to. 🙂
A sweet, realistic moment. I’m sensing a bit of sexual tension too with this snippet. 🙂 I wish you good luck with the anthology!
