β€œHow many years is it? It must be over twenty.” Her eyes sparkled, and the corners creased in delicate lines. β€œHow lovely to see you.”

#LesFicFri for 20 Feb: Delicate

This is from a still-1st-draft piece I'm writing with an astrophysicist friend. #SciFiWriters, I highly recommend world-building with someone who knows exoplanets well. It's a blast. The mechanic's name is Wisteria πŸ’œ and she is one of my fave creations.

Happy #lesficfri friends!

I've definitely shared this before, but it's been a while, so I'll share Gwen drinking in her first sight of Captain Hook, right before Hook properly registers who (or more accurately what) Gwen is...

#LesFicFri From my WIP

DeAnna diverted Stephanie toward her vehicle. As the other woman buckled her seatbelt, DeAnna couldn’t help but imagine the fun of doing it for her and ending it with a kiss. [but] Their new, positive relationship felt too new and #delicate to test right now.

The last responsible things she did for the evening were to place her telescope case in its safe cubby near the window, and close the hatch to the prow. Then she was able to hand herself over completely to demonstrating her admiration for Geni, trying to hold onto that delicate thread of consciousness which continued to snag on every moment of pleasure, with time both slowing to a syrupy crawl and slipping away through her fingers like water.

    Phaedra pointed to a small scar on her cheek. β€œShe did this in the bathroom of a Zellers. It didn’t heal well, but this one did.” Phaedra opened her mouth, showing off her tongue stud.  
   The thought of that silver bead catching deliciously against the underside of her clit slammed into her brain, unbidden like an unseen Mack truck. Andi sat up straight, as if that would stop herself from ruining her underwear. She excused herself and ran to the washroom.

They had gone blessed ten steps in silence before the elbhyr grunted, β€œYou will never kiss me.”

Nitara narrowed her eyes. β€œExcuse me?”

β€œI know how you filthy concubi charm your prey into damnation.”

β€œI’m not a concubus, you ignorant demon, I’m a nensii.”

β€œOne was foolish enough to try and enthrall me once,” Ashrah continued as if she had not listened. β€œI cut off her tongue before feeding her her heart, piece by piece.”

β€œYes, you’re an animal, I had already figured that one out. You've got nothing to worry about, though. Even if I were a concubus, I’d rather starve than feed on you.”

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: No one else resisted Kathryn’s easy smile and friendly banter, and Jenny certainly couldn’t blame them. Outside, when Kathryn put her hand on her shoulder, Jenny was thankful she had the cold as an excuse to remove it before she gave in, confessed her attraction, and fell into her arms. Oh, how she wanted to fall into those arms.
