Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting me today for Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm sharing another snippet from RET, the third book in my Kaddim Brothers series, which is now available! Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ilam trying to clean up the blood from Ret's bloody nose, how drunk Ret was when he approached Ilam in the first place, and Ret's brother, Genj, coming out of his room and wondering what was going on. This weekend, I'm skipping ahead just a bit. Ilam assured Genj he could deal with Ret, and has managed to stop the flow of blood. Enjoy! After flopping onto the couch, Ret held the pack over his nose. “You’d better clean up since you’re the reason I’m in this mess in the first place.” What did I just say I was going to do? I paused in the middle of rolling my eyes, suddenly confused by his wording. “What do you mean ‘in the first place’?” “You punched me!” he shouted. “And if you hadn’t caused me to drink so much, there wouldn’t be as much blood.” Something was going on that I didn’t understand. How in the universe had I caused him to get drunk? I wasn’t there. As I wiped away at the mess, I tried to get more information. “Why did I make you drink?” **And a little more... “Because you’re you.” He sighed heavily, as if I was expected to know what he’d meant. “And since you punched me, can you get me something for my headache? My head is really pounding now.” He would likely need a lot of tabrue in the morning, but I got him a pain relief patch, putting the kit together again and in its place before giving the patch to Ret. He shook his head, not taking it from me. “You put it on. You caused the mess.” Tempted to smack him with it, I peeled the backing off the patch then stuck the pain relief to the back of Ret’s neck. Normally, I’d leave it with him to do it himself, but I don’t think I’d ever seen Ret this intoxicated. He worried me a little. RET Kaddim Brothers book three Ret Kaddim has the perfect life. He’s a space racer, the leader of the most popular team across the universe. Always planning, practicing, and racing, he has no time for a relationship, but finds plenty of willing partners who agree to his one-night-only rule. Because there is no way he wants to end up in a relationship and stuck with a family like his younger brothers. He’s having too much fun for that. Ilam Nairan always dreamed of becoming a space racer. And thanks to a chance encounter with a retired racer, he is now living that dream. Far away from the mated and pregnant omega life his parents wanted him to have, he loves everything about his life. It’s perfect. But one night can change everything. Especially when too much alcohol is involved. Can these two teammates survive the resulting media storm? What will it mean for their careers? The future of the team? And for them? Ret is a sweet with knotty heat mm non-shifter mpreg sci-fi romance featuring an alpha space racer and an omega space racer who both believe they’ll always be single, snarky but loveable teammates, lots of space racing, endearing family members, an adorable baby, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you enjoy teammates realizing they have feelings for each other, and all the obstacles those bring, be sure to download Ret today! RET is now available!

I think I get what he's saying, but he's the one who chose to drink. Inebriated people don't think well, or much. Nice snippet. 9/25/2022 09:46:07 am
Ret doesn't think well when feelings are involved. The alcohol only makes it worse. Thank you, Kate! 9/25/2022 04:03:54 pm
Yeah, he's not quite sure what to do about these feelings. 9/25/2022 12:15:35 pm
Enjoyed the snippet. I think you portrayed Ret's mixed-up, inebriated state very well. Some truths about to come out maybe! 9/25/2022 04:05:05 pm
Thanks so much, Jean! Depends how stubborn Ret wants to be... 9/25/2022 12:40:10 pm
That's a difficult situation, though hopefully Ret will start seeing things more clearly after he sobers up. 9/25/2022 04:06:12 pm
Maybe, or he might ignore the situation until it bites him in the butt. 9/25/2022 10:36:01 pm
Interesting! Is he going to reveal something he doesn't want anyone to know? It seems like he started that way and then stopped. 9/26/2022 07:02:02 am
Still not at that point yet. Ret is very stubborn when it comes to feelings. Even when he's drunk.

Ret doesn't do well with alcohol, does he? This conversation is going to get really interesting. :) Great snippet! 9/26/2022 07:03:23 am
Thank you, Jenna! Ret drank a lot more than he usually does because of the incident at the bar. But, even drunk, he's still a little constipated when it comes to feelings. Comments are closed.
