Ugh! I woke up on the couch with the worst headache, my mouth tacky and dry. Not the first time I’d woken like this. But my jaw, why was it sore? Sitting up, I remembered returning to have a shot with Ilam, yet everything after that was fuzzy. Obviously, I hadn’t stopped after one drink.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the stream of sunlight shining through the only window in our common room and onto my face. Wait, something happened last night. Had I tried to kiss Ilam? An image of his face directly in front of mine kept flashing through my mind. 

**And a little more for your reading pleasure...

Definitely close enough to kiss. But had I really? I rubbed my jaw, trying to remember. Is that why it hurt so bad?

Nah! It had to be a dream. I would never do such a thing. And I’d probably slept wrong. Completely understandable if the empty bottles on the table were any indication of how much I’d had to drink.

Slowly pushing to my feet, I shuffled over to the fridge for a tabrue. I desperately needed to get rid of this grogginess before meeting my family. We’d agreed to get together for one more meal before my parents, Vawn, and his family returned to Orez. The first bottle of the hangover cure didn’t help. My head still pounded and my joints remained stiff.

​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!

​Frozen in his soft gaze, I thought he was going to rest our foreheads together. Yet, when he leaned closer, I felt the press of his lips to mine. No fantasy I’d ever had of him could have prepared me for this moment.

I wanted to pull away. Probably should have. But the fantasy of being held by him was still running through my mind.

His lips weren’t soft but firm as they plied my own. He knew what he was doing, taking control and pulling me quickly under his spell. I couldn’t help but want more, drawn under by the sudden rush of need.

**And some more for your reading pleasure...

Moving his hands away from my neck, he trailed his fingers down my spine before cupping my ass. Then he was over me, pushing me back to lie on the couch. A situation I’d imagined more times than I would ever admit.

Gripping his biceps, I struggled to catch my breath, his attention back on my neck. I couldn’t help the moan that slipped out as he traced his tongue across an extremely sensitive spot under my ear. Stars, this felt wrong but so right at the same time.

“You smell divine,” Ret whispered. “You’ve always smelled good to me. I tried to ignore it. Tried for so long. But I can’t anymore.”

Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone who visited me last weekend! I'm back to share another snippet from RET, my most recent release.

Snippet setup: Last weekend's snippet showed Ret conversing with Ilam and trying to understand him, but failing. And he may have admitted a couple times that he found Ilam attractive. I skipped ahead in their conversation a bit more, leaving out the parts where they talk about their favorite and least favorite holo-movies they've watched as a team. Enjoy!

Ret set the bottle down and leaned slightly closer to me. “Now, what’s one we haven’t watched that you want to?”

My heart raced with him that much nearer, and I had to really concentrate to come up with an answer. I tried to recall all the titles I hadn’t had a chance to watch because we were often practicing. “From Planet 713.”

Ret raised his eyebrows. “You would watch that? It’s a bit gory. Maybe too scary for you.”

**And a bit more...

I crossed my arms and pouted. What did he know about what I was afraid of? “I’m not only a fan of romance, you know. I like to be scared. Gives me a weaker version of the rush I get when racing.”

Ret nodded with a smile. “I get it. But if you’re ever too scared, you can come see me.” His voice softened. “I’ll protect you. Always.”
